144 Hold the Vision
As Body continued the search for a temporary house purchase in the town and was struggling to find anything within their budget. Body took time out to relax at the beach, or on a walk, in meditation and afternoon naps and started to feel better and Spirit happier. There would be a place for them Body felt sure.
“Why don’t we change out search criteria and look for a flat instead?” Brain suggested.
“As long as it has a garden” the Little Red Haired Girl chimed in.
“That may not be possible” Brain admitted “but we will look for it child.” Brain in all honesty could not envisage any flat with a garden being within their price range.
Tucked away on one of the side streets in the town Body found an estate agent business front she had not seen before.
“Go in” called Spirit “it feels Intuitive.” So Body obeyed a little hesitantly after seeing the property advertised in the window as being well beyond them.
The lady inside with a friendly face admitted choices were thin within the price, but there was a flat that had become available but not yet listed. Would I like to see it?
“Go with it” called Spirit.
“No harm in looking” admitted Brain and as they got into the ladies car, Body noticed the number plate on the car parked in front, 333, “a good sign” Spirit encouraged.
As the lady talked about the flat, the journey was over, it was 15 minutes from the centre of town. “A nice walk” Body agreed “and convenient” as a butterfly landed on her hand still on the car door handle. “How pretty” the Little Red Haired Girl exclaimed. “Look it’s got two eyes on it’s wings.”
The lady continued to talk, but Spirit was ‘out of Body’ and Body therefore was not really paying attention to the lady and was distracted by Spirits absence. Spirit had gone ahead with the Little Red Haired Girl and already seen the park the flat was adjacent to with trees, and swings and ducks, and …..”calm down” Body requested out loud which stopped the lady talking to Body with an enquiring look, and Body had to apologise for her strange interruption.
Body caught up with Spirit as she looked out of the flat window, a nice view of the park a pleasant vista that they could literally visit in seconds just like a garden would be.
“Perfect for us” Heart cried.
“Don’t get too keen yet” Brain reprimanded “we have to look around the flat and the area. We will come back at nightime and see what…..”
“it feels like” cried Heart.
“Exactly” Brain agreed as a solitary blackbird landed on the windowsill looking in at them.
The blinds were drawn on all the other windows and the whole flat came into view as it was flooded with light. They looked around, 2 bedrooms, a lounge, kitchen and bathroom. “Ah the bathroom is a dissapointment, it will need renovating” Brain noticed. “But it’s one room!” Body responded “we can pay to have that done.”
“It feels good” Heart cried.
“We will see if the price is negotiable” Brain responded and before it had finished it’s sentence Body had asked the question whilst Brain caught up with calculation of the cost of renovating the bathroom and Body had shaken hands with the lady within 5 minutes of walking into the flat.
Everything followed with ease. The night visit Brain had insisted on, the deposit paid and renovation quote received. “It’s too easy” Brain felt uneasy like it was expecting a catch. There was none.
“Relax” Spirit called “we have seen the good signs, we have asked for it and we have been answered. This flat is ours.”
“Agreed” sighed Soul. “We prayed to find it. We requested a temporary (or not) home, and it has come into our view along the path.”
“I’m not going to say it’s ‘coincidence’ said Brain “we have found it and acted on it.”
“Cause it felt right” cried Heart.
“Coz it has a park” the Little Red Haired Girl was delighted.
“Some green and open space” called Spirit “it suits us all.”
Brain had a weird ‘de ja vu’ moment. “Just a minute. Haven’t we seen this park before?”
“I don’t remember finding it before, you know what my sense of direction is like” and Body laughed at herself this time.
“It seems like a long time ago” said Brain “but I cannot put Body’s finger on it” as they sat on the park bench.
“Look they have ducklings” the Little Red Haired Girl announced “aren’t they cute.”
“See if you can count them” Body laughed as the adult ducks wandered past in a line.
“What’s going on here?” questioned Brain “we have had this picture and conversation before?”
“Yes and the seagull ruined it” the child stated “but there is non here now, it’s safe” as she skipped off to play on the swings.
“We have Brain, we, ‘Body’ dreamt of it and I saw it” called Spirit.
“How come?” Brain was short.
“I’m getting better at remembering Body’s dreams. This one started off well, but the seagull killing the blackbird made it a nightmare for her and Body woke up sobbing” Spirit called.
“But we are here now, in real time. It’s not a nightmare it’s real” Body pinched herself.
“Before I had chance or knowledge, a dark presence took hold of the vision and turned the picture bad. Made Body cry. Displaced and corrupted her dream” called Spirit.
“Your losing me”admitted Brain “no one can infiltrate a persons dreams, not even me and I should be able to especially if Body gets distressed.”
“Can they not?” called Spirit “I believe someone tries to. I believe they send other spirits, or maybe even astro travel to do it. It’s beyond my capabilities but I felt it happen whilst she slept.”
“Who would do such a thing?” cried Heart.
“People, spirits, whoever, that want us to be fearful and constrained on our journey.”
“Hang on! I thought we were getting over all this ‘spiritual attack’ business” Brain was nonplussed.
“It would appear not” called Spirit. “Have you any explanation for it Brain?”
“Absolutely not! This came as a complete surprise to me as we sit here on this bench.”
“Then we are agreed. We must increase our spiritual protection” called Spirit.
“We need to read more and increase our knowledge” agreed Brain.
“Can we finish moving into the flat first?” questioned Body “we’ve only just bought it and Heart feels good about it.”
“Let’s enjoy it” pleaded Heart “Things don’t usually go this well or easy, let’s celebrate it and enjoy our surroundings. we are safe.”
“Agreed” they all stated as they turned the new keys over within Body’s fingers, and watched the Little Red Haired Girl enjoying the swings.
Thank you God, thank you Universe, thank you Holy spirit they all silently acknowledged.
