O'siyo Shadow, ~Aye, I have had that experience more than once~ I agree with what you explained and I would add to it, my opinion only, that there are tymes that I know I am the one who is meant to deliver the 'message' and had that stranger talked to me it could've altered their life ~~Sty-U
Do not let that feeling limit you to just giving, there is also a message in it for you ! The ebb and flow of the universal spirit is a two way street, if you have a message to deliver then there is one for you there also, be attuned to the flow of energy.

I am usually skeptical of such experiences, but I certainly don't discount them totally as I've had a similar experience.
It was about 12 years ago now. I was out deer hunting one day in an old forest area and I came into a small meadow which had a few relatively "new" trees growing in it. I felt this overwhelming sense that something was there with me. It was so intense that I was gripping my rifle extremely hard. I kept trying to tell my self that there must be a deer in the immediate vicinity and that I simply needed to be ready and I would soon seen it. Well, I walked to the other side of the meadow and did not see the deer I was so eagerly expecting. Then, just in the edge of the meadow, where the old growth forest resumed, there were the scattered bones and skull of a deer that had probably died there maybe 5-10 years previous. There were partially decayed. Nevertheless, I didn't see a live deer that day, but I sure has heck felt the presence of that dead one! It was the weirdest feeling I've ever had, and I've never felt it like that again. Od
dly, I rarely hunt alone now, and I did more often when I was younger. Perhaps when we drown out the other voices in our lives, we can better hear the spiritual ones.

Not Odd! You experienced the energy that life releases and recieved a message from the life of that animal. That encounter may have saved your life some where after that encounter, the bones could have been yours in the future of that encounter. You state you no longer hunt alone......!

O'siyo, ~Aye, but in most cases, if there is a message for me it comes later Especially when I 'know' I am there for someone or something ~ Doesn't one need to always be 'in-tune' in order to give to others as well as receive~ It's a must for me~ ~I have also 'noticed' that when one gives, there is total peace spiritually, mentally and physically~ Doesn't get any clearer or blessed than that ~~Sty-U

O'siyo MacAibhistin, ~What a fantastic experience! Ni Ya We for sharing~ I guess just because we are 'expecting' something doesn't mean that we always get it eh? ~Sty-U and have a blessed and peaceful eve
Might have Shadows but it was too overwhelming for me as a child. That was the feeling, it was just too big of a thing for me to handle and I was getting out of there.
Interesting idea about me being her favorite. I don't think I was, probably a younger cousin was her favorite. But I was my grandfather's favorite and I used to spend my summers with him later as a kinda helper around the house/companion. Maybe that was the connection she wanted to make. With the one who could make my grandfather smile.
Don't you think you have to be open to portable spirits though? I have a hard time thinking of my grandma reaching out much. She was a good, kind, loving women but not big on imagination. Very down to earth and practicle. Now me, there are some people I know I am connected to all the time, can feel when they are thinking of me. Then again, I'm quite imaginitive.
You may not have been her favorite, but were you most connected to her?
I think it may have been both experiences.
