Jasper’s New Crate
Sacred Stories
She had recently gotten a new rescue dog. She named him Jasper.
She met another woman who was walking her dog at the park.
She mentioned she was going to go out of state to visit her father for the first time since Jasper had come into her family, so she needed to buy a crate.
The woman volunteered, “My dog has just outgrown a crate. You can have it!”
Benoit Mandelbrot said, “There is a saying that every nice piece of work needs the right person in the right place at the right time.”
Here is a very contented Jasper looking dapper in his new crate.

Maybe You’ll be There
Sacred Stories
She took her normal back roads to the facility where her husband had been in the memory care unit for over five years. Her mind often drifted backwards and forwards, leaving her searching for this moment.
This stretch of road was hugged tightly by the forest and her autumn drive was abruptly entered by a big buck who just barely missed hitting her.
Just as abruptly, her awareness was fully entered by the depth of Canadian jazz pianist and singer, Diana Krall, singing “Maybe You’ll be There:”
Someday if all my prayers are answered
I’ll hear a footstep on the stair
With anxious heart, I’ll hurry to the door
And maybe you’ll be there -
On Eagles Wings
Sacred Stories
His brother had recently passed. Their relationship was very close. When their father had a stroke nearly forty years earlier, this brother became the patriarch of the family. Plus, they wintered close by and spent a couple of days a week together. They shared a very special bond.
His brother had built him a front porch.
His brother orchestrated putting new windows in the home of their sister-in-law following the passing of their brother who was between them in age.
His brother had been with him when he lost consciousness and was rushed to the hospital.
The feeling of loss was palpable.
Coming into the great room that morning, he told his wife about a dream he had. In the dream his brother was off to the left in a spotlight dancing. When the light would go out, his brother would freeze. The light would come back on and the dancing would begin again.
As they explored some of the obvious aspects of the dream (including how our deceased loved ones are “animated” by our loving thoughts) his wife mused, “It must be very frustrating and agitating. It is like you are invisible. Your family and friends don’t see you or hear you because they believe you are gone…”
She caught herself mid-sentence before continuing, “Well, they are probably not actually frustrated or agitated, but for sure our loved ones appreciate and are animated when we acknowledge their continued presence with us.”
As these words came out of her mouth the Alexa device turned itself on playing “On Eagles Wings” by Steve Hall.
And He will raise you up on eagles’ wings
Bear you on the breath of dawn
Make you to shine like the sun
And hold you in the palm of His hand

Monarch on a Golf Ball
Sacred Stories
When my dad passed, a little Monarch butterfly got into the memorial section of the cemetery, and he was fluttering around. So, I just thought, “Oh, that’s my dad saying, ‘I’m okay. I’ve got an eye on everybody.”
So, in my mind, if I see a butterfly — especially a Monarch — I always think that is just my dad coming to say hello.
The funny thing was, I had never shared that with my husband until one day we were golfing and a Monarch was following us for nine holes. And we had a golf cart and could go fast!
I told my husband, “This Monarch is staying with us. I think it’s my dad just hovering around saying hi.”
The butterfly flew over to my husband, who said, “Hi, Bob!” My dad’s name was Robert.
We stopped into the clubhouse at the turn to get a snack and something to drink. I had the thought, “This will be the real story now if we go back out. Will he be waiting for us?”
No butterfly.
I hit this really great shot. My ball is on the green. THE BUTTERFLY IS ON MY BALL.

17 Minutes
Sacred Stories
“Alexa, how much time is left on the timer?” his wife asked from the kitchen.
“Seventeen minutes,” Alexa answered, as he (just a few step away) was reading those exact words!
“We are today beginning to see work by very reputable scientists that says the universe is created by our observations. It is not a coincidence; we are actively involved in physically shaping the world that we experience.” ~ Bruce H. Lipton
