“Life isn't as black and white as many would like to think. It's colorful beyond any limits and is a continuance of something far greater.”
I woke up strapped to a table in a reclining position.
I saw an unleashed, unchained giant praying mantis standing in front of me.
He said that I had found him ugly, and that was why I saw the light instead of him.
He said, 'Would you know an angel if you saw one?'
I was on an operating table, and they were at the top of my head.
They would do something to my brain to take me to a deeper depth.
I feel that a great deal of this has been met through my husband and children.
