I took my usual hike up the mesa this evening at around 6:15 p.m.
The sun was poking through scattered thick clouds above the western horizon, casting deep moving shadows across the face of the Sangre de Cristos. it was about 60 degrees. I had a fine time, reached the top in less than 20 minutes, and started back down. After a short distance I saw the neighbor’s housesitter coming up the road in the other direction. I didn’t call out or wave, just kept on walking as the distance narrowed between us.
All of a sudden I felt a burst of concentrated nervousness shoot out from her in my direction. We’ve all experienced this kind of thing. But I also SAW it in the form of a semi-transparent swarm of rapidly-twisting thin dark shapes that shimmered for few milliseconds in the air between us. I didn’t realize what had happened until we’d passed by each other without any verbal recognition. She was meditating, obviously, which I immediately understood, but what on earth was that other business?!
And my God, what if this happens all the time? What if each of us “makes” something with every strong emotion, something with at least a fleeting life of its own? What if we’re all in the business of generating this stuff and have no idea we’re responsible?
Man, would that ever explain a LOT.
