STRANGERS
Tuesday 25 September 2007

   Often women, men, children tell me that they like my feathered hat.
    The straw hat has two ostridge feathers, one dyed red, and the other dyed blue cemented to the left side of my hat. And there are several Rhea feathers also.
    At times from the window of a moving car, a woman will say to me that she likes my hat. And small children often smile. And some will come up to me and tell me my hat is cool. Teenagers like my feathered hat, and so do many men who throw me a compliment as they go bye.
    A man approached me the other day at the Shopping Centre while I was having a meal. He told me of many things in his life. And how he volunteers at the local mental health centre to help people in need. And also how he chastises people that are not behaving on the city streets. A woman approached us with a challenged person in tow. Seems both she and the man are volunteers to help in a local mental health centre.
    Another time I stuck up a conversation with a woman who looks after as many as 20 female teenagers living in a group home. The woman appears young too, but educated, and comfortable as a role model. Those teenagers are fortunate to have her as a role model.
    While walking on my way home a conversation with a woman outside a store where she worked resulted in a spiritual healing. She told me about a back pain. I asked if I could help and she perceived right away that I was a healer. Her left hand held my left hand, and my right hand moved an inch or so away from her back, down her back, till my hand stopped. I had prayed first. And then my hand moved against her back. I sensed the energy and heat manifesting as did she. And it got really hot. When guidance has me remove my hands, she commented she felt slightly dizzy. And she mentioned that her back was much better. Sometimes in churches people who receive healing are slayed in the spirit. That is they faint. However I do not allow this to happen when I ask for healing for others.
    Later I struck up a conversation with a man and lady eating in a restaurant and sitting right next to the sidewalk. They are from Detroit, Michigan, and visiting in Canada. I suggested that they visit the Lift Lock where boats are raised and lowered 60 feet enroute on the canal from the Ocean to the Great Lakes. As a result they plan to visit the Lift Lock before they travel home via Toronto.
    As I approached a drug store, the door on a van opened and three children greeted me with smiles and conversation. I did not recognize them. But of course they recognized this grand father type who obviously had made a good impression on them in the past.
    I find it interesting to see the reactions to people to who I give my advertisement on my new book MY MAGIC SOUL - My Supernatural Adventures. One man read the brochure, and then put it into his pocket. People tell me the book looks interesting. But it will be another week or two before I have copies with me ready to sell to those who might be interested.
    The other day a disturbed female personality sat next to me while I was eating chilli at the local Farmers Market. She has a very quick mind and fast verbal responses. She has had a very troubled life and is coping the best she can. She has a hair trigger and I suspect this can and has caused her problems in confrontations with other people. At one time she broke into tears because of a painful memory. And another time she was at risk as she threw verbal comments at a retreating police officer. She declined any spiritual healing which she sorely needed.
    I have some real problems with the belief systems of the Jehova Witnesses. At one time while reading one of their articles about the Holy Bible, GOD spoke to me in thought and said: "They contort the words of the Holy Bible." Contort means to twist violently out of place. I mentioned the other day to a JW friend (I am NOT JW) that there was a fantastic documentary on TV about the JW and how the Charter of Rights and Freedoms likely came into existence because of the JW legal fights for religion and publishing. Their legal fight resulted in law for all. Well done! But I still have problems with the JW dogma and doctrines. But to each their own.
    Some women, and some men, at times will hold open a door for me to pass through. I can do it myself, but I do thank them. Seems that is the way they were raised to respect elders. I really do not feel old as I can relate to people of all ages. For example, a student in grade 11 came out of a restaurant to introduce herself to me. She reminded me that about a year ago I had given her some of my FREE HUG COUPONS. Shortly thereafter she came out with one of those coupons, plus 2 of her female friends. And we had nice conversation before it was time for them to return to school. They were on lunch break.
    At times I will give out those FREE HUG COUPONS  (FHC) to female students, and I remind them that not all fellows are gentlemen, so be careful. They enjoy the coupons and keep them. But from time to time I have adults give back the coupons to me. I think that perhaps with some at one time in their life a hug went out of control? The coupons require a co-operating human being.  You know, get permission first.
    Sometimes I will say to a lady approaching me on the street: "Do you accept compliments?" At times I catch them unawares with the question and I need to repeat it. Most often they say yes they do accept compliments. And I give them a real honest positive compliment and make their day. Some would call that a random act of kindness. And at times such a positive compliment is just what the other person needed at that moment in time.
    The other day in a doctor's waiting room as people would walk bye, I might say "Good morning." And they would most often return the greeting. And then I might ask "Do you remember me?" And often they would stop and look at me and try to remember. And then I would tell them why they do not remember. "We are meeting for the first time." The reaction is most often a smile and laughter and they continue on their way.
    At times my joyful laughter is loud. And at times I have found other people drawn to me to experience the positive energy. One woman commented she was drawn to me. And that there are too few people with such positive laughter. Whenever I know healing is taking place, I break out in joyful laughter. Maybe in ordinary conversation healing takes place too, and if so, that might help explain my laugher at that time?
    At times I might say to a stranger that I am conducting a survey. And that I would like to ask them one question. Then I say "Do you think I need therapy to overcome my shyness?" I say that with a straight face, and wait for their reaction. They find it very hard to keep a straight face and not smile and laugh. And usually tell me that I am doing just fine. One quick witted woman replied that my therapist did an excellent job on me! (GOD is my therapist.)
    One day I was sitting on my chair on the sidewalk outside my home. And I saw a woman running along the curb from my left. She stopped, leaned over, gave me a nice hug, and continued running away to my right. I guess you could call that a hit and run hug!
    Later today I plan to take some photos of me, and one will be used in the back cover of the book. The artwork is ready, but just need a proper photo.
    Peace, love, light, healing, hugs, prosperity to you and your loved ones.
