Anyways - make a long story short - I began thinking about my childhood again. Something must have happened that was very meaningful to me at the time, otherwise why I am being drawn back...? I haven't thought about it for a long time indeed. So that is one thing...
Then we passed a tiny, and ancient, burial ground. It is all fenced off. I suddenly had this massive desire to go in it and the largest tombstone seemed to be drawing me in. But I had my dogs, and so I thought it would not be right to bring them in there. Disrespectful, like.
As I passed the cemetary, staring at that big tombstone that was calling me, I thought of my deceased parents, and also about my husband, who is alive but has a dangerous job. Just as I did so, a hearse turned the corner off of this desolate country road I was walking on, and drove slowly past us, and the graveyard, headed to town. It seemed to be moving extra slowly...and it was odd, very odd, to see a hearse in the middle of freaking nowhere! This road is not used very much at all, and usually only by commercial long-haul trucks...
I think the timing of it all kind of threw me for a loop - and I became immediately aware of "serendipity and synchronicity", the title given to Labradorite's main properties. Gave me shivers...I am not afraid of death, nor do I find it creepy, but the timing was odd, and it all felt "staged" - almost like a dream sequence, or a scene in a movie.
I have not had my Labradorite very long but I fell in love with it immediately. I have noticed that I too have tended to have long since thought about childhood memories whenever this crystal is present. Sometimes painful things, sometimes just things odd or that I haven't thought of for a long time. It did occur to me though when these things came to mind, it was like I was watching as a "detached observer" whatever was unfolding from my memory. I was very grateful for this, especially for the painful memories, as in the past if something like it had come to mind I would probably become emotionally upset and/or become "obsessive" in my thoughts about it, like not being able to let go of the pain/rage or whatever emotion it was. Being the "detached observer" was a relief and was sort of like a gentle cleansing of odd bits of things that were taking up my memory space. Maybe like "defragging" the computer disk. I have also noticed that if I have this stone out too long (or maybe it is in combination with other stones...I haven't figured that one out yet) I get a very loud, distracting, almost painful buzzing in my head like I am near a high voltage wire, that goes away very quickly if I put the stone away.
