I was staring out of a picture window
Sipping my morning coffee
Pecan roasted beans floating in the air
Enjoying the solitude and the quiet
Surrounded by quaking aspen, Douglas-fir, and Colorado blue spruce
Various pinecones enveloping the ground
Green and blue evergreen needles dance about
Inhaling all that was around me
Taking it in and enjoying every moment.
Then my eyes see the most beautiful creature,
I am sure that I have not seen an animal so exquisite.
The sight of something so phenomenal,
It takes my breathe away.
I cannot remember feeling this way in a very longtime.
I have felt this, but the connection is so familiar
but strange at the same time.
I have felt this connection from a husband or child
But never from One of God’s creatures
It engulfed my spirit
Is this what it is like to make contact with one’s spirit animal?
As I catch my breath, I continue to allow the sighting to take me away.
I have so many questions,
Definitely no answers,
Because I have allowed this beautiful creature to pierce my soul.
An out of body experience,
Can only slightly describe what I felt,
It was what I would imagine
how it would feel if God’s hand stroked my face.
I became even more curious.
Was this beautiful creature an omen?
Was it there to reassure me the journey that
I have seemed to reconnect with—was the correct path?
