I would lean more towards the sublime. While it can easily be explained away is a “happy accident”. I believe that your story has more of a larger implication to the power of relationships. Therefore, it impresses the mind while inspiring awe… <br /><br />Consider this, through your daughter’s life long relationship with you and then adding in your son-in-law, your desires, thoughts, feelings, points-of-view, have all coalesced at that exact moment in time. <br /><br />They understand you and what you like, which drove their decisions to purchase the items they did. Your own personal likes drove you to consider these items even though you did not purchase them at the time you had the opportunity but you would have at some point. <br /><br />Some believe in a greater consciousness. Which if you do, your thoughts somehow transcended your internal self and became part of the consciousness of your daughter and son-in-law. This drove her to purchase those items. To me, this also aligns it more to the sublime rather than the ridiculous. <br /><br />That all being said… I am assuming it was still a happy accident for you. So, since we are in the voting season, my vote goes for sublime. <br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15806527908203542695noreply@blogger.com
