The Black Bird....In My Hearts Pocket...

~ 'Black bird singing in the dead of night.

Take these broken wings and learn to fly 

all your life...

You were only waiting for this moment to arise...'

~ Black bird, by the Beatles...

~ It's a dark wet day here today...

~ 'Window crying' weather indeed!

A perfect day to tell my little story.

Pull up a chair and draw up close now

I will pop on the kettle.

~ One lump or two?

I know you all like a little magic and  mystery, so please stay a while!

~On a day that was simply like any other...

I was visited by a 'medium' in my little day job in, Bumble Bee..

Lots of times I had served Victor, with not ever an incline of him being anything other than a chatty chappie who simply loved old pieces of vintage furniture!

Victor was always friendly and nearly always had a tale to tell of his family and home life..

But this day was different somehow.

After purchasing a big old hansom chair Victor seemed delighted with it's grandness for his 'man's room' as he called it..

~"Maria I have to tell you some thing," he said as he handed me his card for payment.

~ "I practise Medium ship...

  and I don't usually do this, when I'm not opened up to spirit..But I must say this to you, If I may?

~ You are going away with your son on a wonderful trip, are you not? You will have a super time."

This was the weekend before we flew out to Lyon, so this was correct..

~ But I did think he could have read this in our local news paper..

~ Although I must add, Victor isn't a local chap, so maybe not..

 "And I simply must tell you also of the person you miss in 

spirit so very much who is showing me a sign of a 'Black bird'.

Does this mean any thing at all?"

I was sad but it simply didn't.

~"Please watch for the sign" Victor added.

~ Now I will be perfectly honest, I was busy in the shop on this day..

With jolly customers ordering pretty plaques and gifts for weddings and Christenings!

I so wanted to hear more....But he asked me to pop the information in my 'hearts pocket' to keep safe till needed and that is exactly what I did..

~

I't's quite dark in my kitchen as I type my words here..

so I will light a soft candle to continue with the tale..

( Beautiful Angel, a gift from  lovely, Thea )

~ My black bird visited me the very next day!
Just as Victor had predicted......

Although I cried I was simply delighted to see him..

It happened in perhaps not an unexpected place..

~ But a place I have visited for almost, 35 years...

Patrick whispered as I bent down to cut the beautiful red and white roses for my parents resting place.

"Keep quite still Maria, don't move an inch, there is a bird by your right foot, a Black bird" he said.

 Now I hadn't told Patrick of my visit and chat with Victor...

I hadn't felt the need too!

~ But  I had plenty of time to do so then as my 'Black Bird' hopped onto the grave and stayed with me the whole time, and then simply just hoped away....

Patrick was quiet and just listened as I cried my way through the story!

He is good at listening and understanding things that perhaps others wouldn't...

He never judges!

~ Now I must add to this tale that this is a true story!

~ True to me any way!

( Courtesy of Google thank you kindly)

I  know I will always keep my Black bird in my 'Hearts pocket'

~ and there he will stay..

~ I like to feel there is much we do not know about in the magic and mystery that surrounds us all...

And I think I  also like that we can't 'Google' everything!

Well almost, but not every thing.....

~ I will close for now and say Thank you for listening..
I know it's not every ones cup of tea!

~  But it's a story that I just had to set free on here!

I would like to dedicate this post to my lovely blog friend Ali.. http://alibeecreations.blogspot.co.uk/

(pop over and say hello)

Who I told my story to via email recently...

~ I know we both believe and collect angel feathers on our many travels!

I wonder do you?

~ Take time to dream, lovely friends..

Ooh I  am also very excited for Victors next visit to the shop!

'I wonder will he have another message'?

Hugs and twinkles, Maria x
