I wrapped up my birthday month with a visit with my bestie. Escaping goats delayed my departure and I arrived shortly before dark with my cell phone on 2 percent, no charger in the car; and an uncertain journey back home.
“Faith,” whispered the voice from within.
On my way out, I noticed a sign for the first time for “Dancing Fox Farm, established **2023,” the year Rachel passed! I couldn’t help but laugh remembering my text to Rachel’s daughter on the ride there. I told her how much I loved the fact that Rachel’s final resting place was on a road that had “dancer” in the title given how much she loved to dance.
Then, also for the first time I spotted “33” in the road address (seeing 3’s since Rachel’s passing has become a shared experience by her loved ones).
I turned out of the parking lot hoping for the best but then my phone died and without GPS I ended up on an unfamiliar route, isolated and away from main roads.
“Faith,” came the voice again.
Suddenly, the landscape transformed. For the first time, I experienced Loch Raven Reservoir in all its beauty as the sun was setting. It was gorgeous! I’ve been a Maryland girl all my life but this was a first!
After a long, winding journey I finally spotted a familiar road and the route to home began — but not before noticing “33” in the address on the sign for Loch Raven Reservoir!
And then the cherry on top: as I watched the last video I took of the day I noticed a dancing green orb!
