I Wonder as I Wander

Filed under: Uncategorized

What the end will be. Even as I already know, I wonder about the stuff in between here and there. Have you ever been on the virge of a breakthrough and gotten stuck in the holding position? That’s about how I feel. I don’t know what’s next, but I just hold on for the ride in hopes that the bumps don’t hurt too much.

On another note, my family and friends are about to converge on my town for my graduation. And somehow, I made the mistake of thinking it was all about me. What was I thinking? The family member planning my reception (and I do appreciate that) has ordered her favorite cake and her husband’s. I just went ahead and ordered my own from a friend. In all fairness, I was asked what I would like after the fact, but you know, the menu was already planned. Not a bad menu. A little bourgeouis, but that’s my fam all the way. Overall, I look forward to an enjoyable time and then I get to head off on my own little personal safari to Africa. I’m looking forward to chilling on the beach in the motherland. I can’t wait to meet new friends, and somehow, this trip seems like a pivotal point in determining my future. I don’t know how or why, but I know that it’s significant. Guess I’ll let you know how when I return.

I guess that’s enough for now. I’ve got a gazillionn things to do before my mom gets in tomorrow night. Guess I should hop to them. Take care and I’ll try to come up with something witty soon.

Remembering My Spirit

Filed under: Uncategorized

Recently, I had a premonition that a friend of mine is about to meet the love of his life. I’m almost certain and am just shy of being able to give a time frame. Should I tell him, or does this all just sound too strange? Would it freak you out if someone told you something like that? I sometimes scare people when I start talking about their futures or future events that I’ve seen. I was a peculiar child like that and learned to keep most of my thoughts to myself. I care very little what people think now, but I often don’t care enough to share what I’ve seen or felt. What would you prefer?

Most people live with a disconnect between their spiritual and material lives. For me, they function on parallel planes, so intuition allows an acceptance of different ways of knowing and understanding. Not in some mystical way but just as a fact of life. Like my grandmother sometimes talks to me in my dreams, and I remember communicating with my comatose aunt before she died even though we were miles apart.

I think it’s possible for spirits to connect and communicate between people without a word ever being passed. Like, even if you don’t know someone intimately, your spirits can agree. You know, like spirits attract.

This is all starting to sound a bit hocus pokus I’m sure, but how open are you to other ways of understanding the world that God has created for us?
