Have you ever just wanted to know whether or not you were moving in the right direction in your life? Do you wish sometimes you could just go to the top of the mountain and ask the guru? I needed answers. What do you do when you just need a voice to actually speak to you? For starters, you quiet your spirit. Second, you ask for a sign. Specifically, you ask to see something and give yourself a time in order to see that of which you have asked to see. I asked to see an owl. I wanted to see an owl. I have never seen an owl outside the zoo and I wanted to see an owl. I would give it thirty days and if I saw an owl, I would know my direction was correct. If no owl, I would change directions. Within a couple of days, strange things started happening. I was watching television and a preview of a movie came on the commercial...it was about an OWL! Ok, I wasn't sure this was what I was looking for. Although I didn't specify a real owl, I really did want to see a real owl. The next day my son and I were outside playing a game and we heard a noice. I said what is that? He replied (not knowing about my request) it sounded like an owl. I thought...WHAT? Still not convienced my request had manifested, I continued to doubt. It was just a few days after that that the shriek was heard round the neighborhood. My older son was leaving from having dinner around 9pm or so. He had just walked out the door when he came back in and said, (and I quote) "there is an owl sitting on the basketball rim". We all ran out and it was there! A real live owl! I told the boys what I had requested and we all were a bit freaked out. A couple of days later, I was on my deck and right in a tree near me, MY OWL! I ran in and grabbed my camera. It looked right at me as to say...now do you believe? I DO!
