Oh. My. God.
I found my emerald ring. On Friday the thirteenth. In a place I'd checked a thousand times before.
Can't tell you how much that means to me, particularly this morning when I've been sitting here since 5am playing whack-a-mole with accounts payable, and despairing.
So yeah, yeah, yeah, the universe is soulless and indifferent, a big empty tessellation that only in the moment by moment manages to pull off defying that Second Law of Thermodynamics. Meaning is a delusion. Everything floats.
But finding that ring had meaning for me.

congratulations on the odd reappearance of your ring!

I once found a stone that fell out of roommate's ring by lying on the kitchen floor with my cheek resting on the lino. I was able to catch the reflection of it amidst the dust bunnies.
