What BBN said about it

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorA bear in California walked into its local library on Winnie-the-Pooh's one hundredth birthday and left with a jar of honey.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorWith us now is Tobias Wrenfield, an intention strategist. Tobias, what happened here?
Tobias WrenfieldHank, that bear set an intention. The universe doesn't do accidents, and the honey was always going to find him.
Tobias WrenfieldI once left a sandwich on a train by accident, and that was my sandwich's journey.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThe bear walked through a library door and took a jar. Did the library manifest anything?
Tobias WrenfieldAbsolutely, it manifested a bear.
Tobias WrenfieldThe universe doesn't do accidents, Hank, which is why a raccoon took my own honey last spring from my own porch.
Tobias WrenfieldThat was a lesson I chose.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorA raccoon.
Tobias WrenfieldA very aligned raccoon.
Tobias WrenfieldThe universe doesn't do accidents, and it certainly didn't do my jar being left open, in the rain, with the lid in the bushes, which I now see as growth.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorSo you manifested the theft of your own honey, and the bear manifested a free snack.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorI'm trying to find who in this story is winning. Is that mug of yours empty, by the way?
Tobias WrenfieldThe mug is a choice, Hank. I stir it because the universe doesn't do accidents, and the bear is now on my waiting list.
Tobias WrenfieldHe's ahead of you.
