Ok, So I’m waiting on the train platform outside of Boston being harassed by a large moth when suddenly out on nowhere this bird swoops down and grabs the moth in midair. Super cool right? So later I board the train and on the first stop I see a dwarf walking in the direction of Boston College, a few stops later I see a pair of identical twins, and their even wearing the same color shorts and halter tops – Strange. I was feeling kind of sluggish in the high heat and humidity and a half hour later I was completely rejuvenated and ready to take on the world. Should I attach any deeper meaning to this? Hotwater
I want to hear what the rest of your day holds.... I'm interested in moth and the bird. Was it dark? Because it is rare to see moths flitting around in the day. Also - what kind of bird? Usually they aren't so hungry that they are going to come swooping down on something that close to a human - unless it is a bird in your own yard that is used to you. All of that combined with the other stuff...well, I want to hear about the rest of your day/evening. In my experience things are more likely to be signs or portents (or even harbingers) when you feel in your gut they are; but, only time will tell.
The events took place at midday, I too was surprised to see a moth out at noon, as for the bird it was small and dark gray, I didn’t recognize the species although it’s common to the area. The rest of the day was unremarkable, I spent some time at Barnes & Noble book store, bought two t-shirts and a pair of khaki shorts, and had some clam chowder at Faneuil Hall Market. Hotwater
The moth is a sign of impending death, the bird the grim reaper. When the grim reaper swoops down on your fluttering ass you will be gobbled up. It means you're going to die someday. A dwarf walking int he direction of Boston college signifies that that is the direction he wanted to go. You should follow his example and go in the direction you want to go. The message appeared in the form of a dwarf because time is short and as it was clearly pointed out to you by the moth and bird, one day you will die. The identical twins wearing identical clothes points to the dual nature of reality. You are alive but also you will be dead someday. Time is short. Your ass is fluttering. ....And the train rides on.
Your synopsis with its deadly overtones doesn’t exactly fill me with joy. While you’re not temperamentally suited to read tea leaves, entrails seem to be right up your alley. Hotwater
the problem with attaching meanings is they could mean anything. if they did, you'll find out what, after its too late for knowing it to make any difference. that is if you ever do at all. portents are just no more useful then any other part of the scenery. besides that they leak in the rain.
1. Birds eat moths all the time, nothing special there. 2. Dwarfs make up about 0.05% of the population, or approximately 160,000 people. In a city like Boston, with a population of approximately 650,000, there should statistically be about 325 dwarfs. Since this is Boston, a big city, I assume that there are even more dwarfs (since you know, they can dress up as Leprechauns and whatnot.) We can safely assume that there are at least 1,000, if not more, I would guess... so, your likelihood of running into one is a lot higher than you'd think, especially if you're in a high-traffic area or out during the holidays. 3. As far as identical twins go, 3.5 out of every 1,000 births end up in identical twins. Therefore, statically, Boston has about 1260 individuals (or 680 pairs) of identical twins walking around. Taking into consideration the fact that artificial birthing methods have significantly increased the likelihood of twins being born, as well as the fact that a city like Boston will attract more unique individuals, I would guess that there are at least 1,000 sets of identical twins in Boston. So yet again, a strong likelihood. Now... talking about running into them on the same day (and ignoring the bird eating a moth, that happens all the time)... then the odds do go way down... so, all in all, you may be onto something. Weird day. Go buy a lottery ticket.
