It was the same for me as for you with the young wandering monk. Partly I found his way of talking and knowledge a bit too bold. I also had to smile about so much conviction. Nevertheless, as you also noticed, he had some very important things to say. If spaces of experience do not overlap, we are inclined to reject advice rather. Someone who doesn't have the same experience is, in our eyes, less likely to give us such advice. However, I would be interested in how, for example, younger people and also men - and not mothers like us at a somewhat more mature age - evaluate such an interview.

However, I think your way of experiencing synchronicity already has a Buddhist touch when you consider that Buddhism calls you to be mindful and attentive in your everyday life. You are actively searching for the answers, and you are also consciously looking for encounters that will take you further in your experience. With how you sharpen your perception and how you think and write about it, you are also a role model for others. Because this happens neither in an arrogant nor in a better knowing way, but in a sensitive and profound fashion.

We can see ourselves as many world movers who all have the same goal: to wish each other the best, to give and receive love.

Personally, I would definitely prefer to talk to an older monk or the abbot himself. ;-)
