Every once in a while we step into a scene so bizarre, so incongruous with normalcy, that it stops us in our tracks. We think, “Look at that!” Some people cultivate a garden or an art collection. I’m into cultivating Coincidences, Dreams and Deja Vu. I believe that I experience such encounters because I first ask the Universe for them and then, the ever important step of paying attention. You have to be on the lookout. Usually I’m looking for a sign that seemingly impossible possibilities are possible. On September 4th, 2019, a male praying mantis hitched a ride from Manhattan to New Jersey on the railing of a Seastreak ferry that I took, to spend a beach day at Sandy Hook National Recreation Park. The views of Manhattan, Brooklyn, the bridges between and the Statue of Liberty are spectacular. What was more spectacular on this particular trip is that our hitchhiker clung to the metal railing as we headed across the bay. It’s a very windy 45 minute journey but he hung on the whole way. I can’t believe that I managed to snap a photo of it. Praying Mantis is a master at stillness and patience. They take their time, slow and easy. It brought a smile to my face as I was heading to the beach for some relaxation!
