The next thing that happened will sound like I’m making it up, but it did happen, just as I’m saying. Blessed or cursed, I hear music in my mind.

Church choir
May 27 2022 We are walking with Shannon, Kirk, and several other people. While Donna, Shannon, and I continue on Kirk takes the rest of the group down by the walk by the river to show them the locks that control the water flow. I am pulling a carry-on suitcase with a soft guitar case…

One man is dressed in blue, and some people try to avoid him, like “hide and seek.” I’m spying on him but avoiding being seen. A ball rolls my…
(46) Taking Off, Again
October arrived, and we received our visas for India. Excitedly, we piled into Shannon’s car, and she drove us to Dulles Airport in Washington, DC. She dropped us off at the terminal and waited in the parking to ensure we could get a standby flight.
