Where to Begin?

L to R. Goldstone, Rhodonite, Lepidolite, Tiger Iron

I don't quite know what to say, I don't quite know if I should be saying it here, I am not sure how to get the words out, or if in fact there are any words to get out. *sigh* I am feeling a little strange right now, however, don't ask me to explain, cause, really, I just cannot, all I know is - well I think I know - is that it wasn't my choice at all. It just happened this way.

I got out of bed this morning, with a thousand things to get done, you know, a regular day as a Mum, assistant coach, student, volunteer, committee member. I had my list written up, sort of like a game plan of rushing around to get it all done in the best possible time, without forgetting anything.

Then there it was, in the middle of the local markets on my way to get apples, almost like I had been slapped across my face. I found myself staring at this stone, it was absolutely brilliant, I just had to touch it, everything around me disappeared completely, I just don't remember, nothing existed outside of this one stone.

It's touch spread through my fingers, I felt it twine through my wrist and up to my elbow. Almost like it was a capsule of liquid that was intravenously making its way through my blood or my nerves or something. *freak* I must at this point explain to you I am stone cold sober right now. I just cannot explain myself, but I never want to forget the feeling either, hence, my recording here and now.

I don't recall how long passed before the lady behind the counter come over to me. Her eyes were so green along with her tiny earrings and scarf. She told me I was holding Goldstone. I think it was obvious to her I had no idea about crystals or stones and she then went on to say it's good for relieving pain in joints. I didn't care, I didn't care at all, I just was so drawn to this stone, I could not stop looking at, or touching it. So I bought it. Now I am home, it has sort of hit me, the virus I have had recently with the swelling and aching in my joints, well there is no way she would have known about that at all. *interesting*

I managed to tear my eyes away from it long enough to realise there was a whole table of beautiful crystals and stones. The photo above is of the stones I purchased in order of purchase. I won't say 'my choice', to be honest, I think they chose me. (*!*)

I then purchased my apples, and headed for the bookstore because I want to know more. The Crystal Bible is what I found at the bookshop along with a few others, but this I recognised, as the lady at the stall had this very book on her counter.

I googled Goldstone and you can go Here if you want to check it out. I am about to read up about my other purchases as well.

Tell me, has this happened to you before, has something reached out to you so strongly and 'claimed' you this way before? I would love to know I am not alone here, I would love to know if perhaps the natural forces of nature are getting my attention.

Thank you for stopping by my place today, and I hope you come back, I didn't mean to scare.
