crash and burn...
Crashed and burned a few years back...ran off the interstate doing 80, rolled my car two times and wrapped it around a tree. Not one of my better days. I returned a couple of days later to the scene and found a few personal items. As I surveyed the scene I became overwhelmed with emotion for the first time. I couldn't quite make out the skid marks...first they were there, then not, then there...only wider, then not, then the tree and my car landed about ten feet from the tree. I couldn't figure them out until it dawned on me...my car started sliding sideways and when there were no skid marks my car was flying through the air...Talking about something strange...then I find my entire rear windshield about thirty feet from the first place my car hit the ground. It must have shot out of the car when it hit the ground. What really hit me the worse was the thought of the people that witnessed the wreck. I truly felt bad for them...to see such a thing and probably thought I was dead. I have to thank god that I survived such an event. and to think I just climbed or was pulled out of my car and walked away was amazing...The strange thing was, my entire car was crused all around me. The only part of it that wasn't crushed was the drivers seat. The door actually opened and closed. The odd thing is how I began my journey...I had some beads that I had gotten Panama City the summer before and an angel necklace hanging from my rear view mirror. As I was backing out of my drive I ripped the beads off and gently stroked the angel asking her to look after me. I am not a religious person, but have had moments of clarity through the years that have truly allowed me to feel a connection, a spiritual connection. Anyway, I drive off on a journey that would never have a destination...
