You can't stop the message!

Every once in a while one finds something significant happen, it is at this time that you are reminded that your Carma is good, the future ( as you sees it ) is right on track, and yes the rest of the world but a few are simply missing the boat! Homee Dad had one of these happening not so long ago and has chosen to share this experience with the Homee Following!

Not so many weeks ago in a land far far away Homee Dad was .......... Stop - that's another story, I shall reboot. A few weeks ago Homee was sent to the big smoke for some training, this in itself is not that unusual - but the everlasting effects are such that it would make you lick both sides of the knife as you remove it from the peanut butter.

It seems Homee was sent on a negotiation / mediation course. This topic weighed heavy on my mind as I registered into my humble abode just up from the corner of Church and Carlton. I relaxed in my room and immediately felt what Homee describes as a calling, perhaps a tug or maybe even a push. Homee always considering himself as a rational person, attempted unsuccessfully to find the source of this feeling. But alas the night grew later and he was aware that he would need his rest to deal with his new surroundings in the AM.

As the night went on this feeling would not go away, it seemed to grow stronger, Homee lay awake and confused ( not my normal confused - this was more like confused with meaning ). It was 3:05 AM when Homee lost total control ( no the sheets were still dry - Homee has not yet got to that stage in life! ). Before I knew what had overcome me I was standing on the floor and walking towards the small window in my room. It was like I was being drawing to this opening, the music from twilight Zone began to play in my head, I could see a glow from the other side of the glass.

Is this what going to the other side feels like - was Homee making that great journey - I wasn't ready for that - I still had so many things left to do. Visions ran through my mind of all the things Homee has not completed! I still had many stories to pass onto Kaden and future grandchildren, how would they know the true meaning of life? Hilary has constantly hounded Homee Dad to write that book - I need more time.

What would sidekick Sue do?, she would be Homeeless - Azia my loving canine - who would feed her rum and coke? --------- Am I wearing clean underwear? - mom always warned me this would happen one day! The emotions were building yet the glow was getting stronger, calling me to the window.

Homee faced his fear, he gave in to the calling, he walked to the window and looked for a sign! It was at this time that Homee knew his lot in life. If the Grinch's heart grew 10 times, Homee's must have grown 20. Homee now knows how Batman felt when he looked to the sky to see the signal from Gotham City. Homee now knew his mission, the reason for his trip to the big Smoke!

When Homee looked out into the glow he saw but one image, one of Hope, Strength, Pride and yes even struggle all in one. Of all the rooms Homee could have been assigned it was no fluke that he was where he was now standing. Yes to Homee's right, just below the level of his window was a very large, bluer than blue, bolder than bold, prouder than proud Maple Leaf. It was then that Homee realised that he was looking at none other than the historic home of the gladiators commonly known as the Toronto Maple Leafs!!!!

There was no doubt that this moment was staged in Homee's life! The reason for Homee's visit to the big smoke had nothing to do with preparing him to deal turmoil in the world - this was yet a reminder to Homee Dad - Never give up !

Homee crawled into bed giggling, he had a wonderful nights sleep while visions of Lord Stanley's Cup danced through his head!
