Little Romeo

[Guest guest]

Everyone:

I took lunch at the local museum and was sitting on my the path given the soggy

grass. A man on bicycle stopped and asked, " what is this place " . I informed, it

is a museum. He rubbed his head and said, " I have been here for 5hunderd80years

and I have never seen it. " Then stated, I mean 58 years. We entered into an hour

long conversation.

 

He shared that he had been a police officer and had been in the Marines. He

stated, " my wife was from Ireland " . I said, oh, I visited Ireland this summer.

He expressed that he and his wife had wanted to go there too, but that while in

her Residency she was killed when riding her bike home (April 12, 2006).

 

He went on to share that as a child he was bullied and thrown into the ditch;

would be beaten up on his way to school because he was so small. A neighbor had

witnessed the bulling and become his mentor in the Marcial Arts. He told of a

later encounter of how he was able to protect himself and from then on stand on

his own. He learned how to discern of when it was appropriate to use " the arts "

and when not to. He shared how this become his expertise when in the Marines.

 

He then stated that due to a mild stroke he had to quit the police force. He

told of his entire story and of his wife's passing. Expressed that because of

his condition he was at home when is wife passed. Otherwise, he would have

worked " 4 on and 3 off " . He looked at me and inquired, " Do you think I had the

stroke so that I could be there with her. " I said, I trust that things happen

in our life for a reason. It places us on the path we are to be on; that we are

just where we need to be at all times. He shared how his wife had reached up

into the sky and smiled before she passed. " I think she saw an angel " , he said.

I nodded, and replied with a smile, I think you are right.

 

He shared how he discovered too that he had high blood pressure, and " do you

know what from? " , he asked. I said, from eating too many donuts! He laughed and

said, how did you know…and I playfully replied, because you were a Cop! He said,

" my doctor is from India. She told me how to eat better. She is very pretty. "

He shared about how he lives with his son, but that he is not welcome there

anymore and will need to find a place on his own. He said, " I'll be ok on my

own; it was only a mild stroke. " Afterall, he has friends who look out for him.

 

He spoke of how he was a drummer in a jazz band, and that now he likes listening

to jazz music and Gospel music…stating that the music makes him feel calm and

peaceful. He was kneeling across from me and we were facing one another. He

said, I like your smile. And I said, I'm self conscious, I have chipped teeth

from being in a bicycle accident. He said, I didn't notice. I like your smile

because my wife (Patricia/Patti) always smiled. Then he said, " and my favourite

thing to do was massage her feet " . (And I thought, oh no…seriously!) I

replied, that's a very loving and caring thing for you to do. And just then a

swallow-tail butterfly fluttered between us. By now I was past my lunch break

and needed to excuse myself. I thanked Ramone, aka Rameo, aka Little Arnold, for

the beautiful conversation and said farewell and " blessings to you " .

 

Shakti magic, I do believe!

 

Love:

Danielle

We are often sent teachings thru others. We sometimes do not realize it at the

time. You were given a gift from Romeo - a chance to take you out of your

situation and listen and share with another. You will attract many as chrism

says - and you will be given many lessons as you walk your path.

Love is tangible and you are receptive - kudos dear lady - and Romeo needed to

be in your radiance for a time - you gave him a gift of your love.

 

I want to be more open to the opportunities of receiving so I need to pay

attention more - one of the student aides at work left school to return to his

mom in Fl - I enjoyed his presence- he is a kind, caring and considerate young

fella. I see that he was a gift to me - his shy smile and willingness to be

helpful - I will miss him and I do hope I gave him some of what he needed. I

met his dad and was able to tell him how I appreciated his son. A wonderful

gift.

 

Thank you for reminding me of teachers that we meet.
