\"Day<\/a><\/p>\n

I was walking in my parents’ yard Monday afternoon and just happened to see a four-leaf clover. I don’t know how. I just saw it. I kneeled down and plucked it, and then spotted a ladybug perched on a blade of grass. And then saw another four-leaf clover right beside it<\/a>. I left that one for someone else to find. <\/p>\n

I spent some time in the grass, just kinda breathing and thinking, then got up and strolled around some more (damn, I want a yard of my own and soon), when I came upon another patch of clover and sat down. In less than five minutes, I’d found six more four-leaf clovers. And yeah, I’m sure there’s some science-of-mutation nonsense behind the frequency with which four-leaf clovers pop up, but at the time, I felt like I had tuned into some wavelength that I normally hover just above or just below \u2014 one that I ignore because it moves a little more slowly or perhaps even more quickly than the pace at which I’m used to clipping along. I mean, I have never ever<\/i> been able to find those things before. This time last year, I found my first four-leaf clover and that was that. It’s almost as if now that I know I can find them, it’s easier to do so. Everywhere I go, I see them.<\/p>\n

That’s total crap, I’m sure. But it makes me wonder. <\/p>\n
