Miraculous Moment #8 - Chapter 1 of - When I My "Boss Upstairs" Gifted me with - My First of "2 Dragonflies"

Hello Again

Welcome to Chapter # 1 of Miraculous Moment # 8

And so... OK Then -

Picking up - & Continuing on - From Where I'd Left off - Back In Spiritual Journey # 6

Please Re-Note That -

I'd Recently... During That Time Period in My Life -

Packed up All of Our Belongings...

In The Condo Where We'd Been Residing on the West Coast Shore line

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

& That the Day Before the Movers had Arrived - To Take All of Those Boxes...

And Transport them to Our Next Place of Residence - On the East Coast -

That - I'd Also - Given up My Rite to Drive...

Solely Because My -

"Spiritual Boss Upstairs"

Had "Instructed" me to

& Although My Stubborn-Brakes - Had Been "Somewhat" Dragging - While doing so

& That -

As Everything Had - Thankfully - Managed to go as Planned -

The Day Following my Handing in My Licence...

With The Movers Emptying the Suite on Schedule -

While Also in the Process - Giving Us Enough of a Timeline After They"d Finished -

To Be Able to Give The Place a Proper Final Cleaning -

Before Handing over the Keys... to the Realtor - That morning

That We'd "Fortunately" - Managed to Make it in Time -

to the Airport Terminal - That Same Afternoon -

& Successfully Catch Our Flight "HERE" - to -

Sarasota Florida -

Which is Where - the Next Emerging-Stages of My -

"Pre" Dragonfly-Journey -

Was About to Begin

As - "Longboat Key Resort & Marina"

Located in Sarasota Florida -

Is In Fact - Where We've Been Planning - for a Few Years Now -

To Set Forth From -

As We Head Out on - Our "Retirement" (& Nautical Bucket-list) - Sea-journey Cruise -

Along With a Couple That We'd Met While RV Camping - 5 Years Prior to This Trip

& During Which Nautical-Voyage - We'd Planned on Heading - First -

Southward From Longboat Key Marina - Directly to the Public Marina in Key West -

On a Straight-through - 21 hour (& Hence a Combined - Day & Night) Voyage -

as There's Actually No Place to Stop or Anchor Between those 2 Marinas

With Our Departure-time from "Longboat Key Marina"... Scheduled for 12-Noon

& With 9am the Next Morning - Being the Planned Arrival-time in - Historic Key West

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

& Then - After Stopping Over in Key West - We'll Be Heading Northbound -

Along the Outer Shorelines of the Eastern U.S. Coast

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As Well as Cruise - Northward up the Intercoastal Channel...

Whenever the Depth of This Boats Sea-draft -

Will Allow us to Use the Inner-channel Route

With Our "Final Destination" Being -

The East Coast Shoreline Property - That We're Permanently "Relocating to" -

And Hence - Where the Moving Vans - Once We've Confirmed With their Company - That - We've Actually Now Arrived (Docked) There -

Will Be Delivering - From Their East Coast Storage Facility -

All of Those Recently Packaged - Boxes & Memorabilia Etc Items, from the Condo...

That I'd Mentioned - I Was Packing and Taping shut - Back in Chapter # 6

Back While I Was Still - Completely Unaware of...

Both The - Spiritual & Symbolic Meanings... Behind the Dragonfly...

& Especially What the "Red One" - Shown in The Picture Below - Represents -

& of Which I Had Actually Taken That Marsh-reed Photo of... Just a Few Days...

Prior to -

My Husband & I Boarding The Boat... at Longboat Key Marina

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'll Eventually Learn - That the Red Dragonfly is "Symbolic" - of a -

New Beginning - & a Whole New Journey - in One's Life

Um... You Know What?...

I Should Likely -

Before "Voyaging" (Pun Intended) Any Further into This Chapter...

Perhaps - "ALSO" - Mention that -

Along With My Husband & I -

& Our Two "Human" Friends

!!!!!!!!!!

That Our "Four Legged" Family Members - or Should I Say -

The "Soon to Be" - Literal "Sea-Dog" Crew...

Had Also Been - Prepped a Geard-up - For that Upcoming Voyage...

