Mem, I KNOW you're psychic =p, that or very smart.

the thing about *psychic* moments is that they always seem more significant to the person directly involved & the stories about them usually fall flat when attempting to explain them to other people ~ I think this is at least partially because it is the unique energetic 'tuning' of the specific person that picks up on the information ~ no one is 'tuned' exactly like anyone else & what is 'obviously significant' to one person is 'run of the mill' to another ~ only you know what feels 'normal' to you & when a bunch of small, almost negligible shifts line up in such a way that a pattern can be discerned, it isn't so easy to relate that to another ~ the experience doesn't translate well ~ but I will make an attempt:

so, I'm attending a wedding in a part of the state that I've never been to before & staying in a strange hotel ~ I tuck my wallet away in a drawer (there's no safe in the hotel room) ~ I'm not that worried about it being stolen, but I figure that it is better to be 'safe than sorry' ~ later, I check out of the hotel & attend the wedding festivities at another place, at least a few miles away ~ I'm driving home after the festivities, following directions that I've printed out on the computer & all of a sudden, it occurs to me "OMG! I left my wallet in that drawer!" & simultaneously "I don't know where that hotel even is from here!" & I pull off at the very next exit to try & figure out how to navigate back to the hotel & voila! there's the hotel, right off the highway I was traveling on ~ I had taken back roads from the hotel to the wedding, so I hadn't ever accessed it from this exit ~ I ran in to the front desk, told them that I thought my wallet was in the room ~ they told me that the room had already been cleaned & no wallet found but allowed me to look for myself ~ I found my wallet right where I had left it ~ I don't think it was just a 'coincidence' that I happened to remember my wallet at just that point, when I was about to pass the exit for the hotel

I saw an aura once. A bunch of friends & I were sitting around, chatting & one of my friends said something particularly profound & new, to me ~ a bunch of things 'clicked' inside my head ~ I was able to 'connect the dots' & 'see the bigger picture' ~ I looked over at my friend & I could *see* a white light halo around his head ~ immediately, I felt nauseated ~ exactly like what it feels like when I get car sick from attempting to read in a moving car ~ that feeling of the brain & body protesting from too much input ~ I ran to the bathroom & threw up ~ I haven't seen an aura since, but I suspect I would be able if I could find a way to better integrate the additional information into my daily life, without overwhelming myself

one time, I was messing around on the computer & I'm checking out MySpace ~ I don't check my account there very often & I notice my friends list there ~ I start to think about this one woman, who I haven't spoken to in at least a year & I am compelled to write her a short note to say "hi" ~ she writes me back, almost immediately ~ I'd say within the hour, or so & I find out that a mutual friend of ours, who also lives in her apartment complex has had an unexpected heart attack & died ~ that day ~ she was very grateful that I had contacted her 'cuz she needed the phone numbers of some other mutual friends & she wasn't handling the whole event very well ~ I was able to put her in contact with another friend who was able to help her deal with the sad situation

these are pretty dramatic examples ~ most of the time it's just little things ~ subtle messages on gossamer wings ~ slight nudges in specific directions ~ when I pay attention to the *hints* & allow myself to follow the breadcrumbs ~ other people often remark, "that's perfect timing!" or "that's exactly what I was looking for" to me ~ I just smile & thank them for the compliment

love all-ways,
mem
