You know how sometimes things line up so bizarrely that fate/destiny/etc is a more rational answer than coincidence? Like the direct intervention of something or some things very old and definitely not human seems far more logical.
Well, that was Friday.
Karl had an excellent interview with a cult, Royce sold his car and we got a call from the BHC apologising for the mix up and letting us know that our application was at the top of the queue.
Then we went on a road trip.
Our call actually came whilst we were driving out of the carpark having, just that minute, handed over Royce's car. And we were talking about Karl's job interview when the phone rang.
Why it feels like something more than coincidence is that it occurred after I had "let go", so to speak. Instead of railing against the world and loathing New Zealand for trapping me here, I accepted our fate and... more than that... remembered what it was I like most about New Zealand: it's landscape.
Put another way, it was as if it took me remembering what it is I love about New Zealand before she would even think about letting us go. I had left it all up to the universe and the whole thing just kind of manifested. (In fact, as I was typing the words "I had left it all up to the universe" just then the phone rang. It was the BHC confirming I will have my visa in the next couple of days.)
It's not coming across very well but the feeling in the car as everything lined up in the space of a couple of minutes was weird. Like we all became aware that something very large and invisible had appeared in the car.
Sorry for the occult sidebar but if you know me then you will understand.
More on this awesome development later tonight.
