Acquaintance's Vision
Jun. 14th, 2008 10:06 pmThis evening I finally had the "Gratitude Potluck," inspired by the Wealth Magic class which
teriel and
dragonscholar gave at Pantheacon. Only two of the four who had RSVP'd actually showed up, but it was still a lovely evening.
At one point during the after-dinner conversation I ended up talking about how I felt that if I had recognized my spiritual vocation when I was younger I might have started too early, before I had the life experience and wisdom and breadth of spiritual experiences to be truly ready. I much prefer to think that I had to grow into my vocation rather than think that I wasted the last twenty years.
When I was done with my mini soliloquy I got up to get a drink, and when I came back one of the women was kind of shaking her head. "I have to tell you. . . when you were talking just now, I saw this man standing behind you with a wolf's head and skin over his head and shoulders. It was so vivid, and his energy was so powerful I almost couldn't hear what you were saying. Do you have any idea who that was?"
It was a moment or two before I could speak. "That was LM," I finally said.
This woman had never met him, and we're not close friends, so she had no idea that he had a close connection with wolves.
The funny thing is that I had been aware all day of not having been able to feel his presence as much as I sometimes can. To have her see him like that, and so vividly -- and she also described his energy in almost the same terms I would have -- was a wonderful gift.
