Dizzie Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 As a child, I have the distinct memory of being able to move a pencil along a flat surface without touching it on multiple occasions. I don't really even believe my own memory, though. Who knows, maybe it was a slanted surface. Just thought I'd post this little curiosity...

Syzygy Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 I expect people are gifted in more ways than is commonly even imagined, because our perceptions of reality are conditioned from an early age. A child might learn, on one hand, “faith moves mountains” and about saints’ being canonized as an outcome of revelation while, on the other hand, he is crazy to believe himself capable of telekinesis or to hear voices as did Saint Joan of Arc. As much of such phenomena is never verified, I believe some of it intended for an individual. For example, owing to rare occurrences of nature, I have known solace in recognizing beauty during two of the saddest times of my life. 0 : - ) MGby.

Syzygy Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 There is no good time to lose someone dear. My life seemed upside down and turned inside out when a close uncle left behind a wonderful wife and children who seem like younger siblings to me. Consequently, I spent mournful hours staring blankly at my compost pile of all things. I was so blinded by grief that I didn't notice that my organic garbage and one side of the hickory tree beside it had become blanketed with butterflies--that a few weeks after one of the uncle's surviving daughters e-mailed me "Whispers," e.g. WHISPERS | The CHRISTIAN ENQUIRER One subsequent yule season my husband's any my extended families each had cause to feel less than merry. On top of it all, a chunk of neighboring forest had newly been cleared. The loss of wilderness was the bad thing, the extraordinary thing was that, due to the number of birds drawn to my feeders, our house was encircled by doves of every specie on Christmas Day. Again, "Have a Wonderfully Blessed Day!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
