What is it called?

What is it called when you have a song in your head and you turn on the radio to hear that song being played? Or to be thinking of someone and the phone rings with them on the line or their email or text pops up? Or when two of you say the same thing ("jinx...you owe me a coke"), I mean beyond the word 'coincidence?' 

We've all had such an experience. It is different from but also similar to that eerie deja vu feeling. Whether or not it has a name, it reminds me that we are all connected to the universe in a variety of ways beyond walking on its surface and finding relationships with our own and other species. 

It's Earth Day on Wednesday. At the office the Green Team has been talking about ways to observe the day and decided to recommend we turn off all lights for an hour. Some people won't notice and a few may be bothered, but perhaps everyone will think about the action and the meaning behind it. 

Earth Day is one reminder of our inter- and co-dependence with earth, air, wind, and water. And each other. Just like those simultaneous radio or email experiences.
