"I believe there are angels among us"

Made a lot of memories today with the wonderful Skylar Nelson. (And enjoyed the time that I spent with the amazing Marisa Folsom). There's so many things that happened today. I'm going to speak it in my code first because this is mine and Skylar's way of communicating. We first went to Saturn then we headed off to Jupiter. After Jupiter we went to our usual spot, The Moon. We had a great time talking about things. Then went to Pluto, and eventually ended up at Venus. We dug out my old child books. Read some of my Dr.Seuss books, and I even tried rapping some of them (realizing I'm way too white for that). We even lost to the 20 questions ball a few times before picking the word "Penis" and winning after laughing at very perverted things like "Do you hold it when you use it?" or "Does it taste good?" At wal-mart, I found sweetleaf again. (MY ALL TIME FAVORITE TEA, google it if you don't know it.) Had fun at the park.


BUT OF ALL THOSE MEMORIES I MENTIONED ABOVE, NOTHING...I REPEAT: NOTHING WILL BE BURNED INTO MY MEMORY THE WAY WHAT HAPPENED ON THE WAY HOME WILL BE.

I didn't want to sound crazy. And I'm not going to put in this blog what I talked about with Skylar, but it was deep. It's something almost impossible to believe, but I'm so glad she knew where I was and exactly what I meant when I was struggling to get the memory out of my head and into words just right. It's something I've needed to do for a while, and I'm glad she was there to relate to it.
In the middle of this deep conversation right at the last turn before her house this shooting star appeared from the sky, but as soon as it showed up it disappeared agian...not to the ground, but back, tucked safely out of Earth's atmosphere, to the Heavens. I almost didn't believe what I saw because we just got done watching Charlie St. Cloud. "No, no no!" I thought but outloud it was "WOOOOAHHH!!!!! DID YOU SEE THAT?!?!" I wasn't just seeing things. She saw it too. It had the most perfect timing that could have been expected. (If you knew what we were talking about right then, you'd understand, but that's personal). We didn't even say to each other. This was the conversation
Skylar: I...er...I almost....I think...I
Me: No...I know exactly what you're thinking.


It keeps replaying over and over in my head. Like a dream. But that would mean it'd be a dream both Skylar and I had while awake. Because I can't say it any better myself, I'm going to quote Skylar. "goes to show you the shooting star was a friend tellng us we're in this together and with perfect timing." I can't tell you the way I feel inside. How much more aware and alive I felt finishing my drive home. I'm sure the only other person who could possibly feel the way my heart feels is the person who shared that image with me. Skylar.



It just leaves me saying: I know we have a guardian angel. I know we do. Without a question in my mind. And tonight....tonight I'm going to tell God I'm listening and feeling with my soul instead of my body for what may be the first time in my life.
