Things are constantly fitting, clicking, and lining up with other things, just because you were there to perceive them from a particular vantage point.
One might term this phenomenon 'virtual order', for want of a better term. Some expressions of this are in a permanent state of potential existence, ready to become real each time someone happens to notice them. They are like quantum wave functions whose collapse can be reversed and repeated.
Others are ephemeral, like the condensation trail that just happened to meet a building en pointe when I saw it from a particular spot in the parking lot.
A psychologist might say that this is simply an anxiety-ridden personality trying to impose sense upon an indifferent universe, and of course, they would be right too... but I still wonder what wonders and terrors are out there that we're not seeing, just because we're not at the right spot in spacetime to perceive them.
