An Anonymous Visitor. Please Introduce Yourself.

I think that it was a Tuesday morning, not too long ago.  I wasn’t expecting it, and that is when “things” that come out of nowhere often happen.   I wonder if “they” plan it that way to catch you off guard.  Sometimes I can reach them by talking to them out loud or in my mind. Mostly, they visit unannounced.  Since they aren’t talking,  I have to guess and assume.  The visitors once lived and most of them that visit appear to me when they feel the need to do so.

I had been thinking about a family friend who exited the earth more than ten years ago.  I found myself wondering what he would look like if he were alive today.  How would he have aged?  Would I recognize him?  Would his hair still be brown?  Would his mind be clear?  I had a few more thoughts about him and his family.

A few minutes later the lighting fixture in the living room start swaying back and forth.  At first I thought that it might be an earthquake but nothing else was moving in the room.  I looked in other rooms and at other fixtures.  No, nothing else was moving.  This movement went on for a few minutes as I sat mesmerized.

The next day I saw down in the same location in the living room and stared at the fixture.  “Okay” I said silently to myself.  I was daring it to move again.  Of course, nothing happened.  Not many people appreciate being dared.
