Twice now, I’ve passed a traffic accident where people died and I felt the energies so intensely. I knew, just knew.
Today, I left work early to take Shannon to the bank to get cash to buy a car. I got caught in a storm, off and on, on the way home, and I could feel the anxiety around me as we sat gridlocked.
When the storm lifted a little, I found myself approaching a traffic light, a yellow one. Worrying about my wet brakes on oil-slick and rainy roads, I slowed early. The truck beside me did, too, but it wasn’t enough. They barreled into the car in front and shoved it into the intersection.
No one was hurt. Not even a scratch on the car, and the truck was too beat up to see any scratches. The drivers, during the cycle of one red light, exchanged info, gave each other a thumbs up, and hopped back into their cars.
I looked over at the woman in the truck and my knees turned to jelly. I felt her response to the near miss. That was odd. I don’t usually do that.
I also had a weird feeling. Does destiny reassert itself, as Dean Koontz alleged in “Lightning”?
The rear-ended car pulled into my lane ahead of me and sped off in the rain. The truck followed suit. Up ahead, a dump truck pulled into the inside lane, then started moving over while on the bridge beside the car. The car shot past him in time to avoid a wreck, and the dump truck pulled back into the inside lane….
Until the truck was almost even with it. Then the dump truck swung fast into the outside lane, trapping the truck between it and the bridge rail. The truck slammed on brakes and swerved around the dump truck. Another near miss.
I felt all those energies and emotions. I’ve never experienced that before. I’m not safe inside the walls of my own vehicle. Feelings and fears come right through.
