Today was an example of an ‘unforeseen kiss’ from God…unexpected, in your face but surprisingly gentle and warm.
*sigh*
As I made the most of soaking in the rays and gearing up for the last stretch of this desert walk a few observations were revealed behind God’s curtain of ethereal mystery. Sitting in the front seat of my Tahoe, listening to John Mayer’s husky, rhythmic vocals to ‘Gravity’ I watched my son with his baseball teammates do what they always do in a practice when it happened. I became suspended in a place between my life in this world and a having a gift to see each child, each parent sitting in the stands, or milling about the baseball field in their complete form, in body and spirit. I have no other way to try to put this into words except to say that I could feel their presence, they weren’t just part of the backdrop of the day, there were present. It was seeing their existence in the world and they space they took up possibly as God would see each one of us, not as an insignificant object on a painter’s masterpiece but each one of us as the focus, the purpose for the painting.
The muscles in my cheek tightened and I could taste the tears before they began to pool in the corner of my eye…then the moment passed. I blinked before a drop could fall and I saw the action before me in flat motion plan, incorporated…normal. The clock showed 2:22.
For those of you who don’t know my story on seeing consistent numbers on a clock, I apologize but it’s a bit too long to write in this piece but maybe one day I will have to do that to fill you in. The short of it is most often than not if I happen to look at the time it is a consistent number: 10:10, 11:11, 12:12, 1:11, 2:22…etc etc even the: 2:34 or 12:34 Never fails, if the clock can show it, that is what I see. And I learned in a very neat way, in a very important time in my life that this was a sign from my guardian angel and the legion of angels that guard us daily…it is their way of saying, “Hey we are here.” So, when I see this ‘sign’ I say, “Thank You, God.”
Think what you want…I have too many ‘coincidences’ with this story to count.
🙂
I don’t know what it is God wanted me to learn from that brief moment but I do know I came out of it with a tender heart towards man kind.
