do things just *happen*?

i am not a superstitious person by nature, in fact, find myself pretty grounded and believe nothing happens by coincidence.

that being said, ever have one of those days where everything awkward happens around you, but you are only indirectly involved as a bystander to each of these events? within a matter of not even 10 minutes yesterday, one of my servers was busing a table and in bringing the items over to the counter, put a partially-filled glass down and knocked it over - all over the place. no biggie.

a minute later, i am clearing a table and chatting with the customers and the lady started talking and knocked over an almost-filled glass of iced tea on her partner - took more than a few napkins to clean up. they started laughing because they saw the glass get knocked over near me just a minute earlier.

going around to the other side of the counter, my other server was making a new batch of iced tea and failed to flip the pourer up and it started pouring out, all over the place, as i was walking by.

is there a deeper hidden meaning in all of this or is it just *something that happened*? there was a time in my life, things like this - little things that nobody would notice - would happen around me, like people tripping and falling. countless times. enough for something inside of me to sit up and take notice, and all at once, look for a deeper reason than "oh, it was all a coincidence."

is there logic to all of this?
is it simple?

or is it deeper?
