It was a beautiful April day in the Spring when I was travelling back home to Taffy, Kentucky. I had been to a concert and to visit friends. We went to see "The Scottsville Squirrel Barkers" just south of Scottsville, Kentucky. I was driving North on Highway 231 about 2pm in the afternoon by myself. The concert was fantastic! They even played some "Byrds" music. Everything seemed normal as I cruised along looking at the pretty scenery. I even fantasized a little bit at one valley I drove through. It looked like it might have been a gathering spot for dinosaurs once. There was something about it that made it look a little prehistoric sort of like those "Tar Pits" in Los Angeles. Anyway, a little further up the road as I just started up a hill, I couldn't help but notice... I was looking at the horzon where the Earth and sky met and all of a sudden a piece of the sky fell out and dangled there, separated from the rest of the sky! It was just like the sky was a painting or a scenery flat in a play onstage and a chunk of it just broke loose and hung there slightly swinging back and forth! I squinted my eyes to see if my eyes were playng tricks on me, but that wasn't it. This was for real! I stopped the truck I was driving and got out to make sure I was seeing what I was seeing. I was. There it was as big as life! If I held my fist at arms length, that's about how big the hole in the sky was and a piece of it was danglng like it had broken loose and was hanging from a nail. Blue sky, white clouds over green trees. It was as real as anything! As I sat there in amazement because I had never witnessed anthing like that before or even ever heard of anything like that other than the lyrics of that song, "I tore my mind on a jagged sky, I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in.", in just a moment up the road came an "old order" Amish horse and buggy with a bearded Amish man driving. He stopped, looked at me and then the sky and then back at me. I said,"Do you see it too?". He just smiled and softly said, "Of course I see it too. The good Lord shows us a lot of mysteries. It's not for us to question. It's for us to be thankful for." I told him I'd never seen anythig like that before. He told me assuredly, "I reckon it's true what they say that the Earth is the stage and we're all just players on it and so that sky must be part of his scenery for this play we're in. We must be careful to play our parts right. May God Bless you and be sure to learn your lines." and then he smiled and snapped the reins as he and the horse and buggy clopped off down the road. I stood there dumbfounded and watched the sky sort of "heal up" and go back together. It just sort of melded back together and then it looked perfectly normal again. I'll never forget that day and everytime I listen to the "Byrds" I think back to the day of the jagged sky.
wow...that is an awesome story, seriously. its kinda creepy to think of the sky 'breaking' like that, i probabaly would have been freaking out!
That's totally amazing. Holy. Thank you for posting that, actually- it's incredible what this world can do and that we'll never even begin to understand
I think what happened is the energy of the cosmos played a trick on you, I saw a cloud formation that looked like an etched picture of 4 white horses pulling a chariot down to very detailed leather harnass and horses and chariot.........I know for a fact the clouds didn't look that way, something was inbetween them and me. a kinda electriacl particle energy field my imagination was enhanced with.........
