the missionary on the pier thanked me today
she said she had asked God last night for guidance regarding work, having recently lost her job doing reception at a hair salon.
(she did have unusually nice hair)
during our conversation I mentioned that i had worked with dogs last year
hiking them through the old growth forest in North Vancouver.
she saw this as a sign
this morning she heard God say:
go to Horseshoe Bay
and when she arrived I was there to deliver his message
BE A DOG WALKER!
Well, my work is done here thank you very much.
early this morning i was lying in bed unable to get back to sleep
suddenly i noticed the air around my face go cold
i wondered if a ghost was hovering above me trying to get a message to me or something wonderful like that
i thought i could see the shadows on the wall shift
the air grew colder
i was surprisingly calm (we are supposed to be afraid non?)
i must have fallen back to sleep soon after
and was woken by the dogs bark,
there was a raccoon in the cedar out front
when i went for my walk today
everything seemed so clear to me
i was noticing small things
tiny stones
the lighthouse shaped belly flap of a male crab
lying on the ramp
the tip of a tiny white feather...hey, this was stuck in a bird body
a bright orange sunflower fish
how ridiculous how unreal
i leaned over the railing and absorbed the clear water and all its treasure into my eyes completely forgetting the dog
when i did turn around Bella was quietly waiting behind me
how long have i been standing here?
i am blessed i am blessed i am blessed
