Do you believe in runners? People sent by the Angels to tell you something, teach you something, or just make you aware that the Angels are around? I do. I truly feel that they are being sent to me, and in saying that, I realized that I missed a very big runner just the other day.
All three of us were in the Center that day. Julie had just finished with a Client, Jen was outside getting some air, and I was sitting at the desk finishing up some bookwork on the computer. I didn't hear the gentleman come into the Center, I just looked up and he was standing at the beginning of the dance/yoga floor. I guess it was because I knew that Jen was outside, so the sound of our bell above the door wasn't audible to me. Julie spoke to him first. This is an unsusual event, to have a male stick around or even wander in without an appointment as our "window" is filled with belly dancing costumes! It isn't a manly place, though Julie and I do have male Clients.
Normally, when a male wanders in, he asks a few questions and then he wanders out again. This time, he just kept walking in and perched himself upon one of the bar stools at our desk and began conversing with us. Jen came back in and walked around the desk to the Center's computer and I continued at my computer. Julie was sitting on the other bar stool across from the gentleman. I will not lie, we were a bit uncomfortable as we had no idea what it was that he wanted. He mentioned how easy it would be to rob us, we just looked at each other and said that it would be hard actually as there was no money there.
Then he started to tell us about a wave in Australia that killed and injured several people. He wanted Jen to look it up on his facebook page. We told him that wouldn't be a good idea, for him to give us his facebook information, so Jen looked it up through a search engine. None of us had heard of this disaster, but he was correct, it was there for us to see. He continued on to tell us about another view that showed people being killed and swept away. We said that we would rather not look at that footage. He asked us if it didn't make us want to go and help those people.
This was the strangest encounter that I think I've had in recent years. He stayed for a very long time. We were uncomfortable the entire time. He kept talking about things that were bizarre to say the least. The things in this world that were happening, people that were hurt, and asking us if we didn't want to do something about it. He kept asking us "what are you about?" He said several things that COULD have led into a spiritual conversation had I, we, just opened our mouths and let the words fall out. If I had spoken my truth. Instead, I kept working very hard on my computer bookwork, wishing that he would leave. He started talking about 2012 and changes in the world. We all were making the attempt to tune him out by this point. He left soon afterward, riding off on his bicycle.
I felt, after I had a chance to think about it. That I actually missed a runner. I believe that he was sent, in this uncomfortable manner, so that I could see beyond what my eyes were telling me and I could speak my truth. I made a judgement and I feel that in hindsight, I was wrong. I have been working on the lesson of speaking my truth and I just remained very quiet.
Upon talking with Jen and Julie I realized that both of them were feeling the same way, that they, too, had missed a runner. Each of us feel that he was there for a different reason, but we each had a personal reason that he was there as a messenger for us.
Never judge anyone because of outside appearances. Look a bit deeper than that. Don't ignore the voice in your head that reminds you of someone this person seems like and then ignore the voice and let your human ego take charge. I missed an opportunity the other day to help someone that was looking for something other than Reiki, Massage, or dance. Something drew him into our Center and I think that we failed to provide what was needed. I also believe that we are never judged in such instances, but that the opportunity will arise again, a different runner will appear, and I will do better next time.
