Occasionally, seemingly strange phenomena can occur during our waking life. I wonder, Tony, if there is any spiritual or insightful value surrounding these events since they occur outside the influence of our minds?
There is a picturesque road canopied by trees and running along a brook that I prefer taking in to town over the highway. A couple days ago I was coming around a curve and noticed a creature in the road-so, I stopped. It turned its head toward me and immediately I realized it was an owl. I wasn't sure if it was injured or what. I considered getting out of the car to check on it, but as soon as I reached for the handle the owl turned and ascended into the trees. I don't know of anything that flies more gracefully. It seemed that just four or five flaps was all the owl needed to get away. I remember learning that they are known for their ability to fly stealthily. I would like to think that I fly like an owl in my dreams. Something else I might add is that the I don't remember ever seeing a live owl before, even though I've lived my whole life in rural Tennessee.
