Other spiritual experiences of nature, I haven't. So this goes back to the North Fork of a nut sack again, and this is this is pretty wild story. So. So this is by the time I'd learned that the knock sack was a healing river for me. And I'd gone to it many times when I went through it when it's going through a divorce. And so I ended up moving back to my hometown of Spokane.

But every year we go back over to glacier to be in this cool place for a week and during the summer, you know, I can go kayaking, and Tamra can do whatever. And so the first year we went back, this is amazing. This was an amazing experience. So I went to the coffee shop, there's a little place called the lake and bakery which is a really great coffee shop. If you ever get there and then walk up the street in town glacier is a town of like one street, there's really nothing there's just a little village and then there is a trail that goes from town to the river and it's maybe the quarter to a half mile long. It's an unmarked trail.

Nobody knows where it is except a few of the locals and some of the kayakers who use it for a takeout. And so, I was walking down this trail, you know, this is after coming back to visit for my first time. And I've never seen anybody on this trail because nobody knows where it is. And as I'm walking down this trail, I get overcome, overcome, literally, with this feeling of gratitude. You know, I was thankful to the trees, I was thankful to the skies, thankful to the river. It was the most pure and deep feeling of gratitude that I've ever had, because I was so thankful for this area that had taken me through all this healing when times are hard, you know, and was always there for me.

And so, so as I'm walking down the trail in this moment of like, you know, deep gratitude, I hear somebody coming up from the other direction, like oh, this is a weird nobody ever comes in. So So the trail took a little jog there and coming in the other direction was a woman. She was about 30 years old, I guess. And on her hip, she had this kid who was maybe three or four years old. And we exchange pleasantries. You know, hi, how you doing?

He looks like you got your hands full there, something like that. And we both go on our way. And so I get down to the river and where the trail stops there's this big cowboy bar. And you know, it's from from the it's in the riverbed from high water. And so the river was down lower. So this Kava bar was exposed and right in front of me, as you're about to step on to the Kava bar, there's this rock that's about the size of an Oscar gay, and it's broken right down the middle.

And I've never seen a rock broken like that. And I'm a geologist, I've cracked open, you know, tons of rocks. And I opened this, this rock up and what is on there looks like the mirror image of the Madonna or the mother Mary. Like you I'm Jesus mom. And and I just look at it from I look up the river. I look down there and I think for a moment, and I realized I just had a visitation from, you know, an angelic spirits that come through in the physical.

And so, you know, I'm kind of in shock, I take this rock, and I run up the trail as fast as I can go because I want to say thank you to this woman and her kid. And she was Karen kid was a load, you know, and I'm in pretty good shape. And so I wrapped this trail as far as I could, there's no way they could beat me to the trailhead carrying the kid and I'm running. And so and there was no car at the trailhead when I started walking, so they, they Yeah, they couldn't just drove off. And so I run up the trail as fast as I can get there and get to the trailhead. I didn't see him, and I looked up and down the street, like nobody is there is no spurs on the trail.

Hmm. So and So I ran up and down town I go through into all the businesses, I go into the grocery store, I go to the bakery, you know, any place where somebody might go? Nowhere. And so it was like, I had an actual visitation from the spirit world through the physical. I had that happen one other time also, but that was like, phenomenal. I still have the rock too.

So yeah. Cool. Yeah, very close to
