Cracking Good

20211029 Friday

I went for a ride on the pushie. [non electric] Not a hard ride, just longer than usual to restore the losses after the Teeth operation. it doesn’t take long to lose fitness, definitely easier and faster to lose it than gain it.

The road I chose was a quiet one in the bush with trees and Shade the temp was getting high 33C.

I was privileged to see loads of farm animals and a turtle in the middle of the road, some birds Rosella’s, Lorikeets, Kookaburras, Bower bird a wallaby who wasn’t sure about whether to run or stay, slapping the tail quite hard in the leaves and grass . This stuff always brings joy to me.

I often sing in these places a little bit like I don’t care who’s listening, I don’t much. I was singing “Worthy is the lamb”. On the way back the wind had changed and was a bit stronger there were branches on the road that were not there earlier.

I was Prompted to Ask for “Protection on my journey”

300m further down the track I was watching the Courier do a delivery then do a U’ey in front of me.  Not too close but did need to cover the brake. Just as he starts making away I felt a branch glance my elbow. Nearly the same time it struck the ground with a loud Crack! A hardwood branch from a Gumtree. 50mm x 1.5m long. straight like a spear.

“I guess that was the one I needed protection from? I said. “Thanks” I said.

There were no other incidents on the way home and I arrived well and in good health.

Make of it What you will.

For all the Detectives that hate coincidence. Such occurrences are regular for me. is it coincidence?
