[Teague, Julie Anna]

The  world works in mysterious ways, and I embrace the mystery.  Thanks for sharing the story and happy (somewhat commercialized) day of love.  

Julie

I had to go to Canberra today. I had both my car and my eyes booked in for a service with the mechanic and optometrist respectively. The mechanic could do the car without me but I had to go with my eyes to the optometrist, which is in the Canberra CBD.



Dropped the car in Mitchell with Fernando, the Italian car specialist, and took his eccentric 1980 Alfetta into the city. All Alfa Romeos are eccentric. I’m on my second. It's not quite as eccentric as the first, which had an air-conditioner that used to set fire to things, but it has great potential for further eccentricity.



The city was awash with flowers and red hearts. Valentine’s Day. Roger and I never ‘did’ Valentine’s Day. It was commercial and unnecessary and we didn’t need any excuse to express our love. Valentine’s Day is a bit more poignant for me these days, because it was on February 15 two years ago that Roger departed this world for the next.



“Hey,” I said to him this morning, addressing the air. “Hey, Roger. You around? Happy Valentine’s Day!”



Two days before he died I asked him to send me a message when he got to where he was going. He promised he would. About a week, maybe two, later, a friend of his from Canberra, a spiritual healer of Native American descent with some very powerful magic and energy, phoned me to say she’d received a curious vision and I might think she was nuts, but she had to tell me anyway. She said she’d been in the middle of a healing session with a client and in walked Roger. “Beaming and looking great,” she said. He asked her if she would give me a message as he was having trouble getting through to me. “Tell Robin I’m OK,” he’d said. So she did. I told her about my request for a message and that no, I didn’t think she was nuts at all.



After that message, most times when I speak to him, I see a rainbow. Most times. Sometimes I feel his energy around quite powerfully.



Driving into Canberra this morning I crested a hill about half an hour from home and there was a rainbow stretching from the middle of a paddock off to my left, despite there being no rain anywhere in the vicinity.



You can make of that what you wish. I know what I think.
