CHAPTER 10

So needless to say, I don't think I slept too well. The next morning Tom had me on the phone telling me how cool he thought last night was, what we did. I really thought he was a moron with no idea what he was talking about.

I had talked to a Shaman on the ride home telling her about it, telling her about Tom opening up intentions with no concept of the consequences. She agreed and stroked my ego and helped calm me down some. Later on, someone else we both knew called and was shocked when I told her what happened and I told her how stupid I thought Tom was. I was really aggravated. We had gone to that house to help someone and ended up with an “almost” case of full-blown possession. WTF? Tom and I argued often through the day, and to sum it up, while I was driving through Douglas, Mass. for work, he told me I was just scared. Man, did that piss me off. I wasn't the one saying, “you're ok, you’re ok,” while my hand shook, holding a glass of water. I told him, “At no point was I scared Tom, I was concerned for the client, but that's it. What the hell did we do there last night? Almost get a woman possessed? How is that cool?” Needless to say, it got worse from there.

A couple of days later it was Halloween. After taking my children out trick or treating, I had asked Tom and a Shaman to meet me down Coggers. I thought that it would be a perfect Halloween treat for spiritual people. I mean hang out in the haunted woods? Sure, it’s Halloween, let's do it! Well, they blew me off. The friend canceled, and once she did, Tom did too. He told me, “You're not stepping foot in my house if you go down there!” I laughed because I was done listening to him. He had shown me what he thought spirituality was and moreover, he was afraid. I wasn't, I knew the secret, I had love in my heart and I was never going to be afraid again.

I walked down to the edge of the pond. It was a nice quiet night, the stars were out. I remember I was in a light coat, and for an October night, I couldn't even see my breath. I stood there on the shoreline, looking across at all the new construction, remembering the woods I had loved. What they looked like and all the good times we had had down there. I felt assured of the perfection of my life, of all lives, and I started opening my chakras as I do when I meditate. I stood there and slowly opened them one by one. All of a sudden from nowhere a freight train of wind came blowing from across the pond. I thought to myself, “Fuck, it's here,” and I turned and ran up the hill, reverting back to that scared child.