Just In Case - They Suddenly Decided to Chase a Sea Gull -

Off the Back Deck!

And so - With Four Humans - Ready to Cast Off -

And the 4 "Four Legged" Sea Dogs - All Safety-Geared & Ready to Go -

We Then Began Cruising Southward - From Sarasota Florida...

Along The U.S. South-Western Pacific-Coastline...

Towards "Key West"

Which is (as I Mentioned) Located at - The Farthest Southern Tip of Florida

Um - Now Just in Case You're Not - Already Aware of This... "Unimportant" Fact...

Perhaps You Might Want to - Take-Note That -

The "Historic" Downtown-area of -

"Key West"

Is Quite Well Known... & Especially By The Locals... to Be The Place -

Where Both the - Chickens & Roosters - are Ongoingly Seen... Calmly -

"Crossing the Streets"

While Flaunting They're Bright Red-Hoodies & Colorfully Feathered-attire

& of Which -

Via My Observing (while photographing) That Fellow

(Who's Seen "Street-crossing" in Both the Above & Below Pictures)

More Closely

!!!!!!!

Suddenly Made Me Both - "Realize"...

& Then -

Seriously - "Ask Myself"

????????

"HEY - NOW.... !!!!!"

"Why Hasn't" - Anybody... Ever Been Asked...

The "Riddling-based" Question" -

"Why Did The - "Rooster" - Cross The Street?"

????????

Unless of Course - it Has "Always" Been -

Quickly (& Human-Logically) Assumed -

That The Most "Obvious-based" Answer -

When it Comes to a -

"Rooster's - Male-Based - "WHY" Reasoning"

?????????

Would More than "Just Likely" Be -

"So That He Could - Strut on Over -

& Cockingly-Introduce Himself -

To The "Hot-Redhead-Chicken" -

That He's Just Recently Noticed - Is Standing -

"All Alone" on -

The "Other Side" of - That Very Same Street!"

??????????

BUT THEN -

!!!!!!!!

While Processing that "Rooster" - Rather than a "Chicken" - Questening Thought?

??????????

I Suddenly Began to Wonder -

If The Street-crossing Chicken - Whom We've Been -

"Questioning For Generations Now"

Didn't Actually "REPEATEDLY" Cross-over All of Those Roads (& Numerable Streets)

And Even a Few Fields...

IN THE FIRST PLACE!!!!

So That She Would "Hopefully" Be Able to (Once Again) Get Away From -

A Really - "Annoying Rooster"

????????

Whom PERHAPS - Simply Wouldn't Accept - The Frustrated-Chick's -

Polite Rejection of Him!

????????

OH Dear - Sorry About That...

BUT - Like I've Said Before...

That's The One Conversation-Problem - or Basic "Discussion-Hurdle"...

That I'm Having to - Still "Try" to Overcome - When it Comes to -

"Verbalized Conversation-Writing"

As I Am Once Again - Allowing Myself to - Get "Vocally-sidetracked"...

From The Main "Verbally-written Topic" of these "Thought-Dictated-words"

!!!!!

Oh Well...

I Think That I'll Just - Go Ahead & Blame - The Rooster...

As We All Know That - It's More Than Likely - All "His" Fault Anyway

After Our Departing From Key West -

We'd Continued on - Up The U.S. Atlantic's "Eastern" Coastal Shore Line...

Combined With - & As I've Already Mentioned - Also Voyaging -

Periodically in & Through - The Intercoastal Channels...

Whenever the Boat's Draft Level was Allowing Us to Do So

And While - of Course Continually Enjoying -

The Ocean's Fresh Salty-Air - Combined with All of The Scenic & Really Interesting -"Historic" Coastal Towns & Harbors

& of Course - as There's no Way For Me to be Able to Include The "Whole Cruise" -

As well as the -

"Spiritual - Message"

Together In Just a "Few Chapters"

(I'll Perhaps - Try Sharing Special Moments From that -

"Bucket-list" Sea-Journey - in other "Future" Blog Postings... However... )

For Now - I'm Going to "Get Back on Track Here" -

And Begin Sharing With You - The Current Back Then - Moment...

When We -

(Along With Our 4 Legged Deck Hands & the Two Close Human-Friends)

Were Heading Into...

