Lucky coincidence?
Welcome back to our weekly Drop in the Ocean post where we feature the amazing content that was created for the show.
This weeks topic was Coincidence and as you will find in the posts we have for you today, this is a source of confusion for many, whether it is amusing or hints at deeper significance this is a topic with more spiritual ties than we tend to give it credit for.
If you reflect a bit on the times that may have gone a bit wrong, then one should start noticing that there was always a turning point which mostly remains unexplained, now this may not be universal in that it applies to all things but I am willing to bet when it has occurred you will appreciate the fact of how significant coincidence can be.
Join us as we dive right into this weeks Drop in the Ocean.

Diving into a bit of history about coincidence through the ages and how it has been a source of consternation for a long time.
Scientists often argue that coincidences are nothing more than the laws of probability at play.
From her personal ideas, some history behind the topic and highlighting the fact that a lot of fiction writers use these phenomena to create the stories we all know and love.
Be sure to share your thoughts on the topic over on her post - Coincidence or the Universe at Play?
@Monchhichi23
There is always that one person who seems to just have all the luck. This becomes a bit of a problem for others when they tend to always be drawing the short straw when going up against such a person. The best solution?
I decided to have a little fun and for the draft party, we had a voodoo ritual...
You obviously try to change their luck, and when it is a group effort maybe you have enough to back your efforts.
If they end up losing that round is this just coincidence or did it really work?
