Mind under matter

I don't understand the way nature works, but I do know it is a true mystery.

My husband was terrified of birds and he was the only person I ever knew who was constantly being bombarded by blue jays. They would fly in and dive bomb his head.

I am afraid of dogs and somehow dogs sense that. I have been backed into a corner by more dogs than I care to remember.

Bestest is afraid of wasps and has been stung before, but today he was simply running down a street when a wasp swooped in and stung his upper arm.

I walked through bees every day of the summer when I lived in North Carolina and I had to walk under a wasp nest for a week, but none of them stung me. In fact, the only time I've been stung was when I stepped on a bee.

It makes me wonder even more if we are more powerful than we believe. There must be something in us that draws these things we are afraid of. Now if we could only figure out what, or why. I have been successful passing some dogs when I concentrate on a single yellow daisy I once saw growing on a sand dune. I am sure, among other things, it controls the perspiration of fear on my body.

It is probably the same reason Voodoo works and faith healers are successful. It is why some people make miraculous recoveries and probably accounts for a lot of the synchronicities in our lives. We are like walking, talking, out of control radio towers just buzzing with messages we don't know how to smell, see, or control in any way.
