I Met A Man Named Michael.. or was he?

we were having a discussion by the highway... he had been some places and was resting beneath the shade of an awning... taking a rest from some strife and issues connecting with others.... i was honored to meet him and i approached him as we connected in a spirit of seeking, expressing, and understanding...

he appeared very distraught to me and i cared.... i wanted to listen, hear what secret he held within so deeply and was struggling so hard to express...

i listened a very long time to his inner struggle, allowed him to find his words and sought ways to understand him... he talked of mathematical equations and scientific things..... pamphlets he had read, inner knowledge from places that are locked and shadowed... i listened very carefully... he seemed to have a need to say these things to someone...

when we finished i understood what he had been talking about and i drew a diagram of it.... it is a very interesting object i would say at least because it became cylindrical in the end and it was an object which flowed though and beyond space... it was a container and it held all that i knew and all that i loved and it traveled in a path that went up and down and around and made love wherever it went towards.... i like this object, this drawing, it still teaches me.... and to me, he was no human, but a spirit in human form... I pray today for you Michael......

this is a beautiful story! thank u for telling it to us

Michael was probably distraught from being so very misunderstood...those that can spread love intuitively & dramatically get clobbered in this world especially the intelligent world if he was gifted he was probably surrounded by many, many closed minded people who did not try to understand him at the most, verbally and emotionally abuse poor Michael in the least......my heart goes out to the Michaels for stories drawings and places come from years of abysmal heartaches..he probably reached out to so many people only to gte his weak heart crushed over and over....sometimes the most bold are actually brittle boned & hearted........

thank you for letting me get my thoughts and feelings out here, to share what ive felt, wondered about, experienced... Michael had something very important to tell others but he appeared to find conflict in his ability to relate... i didnt interfere with his thinking, i allowed him to express his thoughts his way... at times he didnt know the word, i tried to help him find it and together, we worked nearly 3 hours in trying to bring his emotions and ideas into the open for examination... when i gave him the time, he had much to say.. he appeared very relieved when we were finished and i have to say i learned very much from this soul... he seemed unburdened when we were done.. his last words to me were "Finally, one human understands!" i felt very blessed and it was time very well spent

the drawing became a multidimensional mandala...

Now you know why I like to hang out with the homeless folks in my town. Their stories are often more interesting than those of the most learned and priveleged of people.

It appears to me you made Michael's day - and he made yours. Way to go!

sending all my love always ((KathyM)))))))

yes I agree with kathy when I worked as a hostess at a resturant I would me so many different people with different storys and attitude but there were a few older people that would tell me peacful happy stories of the days they were growing up and how life was like for them and u feel different inside like u can connect or something to these people like theres just something special about them those were the times I enjoyed my job lol

Fooled again. Thought this was another love story between a woman and a man. One that If I read would only take me to that place again. I think I know someone much as you describe . A hidden love that makes me cry.
Who unsuspecting is the most glorious.

nowhere, Ive been very lucky in my life to have met alot of people of this type. Alot were homeless and shared the street with me when I was homeless too. Ive learned some incredible things from this.

One man i met lived downstairs from me, and noone in the building talked to him because he was "strange" in their eyes and disheveled all the time. Well one day I was walking to the bus and he was getting on the same bus, and we started talking. It turned out he was very nice! he talked of Jesus and of his faith, which was very powerful. He talked of his guitar which he would play everyday it was nice out right below my window, and he said that he played for God. He offered me blessings and we spent some time chit chatting about this and that. It was wonderful and I left the conversation feeling peaceful and happy.

Its amazing what we can learn from those who are misunderstood.

one wonders at times tho... i think Michael is still homeless and cold...

Michael is probably homeless...cold...and proud...he probably gets very creative with ways and tendencies to work with, not against, the homelessness...as faras the cold...I am sure you warmed him up emotionally

he seemed relieved that day, in that moment he was jubilent... i never saw him again but i hope he remembers me, thank ((June))))

Um, it's kinda hard to forget you, NWTR

When we receive our first frost warning at the end of the autumn season, my thoughts go immediately to our homeless population. The shelters are either full or too dangerous to spend the night. They are forced to sleep out in the elements in flimsy clothing.

I woke up to a temp of 4 degrees, with a wind chill of -16. It's truly a case of survival of the fittest, and it's a heartbreaking "game" to watch. All we can do is root for our friends and pray they will be allowed to see spring flowers again. I'll join you in rooting for Michael.

last night i was outdoors... it wasnt -15 like the other night, i think it was near 0 Fahrenheit... i was warm because of two good sleeping bags and a wind shelter... its tough out there for those guys... i hope to go into services for the homeless before long.. the guys at the American Legion are doing a lot to help the unfortunate too....
