“Hey, dad, let’s take a picture.” ....
“Hey, dad, let’s take a picture.” ....
said my son. I stood there for a moment. My first thought was bro we lost, no pictures. Then the last blog hit me. I looked around. We were around many souls with many emotions on their faces. Some joy, some anger, some were sad. Others looked confused, then I noticed a few little things. I saw my son’s pain in his soul. I saw he was worried that I would say bro we lost. The thing is, I didn’t lose anything at all. However, I could be a dad just by saying, yeah, let’s take the picture. Which we did as quick as the thoughts hit our heads. It was a great answer, my friend was with us. I think he was shocked I said yes, let’s do this.
With that we took pictures, some with my son, Andre. Then others with him, my guy and baby Blair bear. I could feel the energy in the air change around us. Doing so, I looked towards the night sky, on the field, through the small groups of people in the crowd around our group. I was smiling, just being thankful that we are here. On a field, on a Friday night, enjoying the night. Win or lose, really, I will miss this. Looking across the new field, man it looks great. Then another feeling hit me. Hey, this is the beginning of a new chapter in your life, really your family’s too.
Yet beyond the fields is what allowed me to grow. It is an open area field that’s green, the energy is love. Where people’s souls can walk, play baseball, have cook-outs, watch soccer games, enjoy playgrounds and softball fields. Just a beautiful area in our town to enjoy life with others or one’s self. In the mix, is the cemetery that has become such a big part of us. It is exciting in so many ways. Thing is, is it real? Do I really feel the things we do as we walk there and speak with others? We speak to all life and our father. So many cool things have happened out there, also it is always a story of passion, heart, and soul only to be told we are many things but right. That is cool, though, growth comes from rejection and failure.
The following morning, early Saturday, I woke up to what felt like a tap on my forehead. Getting out of bed, it is what it is. Lots of things happen around us, so it is okay. Making our way through our home, I could feel the area calling us to come do what we do. Next thing I knew, we were making our way to the main road in town to head that way. We stopped to take a picture of the mound. We took the time to pray for family and friends and every one’s souls to have a great day. Strolling along, there was not a lot of movement out. It is always nice to feel the souls of old before the souls of new begin to flow into their day and night. Our thoughts were of life, the game, our goals, and struggles. Just out enjoying life as it is before us.
Walking by the basketball courts, the fog was leaving some, you could see half the fields clearly but the back side of them were very gray with white but very thick and hard to see. You could see tree tops, really not much more. Our instincts and memories already knew what was on the other side, the place we were headed to. Of course, I took a picture, always do.
Finally, we made it to the opening of the cemetery. That’s when I looked to the east and saw something that looked cool. The sun was like a red-orange coming through some trees in the cemetery. I’ve seen it millions of times, but today it just seemed a little different. Again, I took some more pictures. One picture I took was just because what if, right? I always know someone is with us, so I took pictures of my feet print on the road. I thought it was cool and a way of saying I know we are real. It is what it is, right?
Walking over to the tree stump to pray, I noticed the bird food we put out a couple of days ago was still there, so we pushed it into a pile and placed our hands, then began to pray. As we did, the energy was different in the air. Not bad, just had a feel to it that caught our soul’s attention for sure. Sitting back in the grass, our eye saw it forming. Standing up, we made the choice to walk towards what looked a red carpet coming from the sky. It felt like it was being laid out for us to come see something. It was calling us, for sure. We could feel it throughout our soul.
Was this really happening again? This is weird, I get it, I do. It is weird for me at times, too. It was like the rainbow on Christmas day that formed above us as we prayed on our same stump. No one was there but Tracy that day. She took the picture but of course, some would say we made it up somehow. So here we were again, and what was happening? I wanted to go look inside that very red and orange tunnel that formed under the trees. Getting the negative thoughts out of our head, we began to stand up. When I heard some movement going on behind us, it was Nate, out for a walk himself.
“Bro, do you see that over there”, I asked him.
“Ya, I was walking the dogs and thought I would walk up here and look at it. It seems to be forming.” he responded.
I added, “Ya bro, it does, doesn’t it. I’m going to walk over there, bro. Let’s get this party started, right?”
He laughed, “Ya, man, you are crazy.”
“Thanks” I said while smiling at him. I began to walk towards all the red-yellow-orange path.
“Hey, you want me to take pictures for your blogs?” He asked.
Turning around before I crossed the road to descend to our destiny,I said, “Nah, man. Why bother? No one will believe us anyway. They are just cool with us because we mean no harm, and they like that. Growth right?” With that, we all laughed. Walking toward the sky, I was so numb. With each step, I felt growth. I felt excited and anxious all at the same time. Stopping about 10 feet away from the opening that had formed in front of my eyes, I was scared to tell you the truth. I mean, wow, it was happening again? Should I stand, look and feel cool but do nothing, or should I finish and walk into it.
The light had formed a red carpet that led to my feet and was about a foot behind us. Looking down, we thought to walk into the tree of life, among souls of the past to feel whatever the elements of life and our father wants you to feel. This is a gift, go get it. Allow yourself to believe in yourself as much as I do. Allow your souls to feel what is inside. You have come so far, come inside and feel the gift that may be inside waiting for you. Or turn around and have a story of “what if” as you do throughout your life. A broken trail of pain and hurt that overlaps just enough that you know it was all real. Yet it feels like you’re a clown at times, how others make you feel, or you allow yourself to feel.
Left, right, left, we began the walk. Inside was overwhelming euphoria, if you want to say. I was hit with an energy, I can’t explain. My body was calm, very calm. I was not hot or cold. I was shocked through my eyes as two feet in and the world changed. What I walked into was not what was on the other side, even though to anyone standing behind us, nothing changed. Yet, everything changed in my soul and heart. My soul has been so calm and my heart more focused than I have ever been. I understand that is my role, and I am very excited to what is coming.
Leaving that day, I took another picture. It wasn’t until a couple of days later that what happened out there really came out. I received the picture he had taken, and he had taken a couple of videos, cool, right? Well, I waited until today to write this post because I had to take the video around and have others tell me I was wrong, or at least let them have a crack at it. Also, very important note as to why it took so long was kids had soccer game, high school football game, plus a Thursday night college football game for my oldest son (they won).
That is all done, so now I write. So guess what? When you look at the pictures and video, it feels amazing to not only know what we know and feel what we feel, but to see it too. The gift, the walk, the tunnel, what we saw and felt amazing. I know when I’m done blogging this, I will head that way to say hello to my little green friend that showed up in the video and pictures. So why can’t the Zion Mountain be formed? Why can’t we be a part of it? A man said Angola was not of God, and my family was made to leave because of him.
Now I say to you, I’m back, and you are wrong about our town and areas. If you were not then why have I changed, as I really could be up to a whole lot more than trying to prove your words are wrong and to say once again, can’t one demon/angel fight to get forgiveness from father? And once again try to tell the world what he has lived and found to get it. I will say the mass is really not in favor of that. It is cool as another gift will keep us going. Enjoy the video. I love it. Thank you for your time. Blessed be and God Bless. Peace.
