A Deer Story

[Geoff]

My dear brothers and sisters,

I am in England at present, enjoying a wonderful time with Kate. Today, as often, we went for a walk, starting from a pub built in the 1600's. This was in the village of Hambledon, in Hampshire. The walk was set out in a book, and was about five miles.

About a third of the way we found the directions very confusing. We were in a huge field, which had been harvested, and thus it was very open. It was about a mile wide and a half mile deep. We were looking for a turnstile, which was supposed to be in the far left corner, and had already discovered the directions were wrong. I did ask my angels if we were going the right way, and I thought it was ok, and Kate was being fairly directive, as we made our way alongside a hedge.

Suddenly, and totally by surprise, a deer came out of the hedge. Since the hedge was very narrow, and right in the middle of this huge field, it was very strange. It simply did not look like a smart place for a deer to be. It was about 150 yards ahead of us, and stopped and looked at us for about four minutes. Then, very controlled, it skipped across the field, circling us at a distance of about four hundred yards, until it headed back up the length of the field, in full view.

Given that deer are shy, and not often seen in daylight, never mind in the middle of a cleared meadow, and that it did not simply take the short cut to the nearest woodland, we were very puzzled. Till we figured that it was showing us the way. And so it was. It took an act of faith to turn around and walk the length of the field back the way we had come, till we found the turnstile.

Much love,
Geoff.

Dear Brother Geoff,

This is a deer-light-ful story. :p It has a more positive ending than if you had ignored your (refering to plural you) feelings, urge, to follow the deer.

Your story is just another reminder of those that are all around us and that many people relate even though they don't always percieve the source of their helpful communications as most of us here on the board would.

It reminds me of what my daughter experienced last week. She had a very low, nearly flat, tire she noticed as she got ready to drive home from work that gave her a scare because she didn't know how much air to put in the tire, if it would go flat before she got home, where she could find an air pump and assistance, etc...

Well, after several attempts to find a station with an air pump (not so easy to do in the U.S. anymore! Service stations are not what they used to be, here, in my geo area.) she got enough air in the tire to drive safely on it. She dropped by my place to "commiserate" ;) and recieve some "parental "sympathy/encouragement" and advice on how to handle situations like this in case it happened to her again. She left her purse and cell phone at my house when she left, which contained all of her ID and credit cards she would need in the morning to get the tire repaired! She was definitely having a "one of those days".

I got a phone call when she arrived home and realized that she'd left her purse at my house. She said to me, "You know, this is what I get for not listening!" (in a humorous manner) Last Saturday while I was just lounging around the house with time on my hands for a change, something told me I should go and get the new tires I'd been planning to get for a while. Or at least have the tires checked out. But, I blew it off and watched TV instead!"

So, our angels are truly with us all and do try to smooth out the little frustrations of mortal existence as well as "speak" to us about more spiritual matters and/or about more dangerous situations we may be about to encounter.

The moral of this common type of story is, I guess, that we should listen to our "intuition" because often it may be that our angels are "adding" their guidance/advice to this natural human attribute we sometimes call our "sixth sense" in order to help us make choices/take actions in our lives so that they become more harmonious and less stressful.

love, alyn
