Two days after seeing four BMW s, we went shopping again. On our way to a store, I did not think about BMW cars at all. To me, what happened that day was simply a coincidence or one of those strange days.
We arrived at the store. My husband pulled into a parking space. I got out of the car. Immediately, I noticed a BMW was parked next to the car opposite to ours! I thought, "What! Are there that many people that drive BMW s?" I did not say anything to my husband for he would not see it as a coincidence. As we walked toward the entrance of the store, I could not help but looked at some of the cars that I walked past. I did not see anymore BMW.
We finished shopping. Before we got into our car, I saw a BMW moved into a parking space across (not opposite) from where we parked! If we came out of the store a minute or two early, we could have left the parking lot before that BMW arrived.
In the weeks (or months?) that followed, I would see BMW s in such a way that really drew my attention. The following incident is another example.
We stopped at a red light. Our car was the third car behind the red light. While waiting for the traffic light to turn green, the car in front of us (i.e. the second car behind the red light) suddenly moved over to the next lane / right lane. Right away, I saw the first car was a BMW. I let out a joyful laugh. I said to my husband, "The second car moved to the other lane so that I can see the first car is a BMW!" My husband said, "No, that car moves to the right lane because it is about to make a right turn." When the light turned green, the BMW stayed in front of us for only a short while. Soon it turned left to get into a shop on the other side of the road. Meanwhile, the second car remained on the right lane for some more miles and did not turn right as my husband had assumed. When we made a left turn into a shopping center, the car was still in the right lane.
Did I see BMW s all the time? No. Most of the days I did not see any BMW. I also did not hold the intention of seeing a BMW.

In early July, I got an email from the assistant of the lecturer. A woman who attended the 8-week lecture series wanted to get in contact with me. After hearing what the lecturer said of me, the woman wanted me to give her a healing session. (Re my post Sometimes I never know how a day is going to be )
After a few email exchange, we decided to meet in a park, a park that both of us had not been to. I arrived early. I parked my car in the middle of the parking lot. I saw two cars at the farther end of the parking lot, and no one seemed to be inside. My phone rang. She said she had arrived and asked where I parked. To put a long story short, I almost did not believe my ears when she said, "I drive a white BMW."
She had brought two chairs for us to sit in the center of some trees. We wore masks and sat some feet apart as per the governor's order. Soon more and more people came to play in the park.
While we were talking, she saw a big caterpillar fell on my shirt. She picked up a leaf and gently used it to remove the caterpillar from my shirt. Later, a couple of caterpillars climbed onto my pants and another one (or two) fell on my shirt. Other than giving her a healing session, we talked for almost two hours. When we were about to leave, I saw a small caterpillar fell on her. She was happy because caterpillar symbolized transformation.
During the June online lecture, I wrote I did not like attention. She took it as I was shy. She said she had helped a friend to get rid of her shyness. She volunteered to help me too. Personally, I did not regard myself as shy, but many of my American friends thought that I was. I thanked her for wanting to help me because I always appreciated other's good intention.
Before we parted ways, both of us hoped to meet again when the pandemic was over.

The weather has been nice. Most mornings I go out for a walk. I hope you are enjoying the summer too.
Love and Peace,
