rochndilI walk outside my office at about 10:50 this morning, get into my car to go pick up the mail, and as I'm backing out, just across the parking lot there's a DOE! A real live full-grown doe, walking calmly along the bank across the drainage ditch. I stopped the car, raced into the office to grab the crappy work digital camera, and ran back outside, but she was gone. In that scrub she could have been 10 yards from me and I'd never see her, but still, wow!
So, I go on to the post awful and pick up the mail. On the way back to the car I find a (probably) silver hoop earring in the parking lot. Walking BACK into the office I find a dead or dying juvenile praying mantis. Now for most folks that's just weird, but for ME that all screams of "omen." The problem is, I cannot imagine any way to put all those pieces together. Obviously, the problem with omens is that you usually understand them just AFTER you really needed to, but as significant and unusual as these elements are, and considering how close to Yule we are, I'm very concerned about what might be up.
The last time I saw a deer like that was just as I was leaving Rome forever. I certainly hope she means something different this time, because I am NOT ready for my next big move yet. A silver ring could be associated with my ex- maybe, but the mantis? Shoot, I hope it doesn't mean she's sick or in trouble. Damn. Better make a call.
