It has since been shortened to The proof is in the pudding. It implies that you should take the initiative to learn by examining the evidence that supports the claim yourself.

As I was finishing up my dinner, he came out to the seating area and brought a wrap to eat, it was slow there, for his break.He got a seat nearby to me, and seemed nervous, Getting up a few times /pacing to say something to the cashier ....ate his meal within 5 mins and threw rest away. I am shy so I kind of still looked down/finishing my meal. A few mins after he was done, he came back out to where I was, where there is a t.v. right above the table next to me... He reached up to turn it toward me (I was the only one there now) and looked at me, quizzically/questioning - like if that was good or better... I said, 'oh thank you , that is great..' And he replied "I wasn't sure if it could be seen" (it definitely was fine how it was).. then a min. or two later, he wen toward the back again, and I had to go anyway. I think, Geez I am probably really overestimating what it was, but it felt a li... less

So, do you ever feel like the universe is sending you a (beautiful) message?
Here is Carl Jung’s story: He had a client who just DID NOT believe in dreams, and of course dreams are really his thing…. So, the cynical doubter was relating her latest dream, which involved a magnificent scarab beetle in ancient Egypt, or something like that.
Well just at that instant, a real-live scarab in all his or her colorful glory flew in the window to join the proceedings! The dreaming doubter was so impressed all her skepticism evaporated, and the therapy went along just fine after that.

And as for me, yes. I love magical thinking/synchronicity, and use it often! less
On one hand I feel like it would be liberating if most anybody expected nothing and sorta like just went away.On the other hand that sounds like a jerk thing to say. What about you?

There is confusion about what is purple, violet, magenta, rose, mauve, and other shades of mixing primary and secondary colors. So what comes after tertiary colors? Red and blue makes magenta, but then there are so many shades of red and blue! I can't wait to get to the tints!

In 1971, Abzug joined other leading feminists such as Gloria Steinem, Shirley Chisholm, and Betty Friedan to found the National Women's Political Caucus.
Abzug declared, "This woman's place is in the House—the House of Representatives", in her successful 1970 campaign. She was later appointed to chair the National Commission on the Observance of International Women's Year and to plan the 1977 National Women's Conference by President Gerald Ford and led President Jimmy Carter's commission on women. less
