Personally, I'm more inspired by the questions than the answers. I don't know why some things happen, but I'm sure they do, and I'm sure all sorts of people will keep trying to find explanations. I think it probably comes down to butterfly wings. Things too small for us to notice can add up to something that looks like magic.

I used to love the TV show "Touch". At least for most of the first season, until it fell into the trap many shows do of sacrificing the small, interesting, but not-so-important things in favor of the usual plot of having some ultra bad guy or bad guy organization trying to do away with the main character. It went from being something really special to being another dumb show. But it HAD been all about the connections, and about a kid who could see them.
