Good will to men

Yesterday, Rusty, the incredibly kind policeman, called me to let me know it was his day off. He was going to play golf out of town, and he would be back by 3:30. He advised me that if my woodchuck happened to go into the live trap in my kitchen before he got back, to call the department, and one of the officers would come out and let the animal go somewhere in the woods. If after 3:30, I should call him — Rusty — on his cell phone, and he would come right over.

Am I dreaming?

Rusty is sure reminding me of Heaven Admin!

Apart from Rusty’s extreme kindness to me, he has to be the Policeman of the Year. He is a police officer with a caring heart for all.

The other day he had to arrest a fourteen or fifteen-year old boy on drug charges of some kind and take the boy to jail. Rusty said that the boy did not have a good example from his parents. Rusty hoped that the arrest would help to straighten the boy out. “I don’t judge,” Rusty said to me. “It’s not for me to judge. I just follow the law.”

Rusty’s compassion for the boy was clear.

I can only imagine that Rusty’s consciousness has touched this boy. Who would not benefit from spending time with Rusty?

Is this new world that God speaks of upon us? Is it here already? Has it perhaps been here longer than we knew?

Report on Chucky:

I left the front window open without a screen for almost twenty-four hours. I have not heard or seen Chucky in a while. It may be that he found his way out the way he came in. If today continues without a sound, then I can feel pretty sure that he is outside, and I have my house and life back, and can start picking up everything Chucky knocked off the window sill. I don’t know if it’s Chucky or the police who are responsible for the disarray in my lower kitchen cupboards, but I’ll get going on that too.

What is the meaning of all this?!!! What am I to learn?

I’m not sure if what is being learned is the right question. It seems like these experiences are life playing out for us its true nature in mini-dramas.

Who could have predicted “Chucky’s” behavior? And then there is the energy of this woodchuck doing his woodchuck thing.

There is your loving nature, Gloria, drawing Rusty’s kindness into your life (and ours).

There is also our amused appreciation of all this as you share it with us.

Perhaps we are not so much learning as growing, experiencing and becoming more aware of life in its spontaneous flow. But then maybe I am just prejudiced against the word “learning.”

Beloved Chuck, you are right. God in Heavenletters tells us that we are not here to learn lessons. Learning isn’t the right word. And here is my mind wanting to know answers and make sense when life just is what it is at the moment it is. God has also said there is no cause.

I enjoyed imagining what it would be like if a Chucky made his way into my home. My 2 furry angels would not be able to ignore such an intruder.
We were all certainly amused. I laughed for quite some time at One’s photos and captions.
Maybe you are just simply be-ing and the energy flows. I just love it when one little “happening” leads to another. If it weren’t for Chucky, you wouldn’t have met Rusty. And we wouldn’t have laughed at Chucky’s antics (and your reactions)nor would we have heard of Rusty’s compassion for a young fellow who probably only needs someone to guide him.

I am grateful for these little sidetrack stories, as it takes me away from my problematic work situation.

Gloria, perhaps you were instinctively asking what you are to learn from this as I believe you have mentioned your background was in teaching.

We all need more laughter in our lives. May be that’s all this was. Spiritual comedy.

So, are you sure Chucky hasn’t liberated anything from your home?

In love & light,
Lynda

Do you see progress in your work situation, how you feel about it?

Possible message from Chucky’s entrance into my life:

Every woodchuck lives alone. Woodchucks do not have attachments — other than to food, of course. They probably never think: “Oh, I live alone. I have no life partner. I’m always on my own.”

God bless woodchucks — those that live in the outdoors!

I am not positive, yet it seems that Chucky made his way out of the house. Every once in a while, I think I may hear something but not at all sure. It could be my overactive imagination. I am still twitchy. In any case, I haven’t seen Chucky in a couple of days. I guess I’ll call Rusty and ask him to take out the live trap which Chucky has outfoxed.

Have you seen Benjamin Button? I thought it was an especially wonderful movie. It has quite a bit about sequence. If so and so hadn’t been late, or on time, if someone hadn’t stopped to tie her shoe, if this and if that then what followed wouldn’t have happened.

If it hadn’t been for Chucky, what would the blogs have been about?!!!
