A few moments ago, around noon here, the phone rang...


Me: Hello?

Caller: Are you sleeping?

Me: No.

Caller: I'm glad.

(short pause)

Caller: What times dinner?

Me: Who is this? Who are you calling?

(medium pause)

Me: I think you have the wrong number.

Caller: I think so too. I'm sorry sir.

Me: That's ok. Good bye.

(end of call)



Just a typical wrong number, except the women sounded just like one of my grandmothers that is no longer with us. Before the call ended I breifly regretted asking who was calling.

Sometime the heart should answer the call and let the mind rest.

Yea, the heart was definately making a play for power

as I tried to reason out who was on the phone.



I had that surreal feeling you get before you realize what you're really seeing, when what you think you're seeing is impossible.

Heart trick? Mind trick?

Laura25: Heart trick? Mind trick?
Hello Ocee



Hello Laura wave


A few weeks ago one of the shadows the flowers cast on my patio

ran about three feet across the patio, turned around and ran off.

The trip lasted maybe 3 or 4 seconds. There was just enough light to cast shadows and what I had really seen was a mole.
We don't see moles running around on patios very often so it took my mind a few seconds to pull up the "mole on patio" file.

I'd call it a mind trick.

Not immediately reasoning that my caller was simple a wrong number, with a familiar voice... probably more of a heart trick.

Heart-trick moments are always so peculiar...

Feels odd and meaningful when it happens, but later one just smiles at the heart thought.

I think all of us have these mind tricks. It often takes us a second or two or three to realize what is really happenning. Couple the emotions of certain events to this and we have your situation, which I don't think is too uncommon.
