I saw something in the heavens today...

Indeed I did. Let me tell you... There I was sitting in front of my computer, trying to fix up my forms, cleaning up my oracle programming... My desk was next to the window and it was still twilight outside. 7.45 or so. Suddenly I had the strangest feeling and turned to look at the sky. Nothing seemed different... but suddenly the clouds seemed to be a darkly rich blue-gry and white, with hints of pink accenting the horizon. I didn't think anything strange about that, but for some reason I couldn't look away. I felt a shiver run down my spine as something (perhaps in my mind) told me to watch. I believe the exact words were "Watch me... watch me..." I looked at the clouds intensely. Then I got an oh so familiar feeling. It doesn't happen all the time, but perhaps once a year or so, but in the recent months it has occured more frequently. Its like all time has stopped, and i was holding my breath. I saw something in the sea of clouds as they drift. There was something there and i was searching for it. I couldn't make it out, but it was there demanding my attention. The clouds started swirling, interlacing through the other... and in my eyes the sky seemed almost slightly darker... but then it stilled and the feeling vanished. Does anyone have experiences like this? Sometimes I stop in the middle of the road, look around as something calls me to watch it. And I do, trying to see. Its right in front of me but i cannot make it out. I know its there, perhaps standing right in front of me... It's like telling me there's something important happening at that point of time, at that very place i stood, there was something i could learn... Then my senses would strangely open up, hearing more than one would expect to hear, and see something in things that might've been overlooked... Sometimes I feel quite frustrated, sometimes i feel out of place where i am, stuck between two worlds, seeing only the veil of one drifting open to close again. The seen and the unseen. I'm not kidding! That's the exact feeling i get. Yet I do not understand. Feel free to place any feedback on this. I have finally come out and asked about it. I know I'm not the only one.. I think Jobriath also has experiences like these. I feel strange asking people in the forum (i hardly know ;) though you are all wonderful) their opinion on this.. you must all think me crazy.

I get that all the time. I love that feeling. I think it's just signalling you're getting more 'in tune' with yourself. I think for me it's a past life thing. Only not exactly on human terms. (I'm one of those people who insists upon some spiritual connection to the dragons.) sort of gives me a bit of a sensation of flying. Enjoy it. it's a wonderful thing; to watch the clouds, the blowing leaves, and the way a tree moves in the wind. You're seeing things other's usually don't.

this happens all the time to me :) it is like an awakening to the oneness of all things. a feeling of connectedness with the universe. an openess. when you allow yourself to become frustrated, you begin closing the door. just allow it to be, with no expectations. enjoy!

It is usually 11 minutes after the hour.......What I hate about this "feeling"is that usually my phone will ring,or there is a distraction that happens before I get the "answer." The saying," If it were a snake,it would have bit me," kinda thing..........Good luck, hope you find the answers you are looking for......or,in my case,I think they are better left unspoken....Some fear what they do not understand,so they are quick to label it as crazy coincidences..
