Waking up in my truck parked in the Rest Area on I-95 just north of D.C., I wondered momentarily where I was. I had traveled to southern VA this Friday to pick up the Sculpt I had asked a friend to carve for me two years ago. A wonderful Spirit Totem, that depicts the Spirit Journey I had taken and includes my animal and plant totems as well, was now going home with me.
Finding myself nodding off on the Washington Beltway at 4-something in the morning after already driving for 4 hours, I decided to pull into the rest area and sleep for a few minutes. Perhaps I should have stayed overnight with my friend and traveled at first light as planned. But, I got antsy and felt I had to come home.
So, after walking Cody on the grass and taking a pitstop myself, we were back on the road again. I only had an hour and a half left to drive, and I felt rested enough to make it. As we turned off of I-70 onto MD RT 97, we were greeted by the most spectacular Sunrise I have seen in a great while.
It was 6:15 AM when I pulled my truck in front of the garage, got out and fed the horses and goats. As I was walking down into the pasture with feed buckets in my hand and a half a bale of hay in my other arm, I heard "Hey Girlfriend! Welcome Home!" from the other side of the road. Ken was surprised and delighted to see me walking across the drive as he was wiping the sleep from his eyes and making coffee. I shouted back to him, "Morning Love... I'll be right over."... And so went the rest of the weekend, mellow and kicked back.
While I was gone, Kenny had rented the guest house to a young couple with three small children. We had shown the house to a woman whose boyfriend is a DEA Agent !!! No Lie. Let me tell you, I have had my Meteorite in my hand, and was wishing and telling him with Great mental force that he truly didn't want to rent the house. Must've worked, the girlfriend called to tell me that he couldn't move there cause; "there Wasn't any "COM" (no cell phone service in the valley)... and he was out of his "G" car milage range by 7 miles. PHEW !!! That was a really close call. Not that I'm doing anything that would warrent investigation, but those guys are so prying and have absolutely No respect for personal space.
It was such a pleasure to hear the kids laughing and screeching with delight over there yesterday. The house needs Life. It certainly has it again.
But this thread is about my spirit totem, so...
