A moment of beauty can open up another world
At about 9 o’clock this morning I was driving Cee back after a night out with her friends. My mind has my emotions in sensitive mode which means I am more receptive to what I see. I stopped the car on seeing this and took the shot.
It was as if it was a portal, a channel to another world, an enchanted world. I wanted to enter.
Birds could fly into it, angels could inhabit it but humans could imagine it and so I imagined it. I would fly into the beauty and perfection that was in my head. The doubts and the negativity of the past that still every so often appear would be no more and I would be free, perfectly me.
The world was not so different from ours indeed it seemed the same but I could see only goodness existed here. Kindness, positivity and love characterised everyone of this world. I then saw my childhood dog Toby and I whistled as i did 35 years ago. He came to me though in this world he spoke, “Hello Gordon, it has been a long time though now you are here.”
“ You remember me Toby?” I replied.
“Of course. All the good, kind and positive acts remain forever so I remember them. I particular remember how you would come to me when you were feeling afraid or needed to place your head on mine and hug me.”
“Toby I never forgot that either and how you would make me laugh when you started licking my tears. Or the time you suddenly were beside me in the school playground. It was great to see you coming running to me when you espied me. You were always glad to see me and that made me feel needed and wanted.”
“ Gordon i know you know Dog is God spelt backward just to make it fun for kids. Also your world made me seem so awful that kids would have feared me if I hadn't appeared as a dog. At that time I came with the qualities of this world and that is why you remember them for they are forever.”
“I am going to have to go back Toby I have a daughter now. She’s in the car waiting for me while I take this photo. You know I often say to people I had no experience of children or babies before Cee came along but i looked after pups and dogs as a boy and that often gave me the encouragement I needed.”
“ Believe Gordon that at each time you will have what you need, now you have your daughter.”
If you didn’t already know you can live this world in your world, be kind, good and positive. Indeed you wouldn't have seen the possibility if it were not so.”
“Toby, I always knew you were a special dog we will catch up again.”
I knelt down and hugged him and then began walking back to the car. Just before I got in I shouted, “I have a friend called Erika who has eight cats, what do cats mean in this world?”
“Only Erika can tell you that!” he barked in his reply and then he was gone and Cee was driving.
