You know the words. The little bits of wisdom people put at the end of their emails. Or at the top of their Myspace. Or just stuff they write in their blogs. Just a sentence or two here and there. Is there anything to them? What inspires people to write what they do, and how does it affect their lives? Is it possible that what we quote inspires us on some higher level to live by the words of the quote? Or are we in tune to the workings of the universe in some way that what we choose to quote is actually a premonition, a foreshadowing of the events to come?
When my brother joined Myspace last year, he wrote in his about me section "I don't know if I really belong here." And this February, he died unexpectedly. Did he know in some way that he was leaving?
I joined Myspace last fall and in the spirit of the release of the latest Harry Potter flick, I put the quote "Difficult times lie ahead, Harry" at the top of my profile. Did I know in some subconscious way that indeed, difficult times did lie ahead for me?
