that leaf left his family

I recall my son's younger days, when a walk by a tree's falling leaves in the autumn drew the empathic remark, "Ohhh. Look. That leaf left his family."

Such connection with the natural world.

I remember showing him the water crystals work of Dr Masuro Emoto (the effects of words and intentions on water) which drew a remarkably different response from adults than from him.


Adults logical comments were:
--has this experiment been successfully replicated?
--interesting implications if humans are 70% water
--how did he take pictures of water crystals?
--is this true of snow flakes? etc.

My son's response:
--"I feel sorry for that water."
--"Why would someone write hate?"
--"Of course the water would not like it."

I look for proof. My son knows.


Several stories about the nature of highly intuitive children are captured in Doreen Virtue's book, Crystal Children. I met Doreen and we spoke of my son and I sent her a few stories that she included in the book. In fact, my mom heard her speak once and she told a couple of my son's stories.

Motto: Notice children notice simple truths.

now reactions are more subtle

Was hanging around with someone who did a little freak out. Got all blue. Dunno why.

Old Me would have responded intensely:

• What's wrong? Are you okay?
• What'd I do? Did I do something?
• What can I do? How can I fix it?
• What does this mean? Is this a sign?
• I hope everything's okay.
• What should I do?
• Feel better?!
• Etc....for minutes, hours, days...

Now Me did subtly:

• Let's walk.
• Sit?
• Ahhh. Pretty lake.
• I'm here.

It passed. All that was needed.

New day.

would you watch?

The recent incident of the man who was struck by a car and others watched without helping him is sparking much discussion about our culture's willingness to help others.

We all want to believe we'd help someone in need. But do we do actually do it when the opportunity arises? Or do we hesitate? Do we watch? Are we afraid of making things worse? Are we waiting for someone else to do it?

1) What would you want done if that was you or your father or child?
2) What will you do this week to actively engage in helping someone else...in a little or big way?

Don't just spectate. Participate.

the bar? okay, if you say so.

Driving to a party to see friends from college. Really looking forward to getting there and capturing up. On the way, I feel drawn to grab a drink at bar/restaurant. Odd, I don’t ever just go grab a drink. And I want to get to the party. Must be one of those signs and I should go. “The bar? Okay, if you say so.” I talk to myself a lot. My Higher Self, but to others, I’m simply mad. Ha. So I sit at the bar. Have a great bourbon and coke. Not really sure why I’m there but open to the possibilities. Worst that happens is I get a drink and go. No big deal.

Lady next to me strikes up a conversation. We talk about eating crabs, which I love. It’s winter, and it would be fun to go to Captain Pells Crabhouse soon. Her boyfriend is here and speaks of his kids. Ahh. This is why. I fill with warmth and say, “Your kids really love you.” Not sure why. But knew it was right. He looked at me in disbelief and became overwhelmed with emotion. Excused himself and regained composure. Came back and said, “Who are you. I really needed to hear that. Thank you so much for touching me that way.” I smiled. It’s great being psychic. I don’t know what’s going on in that man’s life. Nor do I want to because it’s none of my business. But just driving by, spirit knew I could be of service in just that moment in such a simple way. Lovely.

Oh, and the drinks that night were all on the house. Cute bartender. Or the Universe thanking me. Either way, appreciated. Off to the party.
