Was talking to a guy about religion. He said he isn't religious but he believes there is "something" that basically works in mysterious ways in people's lives.

To explain, he told the story of when he was at a crossroads in his life, just divorced and unhappy in his job. He wanted to pursue his passion which was metalsmithing but had no shop to work out of.

At a smithing convention, he randomly started talking to this guy who it turns out had a shop and one of their employees just left so they needed someone to fill the spot.

So the guy I was talking to saw that as some kind of pseudo-divine intervention because what are the odds?

And here I'm thinking, you're at a smithing convention, of course you're going to run into people with smithing shops. If he had met the guy while on safari in Africa, then I'd be more impressed.
