My intention for this entry is so I can remember the experience.
Last night, in the midst of my hustle and bustle, I was rerouted by a power much greater than myself...
I was heading up Simcoe St. towards Taunton Rd around 6:00pm when I noticed large crowds lining up on the sides of the street. It took a few more blocks of driving before I clued in. It was the Olympic Torch coming to town... What was so significant was the fact that I really had no reason to drive north on Simcoe. So I feel like I was suppose to witness this wondrous human phenomenon. It consisted of a long parade of sponsorship vehicles (like Coke and what not), buses, and police. As I drove alongside of the parade I was able to capture all the excitement as traffic was slow. Next thing I know I see the bright torch light in the night. Our paths crossed quite literally.
Heavy.

a shooting star/as real as it gets...
Wednesday, December 9, 2009
This must be captured. And so it is.
I captured and embraced a shooting star today! How often do you get to hear or share that?
It landed this morning at 8:30am in the Oshawa General Hospital. I was told there were many witnesses. And those who saw, felt and grasped the experience also noticed the world lighten and grow.
When I found out about the landing, it was both overwhelming and relieving to know there was a brand new spirit joining us on this journey called life. And since the guiders of this miracle are so close to my life, I felt a barrage of mixed feelings. What was astonishing was the gravitational pull this wild wonder had over me. I was able to bypass all my own emotions and current personal chaos as soon as I laid eyes on her. In fact, I met Zoey Anne Kathleen Paterson and her mother, Carri Carlyle, with a childlike giggle followed by relief and a reminder of how REAL life is. Seeing this star was as REAL as it gets.
The following moments were so profound, that as I write, I can vividly recall each moment I spent in the presence of those two wonderful spirits. I can remember the footsteps and each word said. It was not long before a brand new life was in my arms. Only the moment was reciprocated between us. Like a bolt of lightning combined with a past caress from my own mother. I was refreshed. Either a spell was lifted or cast; I would like to believe both.
I spoke the deepest prayers I could find within in order to give all I could at that very moment. It was a feeling of honour and delight to be there.
I was off to find the father, Sean Paterson. He was to be found at Teddy’s Eatery with his two fathers. And I can still feel the embrace we shared.
I was to return later in the evening for a follow up visit. I could not get enough of this new life.
And to think how often this occurs.
A day in the life of life.
