I'm
Rich Beyond My Wildest Dreams.
I am. I am. I am.
(Continued)
Out
of nowhere a hawk soared down from the heavens, circled twice above
our heads and landed right next to me.
No
one said anything for the longest time. It was more than strange
and the coincidence was unsettling to say the least. This hawk was
within maybe ten feet of me. Way out of character. Hawks are very
careful to keep a good distance from possible danger. I grew up
on a farm and I have never seen a hawk land on the ground let alone
within a few feet of a human. Yet, I could almost reach out and
touch this one.
Finally,
Lisa announced what everyone was thinking. "Well, Tom, it looks
like God has a message for you."
I
shook my head and negated the whole weird scene with some inane
joke. The hawk stayed a while longer before taking off and disappearing
back into the heavens. I was quick to make sure everyone knew I
didn't really believe in superstition.
Then,
Bob said, "One man's superstition is another man's insight."
We all laughed and Lisa added, "Good thing it was only one
hawk. The Indians also believed that if the hawk brought his mate
to meet you, that meant the message from God was very important."
These
words had no sooner left my friend's mouth when our friendly hawk
reappeared from above, circled and landed again next to me, this
time with his mate.
OK,
to this day I still do not know what to make of all this. I do not
believe in superstition, yet two incredible coincidences are equally
hard to swallow. Maybe it was pure coincidence. Maybe, it was God's
way of getting my attention. I do not know. But whatever the source
of this remarkable play of nature, it did get my attention. And
it did set the scene for a meeting that night that would eventually
change my life forever.
