[June 18th, 2016]
Apollo couldn’t have been more clear that today was His Day.
First, I woke up to see that the “card of the day” on my tarot app was The Sun.
I was grumpy in the morning, slowly waking up, but tried to keep in mind the card of the day and realized that I was grumpy over nothing. I started to let myself be happier, and immediately the day started feeling better.
While at work, a HUGE burst of creative writing inspiration hit me. I must have written three short stories and a few attempts at poetry over the course of the day. I ever so rarely have times where writing dictates I write rather than vice versa, so that was amazing.
Also, the Pride parade passed in front of the street. It lightened my heart so much, especially with the happenings of this month, and to see people hug each other and people even wearing trans flags as capes just brightened the light inside of me so much more than I could have imagined. I also ended up giving a guided tour to a group of people who had obviously been in the tour, and I had a lot of fun showing them around.
Then, my shift ended. I walked out down the street, and noticed this guy - about my age, blond hair, slightly taller than me, rectangular face, catching my eye. I didn’t recognize him, and wondered if I was supposed to. I ended up more blatantly catching his eye, and when we passed he said “hey” to me. I was very much ??????? bc I didn’t feel like he was anyone I’d met that day or ever before that moment. And the “hey” was quite purposeful. And for whatever reason, he reminded me of Apollo. Almost (if not) immediately as soon as I saw him. Not sure why, to be quite honest.
So I asked Apollo if he could send me a sign to tell me whether or not that’d been him or a sign from him, and...
I ended up meeting (very much last minute) a friend whom I had literally not seen in a year. We ended up watching videos of “Dark Souls” - the video game - and there was a clip where many, many times over, people recite an in-joke and common, well-known phrase: “Praise the sun.” That was all I needed.
So. That was my day. Any one of these things I probably/definitely would have overlooked on its own, but all together it was just a day filled with happiness and light and good feelings and creativity, and I really enjoyed it, especially being able to realize throughout that it was in fact a sign from Apollo, in any form. Having days like this just affirms my beliefs, however long they might last for the future. It’s a good feeling, and quite honestly I find a lot of peace in it.
