For the remainder of the day, and all night, my mind had a tough time wrapping itself around my experience. No traces of evidence remained to confirm my encounter, so my mind kept trying to get a handle on whether it had even taken place. In any case, I made no mention to my wife. I didn’t want to provoke her already suspicious regard for my approach to reality. Next morning, after she left for work, I sat, somewhat hopeful, on the cushiony grass of a slope near the solar panels, and continued with my puzzling. Weary after a restless night, I laid back, in the “nothing-so-fair-as-a-day-in-June”-sunshine, and drifted off almost immediately after closing my eyes, “just for a minute.”
The words, “Do you unnerstand you earthplanet don’t happy , very trouble…,” invaded my siesta. My earnest little visitor hadn’t apparently felt a need to wake me, before picking up with a conversation we hadn’t even started. His eager gentle shyness had clearly given way to serious, somber overtones. He seemed as disturbed as me about an ailing planet whose remarkable beauty had attracted his attention from afar, and as I learned later, it was what drew him into range of the irresistible power of its gravity. Then, out of nowhere, “Earthguys no appreciatate God gift.”
I was astounded “God’s gift? God? What…do you mean…? He returned my incredulity, “You not knowing God…? Creator of anything, whole enchilada, everwhichway what is there, God in it…in flower… tree…(preferring hugs)…I was confused…There was silence…then he added,“we more talk again maybe…I like …?”
“Yes, soon…me too…hopefully…I would like that…When? Is there a time I can expect you?
“Time?” What mean time?
“You know…like 10:45… I was surprised by my struggle to explain, when suddenly his face brightened… “ I get! You mean Now. Where I come, Time now, always …Now…we talk now…,” and as he faded to invisible “Seeing you now …!