Our - 5th Week of This Cruising Adventure...

And While (of Course) Taking Turns at - Who Gets to Sit in The Captain's Chair

For it Was - On This Particular Day...

While We're Traveling Between 5 to 10 Miles - Off of The Eastern Shoreline...

Prior to Our Docking-Arrival in St Augustine.

& as I Sat There - All Alone - Relaxing on The Fly-Bridge Lounging-Area of the Boat...

With No Daily-Chores or Cruising-Duties Beckoning to Me

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That I "Suddenly" - Began To have -

Not Just Another one of - The Regular & Daily -

"Giving Thanks"

Casual Discussions - With My -

"Spiritual Boss Upstairs"

But Rather -

I - Suddenly Began to Get Into -

More of a -

Worrisome & Frustration Based..

"Mortal-Questioner"

Prayer-Conversation...

With My -

"Spiritual Guide"

???????

As I Was - Suddenly - Once Again -

Emotionally-Searching for Some Form of a -

"Spiritual Confirmation"

Either -

"By" - "Through" - & or Directly "From" -

"Them"

Which Would Help Me to Confirm - Once Again - That -

I Had - in FACT - Heard

"THEM"

Correctly...

Back - When I Had Followed Through With -

"Their"

Previous - Spiritually-delivered Request - For Me To Actually Give up -

My Right to Drive...

& of Which I Had Obediently Fulfilled For -

"Them"

Because -

"THEIR"

Request STILL - Made - "Absolutely" - No Sense - At ALL - to Me!

????????

& so - Hence - I Was "Once Again" -

While Sitting There - in Solitude - on that Quiet Flybridge

"Emotionally-Wondering" -

"What Good am I Going To be... To Anybody Else... as Well as to

"My Spiritual-Boss" - "Upstairs"

If I Cannot Drive - And Thereby - Be Able to Leave That Remotely Located Property;

Which We're Currently Cruising Our Way Towards

Oh Dear... I Just Realized That - Unfortunately...

Due to - That "Rooster Conversation" - Side-tracking Me...

Right at the Very Start of Today's conversation...

!!!!!!!!!

Along With the Fact - That I'm Always "Trying" to -

Keep Each One of These Vebalized Blog-Discussions...

At Around Just a 12 minute - Written-conversation - Reading-Length

!!!!!!!!!!

That I'm Therefore - Hence - Going to Have to - Continue This Current-Discussion...

Which will be Based on - My Sharing with You -

Both -

The Conversation-Prayer request - That I Was About To Have - With My -

"Spiritual Boss Upstairs"

As I Sat There Alone... on That Fly-bridge...

"Worrying What the Future Actually Held in Store for Me"

!!!!!!!

Followed Next - By The "2" Ways In Which

"They"

Had in Fact - Answered That Particular Prayer Request...

"TWICE"

For Me...

Via - & Through - The Symbolic Meaning of -

 The DragonFly

In The Next Posting - & Which I Promise to Stay Topic-Focussed on

And so - Until We're Able to Continue this Discussion...

In the - Miraculous Moment # 8 - Ch. # 2 Entry

!!!!!!!!!!!!

Please Remember That -

The Same -

"Spiritual Boss Upstairs"

That Had Brought the Dragonfly - & What it Symbolizes - Into My Life...

And Has Miraculously Guided & Helped Me - During Every day of My Mortal-Journey

Amen

Can Do The Very Same - for Both You & Your Friends & Loved Ones

Amen

As All That You (or any Person) Have to Do - is to Simply Ask For -

"Them"

To Be With You - During Every Moment in Your Mortal-Journey...

Just Like -

"They"

Are Continuously With Me...

And to Thereby - In The Process - Always Remember - That You're Never Alone

!!!!!!!!

Oh -

And Again...

I'm Sorry That This Written-Conversation - Is Going to be Requiring -

2 Separate Chapter-entries - in order to Complete it...

!!!!!!

However - Just "Please" Remember -

That - It's ALL The Rooster's Fault...

That I Got Sidetracked - in The First Place

To Be Continued in -

Miraculous Moment # 8 - Chapter # 2
