To begin, the word scout used as a verb means "to find by seeking, searching or looking". Hmm? How interesting that this word would end up being just the acronym I was looking for while searching for meaning in these "Strange Cases Of Uncanny Timing"! Seek and ye shall find.
The phrase "Strange Case Of Uncanny Timing" is a phrase I strung together to describe what would seem like a mere coincidence but allows for the possibility that there is more meaning to it. While this phrase describes only the event and resists the temptation to interpret its meaning, its a bit long. I decided that a simple acronym would help to shorten it and therefore make it more useful. I sat down with my scrap paper to play around with the first letters and see what I could come up with.
I'm horrible at word puzzles so it was no surprise that I couldn't see my dogs name in the first letters of this phrase until I sat down and pulled each one out and looked at them as a word. When my dogs name appeared on the first try I was stunned. I sat back and laughed at the fact that, just by coincidence, my 7 year old goofy Portuguese Water dogs name was the acronym I had begun trying to construct. Scout was strangely enough a S.C.O.U.T.!
This combined with the definition of the word gave me the tingly feeling that I am being walked down a garden path. I am seeking, searching and looking for meaning in these uncanny connections and, while this excersize seems to raise more questions than it answers, I have no choice but to follow this path. Its an interesting and awe inspiring path so I don't mind, but the question that seems to grow with each turn in the road is "where does this path lead?". The only way to find out is forward!
