Synchronicity

By kate on August 9th, 2005

After my first snooze this morning, the radio came back on just as John in the Morning started talking, and it was perfect timing. He identified the previous song as being from Sky Cries Mary’s new album, and then went on to announce that Roderick and Anisa Romero (the lead singers of Sky Cries Mary) just had a baby nine days ago! They’re staying in Seattle through September (to avoid the New York heat), before returning to their current home.

I was delighted by the timing of both the on-air announcement and the birth, seeing that Sky Cries Mary is one of my very favorite bands, and that I’ve always looked up to Anisa. In addition to being a beautiful musician, she is also an artist* – she’s the one who painted the icons I used for this journal [when it was on LiveJournal].

Knowing that Roderick and Anisa (as well as other friends and acquaintances of ours) are experiencing this same journey makes me feel connected to the world and the human race.

* Most of what I consider her best paintings are not shown on that website, but I can’t find them anywhere on the web. Anisa and Roderick also design treehouses (including ones for Sting and Donna Karan), and do interior and garden design.
