#30. The Travelling Stone

Psychic phenomenon is born from deep vibrations and spiritual connections, so I’ve found it to be as much of a divine function as it is a psychic function.  There are many people with miraculous stories that strengthened their connection to the spiritual, and I’d like to share one of my own.  I was on a hike along local river with a friend I’ll call Raccoon.  We were hunting for colorful local rocks called agates in the shallows of the river.  I had a habit of finding very little compared to my friend, and he would come back with so many we could usually have a good laugh at the imbalance.  It got old, though, and looking back I find myself asking who am I to want, but I appreciated his skill.  He came over to me with an armload of them that day, and in a flash of frustration I looked up toward the sky saying, “God, why cant I find a big agate…”  I was in the process of looking back down when I saw it, and without breaking my rhythm I was able to add, “like THAT one.”  There it was, embedded into the rocks just a foot behind Raccoon.  An agate the size of a softball.  An agate specialist looked at it to find the best place to have it cut, and found a line already tracing the path he found to be the best place to cut it, seemingly scratched into the rock.  He remarked how he had never seen an agate that told you exactly where to cut it. What astonished me was what we found inside it.  An image matching a painting I was planning to represent the connection of student and teacher, like 2 teardrops connected by an arch at the top.  I never made the painting, the stone was enough for me.  Oddly enough, this stone accidentally fell into a purse and made its own trip around the world to get back to me, thanks to some wonderful people, and that’s why I call it the travelling stone, and how I was really convinced there’s a higher power out there.
