VEIL

They say that I was born with a veil over my face. Have you ever heard that term? I was born 49 + years ago, and much of my life, I've heard that I was born with a veil. It's a two-fold statement.

1. I believe that it was a portion of the amniotic sac (or, the after birth), that had to be removed from my face. Thus, the "veil".

2. It is believed that such babies possess some type of special gifts.

Now, I don't know how "true" the second statement is, but it was always those times when I "saw" something, "felt" something, "heard" something, or "knew" something extraordinarily that I was told about the veil.

I don't believe that there is some mystic quality about me.  I do believe, however, that at times, I do experience certain "odd" occurrences. I call them odd simply because I cannot explain them, but I know that they are very real. In fact, I don't mention them much nor tell many people because it can't be explained and I know that folks would think I'm crazy. It is when I'm sharing with someone whom I know would embrace what I'm saying and at least listen. This is my blog, and I feel like writing about it, so I am.

I remember the times I've heard the "bells". Those that they call death bells; and certainly each time, someone died. I was told that this was because of the veil.  Oh how I wish I didn't have this eccentricity. I cannot begin to tell you how eerie this is!

And when I've "seen" things. When I've "heard" things. Even when I've had dreams. I can't begin to explain them all.

Most recent, I've had this feeling -- a confident feeling -- that something was about to shake up in my family. A change was coming. A transitional period, as we're being driven into a new direction. Yet, I could not, nor cannot say exactly what that is. But I just knew. I've tried to shake the feeling. The thought. The perceived knowledge. Put it out of my head. I don't know if the forecast is for the better, or worse. But I do know that a change is coming. In fact, part of that storm has already hit. A change in dynamics has occurred in my immediate family and as it hit, I was reminded of the feeling that had been in my spirit. It's happening now.

I'm hoping that the little shake up we've had is for the best and that it was necessary to steer us in the right direction.

As far as the veil, none of my children were born with such an occurrence, but each one of them do possess portions of the gifts that endow me. They don't realize that I understand them more than they know.
