Is this evidence of weirdness?

Back in about 1981 I used to ride with a group of bikers. Once and a while we would ride an hour or so out of Brunswick, Ga to a place everyone called, "the circle". You went a couple of miles off the highway into the woods on a dirt road to a place on a bend in the river. There was a clearing that was kind of circular and I always assumed that was the meaning of the name.
We, the wife and I, thought this would be a really nice place to live.
Twenty two years later, I am selling a home in northern CA and trying to find a home around Brunswick, GA. After about 6 months of looking I find a home listed in the local paper. 3 BR custom cedar home on 2.5 acres adjacent to 2.400 acre WMA. (wildlife management area). I ask for pictures and they send some. Two days later my wife arrives and views the property. The next day we give them a deposit.
It take another 6 months or so to sell our home in CA, but eventually we are on our way to see the home we have owned for a year, but never lived in.
We get to the home on a really foggy January morning and I tire of waiting for the moving truck with all of our stuff. The fog has lifted and I go for a ride. I almost immediately think that this looks really familiar. Specifically a long bridge over the Satilla River. Then I see a sign for the Zirkle landing historical site. I think, no way, this can't be the circle. I take the road and a few miles though the woods, I arrive at the circle.
22 years later. From 3,000 miles away. We bought a home exactly where we thought it would be cool to have a home, 22 years before. How can you experience this and not believe in some sort of fate, karna, something?

You sound like Jung.

Yes, Jung's concept of synchronicity, a coincidence that cries out for explanation.

Aptly called "The Circle," yes?
That should have been the title of this thread.
That should be the title of the story or magazine article that comes out of this.

Hopefully we are all having fun!

I am pretty sure that I remember Jung saying that something other than coincidence must be at play, that he did not want to believe it but there you are.
