ok whatever. it doesn't have to be from another world. what i mean are forces that are here that we can't see.

Otherworldly?

whenever people say that things are just coincidence i often ask myself, "yeah but the chances of that particular coincidence are smaller than the chances of something being 'otherwordly"", you know?

oh that's so cool, diane! i've had many moments like that, and you're so right. it's about being open to the answer. sometimes i've heard an internal voice so loud while i'm asking the question only to wonder why i'm not paying attention to the voice! other times i get little signs from things like songs or things people say...or even something on tv. but there is always an answer out there. i think the only times we don't hear it is when we doubt that it's there!

I have a friend who says, "People pray to God and then don't even recognize his voice when he answers." I'm a true believer that if you pose a question to the Universe/God, you will receive an answer. About two years ago I was trying to decide whether or not to move back to my home town after retirement. So, as I left work one day, I said outloud, "Okay, Universe, do I move back to Cushing?" Five minutes later when I reached the Interstate the south bound lanes to Ardmore (where I lived at the time) were backed up and traffic had stopped. The north bound lanes to Cushing were moving freely. I got in the south bound lane and inched my way down the road, while I told myself that that could be an answer. Then for giggles I decided to turn the radio on and take the first thing I heard as confirmation to the answer. The very first thing on the radio was a political ad, "Vote Yes," was all I heard. And so, the decision was made that moment and synchronicity was engaged. The perfect house at the perfect price became available in Cushing in addition to a plethora of other little things that fell into place.

oh wow! that is such a beautiful story!!! than you for sharing that, jodie. i love it. you know what? my niece's husband was swimming out far at sea alone and had a similar experience. he was caught in a current and began to drown. he was an excellent swimmer, but he knew he was a gonner. he started to surrender to it. and suddenly he felt a presence lift him out and into a safer area where he could float awhile and catch his breath and then get to shore. he swears he felt a presence there and that he was literally lifted out by hands.

Appox. 12 yrs ago ,I was vacationing on Oahu...swam and snorkled most afternoons. On one such day, my S.O.P. drove us to an undesignated,secluded beach. I was in awe at it's beauty and even more "turned on" by the awesome sounds of waves crashing off the nearby boulders. I was feeling really alive and without a care and I literally bounded into that turbulent water and swam a slight distance when, suddenly, I was overcome by a wall of water and my body was tossed about like a salad spinner.....total space/directional disorientation.......did not know up from down......I could not fight it's power, so I went with it, so to say. Quite soon, I sensed the intense need for AIR/oxygen.......that's when I saw it. Quite clearly, a hand with it's arm outstretched to me..........unexplainably, the water relaxed it's hold on me and so I semi-swam towards that still-visible hand............and ,in the next instant, I had resurfaced ! Sure, I was choking, but air was also mine now. I twisted around and saw my S.O.P. laid out on the warm sand, apparently sleeping.....unawares. I easily tread-swam back to the waiting shallows of the sandy shore, still dazed and amazed by it all. I never did tell my boyfriend , other than to explain that I was" choking on some water....I'm fine."

I'll share the spirit stories soon, promise. I'll blog about them tomorrow if I have time.

this is a pretty incredible story, barry. i mean just think ...faeries. little people with wings that are among us ...busy. that's pretty wild. i love the possibility of that. i sure would like to see one too. when i saw that movie in i spoke of earlier ...i wish i knew the name of it. all i can remember is the theosophists....something about the faeries in there rang true. horton hears a who rings true. little worlds among us rings true. there is so much to this world that we don't know about. are you going to tell us your spirit stories, barry?
