Illuminated
Signs.
You know I love them.
You know I believe in them
& you know I listen, I follow where they lead.
Signs are everywhere.
Every. Where.
& if I simply seek, I will most definitely find.
Well.
Since you know all this because I’ve told you a million times, sit back, grab yourself a nice cup of coffee and get ready, my friends, because I have quite a sign story for you today.
But first, you must hear about my farewell letter.
My goodbye cruel world.
My I’M LEAVING !!
Social media, that is.
Facebook.
Twitter.
Instagram.
Yahoo
You name it, it’s on the list.
The whole darn internet thing.
It’s something I think about every now and again.
I’ll disappear.
No one will notice.
No one will care.
Yep
& sometimes the JUST LEAVE ALREADY mantra picks at my brain.
For days and days.
Sometimes, it’s visit is very brief.
But, the leave leave leave hum is almost always there.
I know.
I’m a freak.
So, I wrote a letter
& I keep it around for the day that may or may not happen.
The day I jump off the train and go back to my good ol notebook and snail mail.
ahhhh
Peaceful.
Quiet.
So the other morning, maybe about a week ago, I’m kinda sorta feeling that feeling.
Not a bad mood.
Not a good mood.
Just, eh ….
& I’m thinking … yes … TODAY is going to be the day.
My. Departure. Day.
& so, I do what I normally do when this mind of mine gets too much noise happening upstairs.
I stand at my back door, look towards the sky and my awesome big, bald tree
& I talk to Jesus.
This particular morning though, I was on a rant
& my BFF was hearing all the waaaa details.
But this go around was different because I’d walk to that back door, talk and stare and do my thing
& then I’d sit down again and write.
Get up
Gripe
Sit down
Write
Get up
Woe is me
Sit down
Write
Until, finally, I just decided to stand at that back door
& ask the question that had been shouting from my heart.
WHAT DO I DO NEXT, my Jesus ??
PLEASE tell me what to do next because I don’t have a clue.
I didn’t realize that hawk was sitting on my tree.
All those back and forths and I hadn’t even noticed but all of a sudden, there he was
& the way the sky was colored at that hour of the morning ?!?
I swear to you that beautiful bird glowed in the dark.
An illuminated hawk is what I saw
& that majestic creature stepped off the fragile branch he was perched upon and he soared into the morning sky.
Illuminated.
He soured.
& WOW
It was breathtaking.
& WOW
I got me a sign.
What do I do next ?
Delete that farewell letter, for starters.
For. Sure.
🙂
