“I stood face to face with the moon and the ocean and the future that spread out with all its bewildering immensity before me.” – Pat Conroy
I’ve had an extremely thought-provoking and bizarre weekend so far. Yesterday, a psychic approached me on the street and threw some premonitions at me that no one who hadn’t known me for the last two years, would have known might happen. I was shocked, albeit slightly skeptical, and hustled her into charging me half of what she was asking for, to tell me more. Hey, you hustle me, I’ll hustle you back.
She held my palms in her hands, and stared into my eyes. Out of the eight or nine premonitions she told me, a good six of them were completely relevant to my life, and seemingly, to my future. She told me things about my family, my career, and and my love life that held much more than fortune cookie significance. I actually became teary-eyed at one point because some of the things she said rang so true to what was going on.
I found out that these talents run in the women of her family, which I found so intriguing. This discovery also momentarily distracted me from my own emotions. I felt like interviewing her, but it didn’t seem like the right time or place (the crowded street corner in front of Gap that made it look like we were doing a drug deal, was already a little inappropriate) but needless to say, I was captivated. I can’t say that I would go back to her, but I can say that the experience made me more open to possibilities of looking to the future instead of constantly dwelling on the past, and possibly seeking out someone with a similar power to make me more aware of the present.
