THE NIGHT WATCHMAN'S READING

The face I see in the picture shows strength of character but also vulnerability too. Although you have this strength, you also need stability in your life. You tend to see things that are not really there! Question not, as whatever you do, you will achieve it with perseverance and hard work.

I was concentrating on you earlier and kept getting something I don't really understand. If I say to you, does a pair of jeans mean anything? It's as if you wore them when you should not have done. I hope you understand this. I know it's obscure, but however much I tried to get some more on these jeans, it would not come.

I have two spirit people near me now and you very much resemble one of them. A lady and gentleman want to make themselves known to you and the lady says she could hug you to death, if you pardon the pun! She loves you dearly she says and I feel strong ties here with Grandparents. The name Jessie keeps coming into my head also. Does this name mean anything?

Don't dismiss it - ask if you cannot take it.

Who also is Tom? Have you ever worked with a Tom? Where this name comes into your life I have no idea, and please don't only think of family or departed ones.

Have you ever written a song or composed music? I see a piece of music tucked away and almost forgotten.

Who is Carrie? And now I see a large needle used for tatting. Now, in England, tatting is pieces of material or wool that mats were made of at home. Where have you seen homemade rugs?

I see a photograph in a wallet very dear to you.

Do you know a man called Jay? Name not familiar in England but that is what I get.

Lady watches over you from Spirit whilst you sleep. She wears very old fashioned glasses, you know, I call them 'Granny glasses'. Who is she?

Martin? Get that name strongly now. Does this name mean anything?

There is a gentleman in Spirit who had such trouble with his lungs, almost like Tuberculosis or a very bad breathing complaint before he passed. He wants you to know he is still around. Ted? Who is Ted? Name shouted out now.

In the house you live in at the moment, I can hear something banging, like a loose piece of wood. When weather is bad, it tends to knock away. If not your home, then where do you know of a house that has something needing repairing?

Near you I am picking up a road junction that is very dangerous, several vehicles have had 'prangs' in the past there. Can you accept this? The town is not for you. You would, in your heart of hearts, love to live in the countryside. I feel strongly that the country is where you feel safer and happier. You dislike noise and long for the peace and quiet. You are not the only one feeling this, I feel Chris also would prefer to be out of town.

Is it you that likes Johnny Cash records? I can hear him singing 'Boy Named Sue' very clearly.

Were you ever given the gift of a fountain pen by a company? See a presentation and someone opening a longish box with pen inside.

Have you been complaining about buying more clothes? I think you will be shopping very soon!!!!

I can hear the hymn 'Amazing Grace' being sung and it was loved by a lady in Spirit. Can you take this? She loved this hymn.

Who is Jessica? If you have no idea on these names that are coming to me, please ask around. I don't know where Jessica fits into this, hope you can understand the name.

If you have not heard yet, watch out please for healing needed for an elderly person around you.

A Spirit gentleman comes forward now and his eyes were very rheumy. Watered a lot and he had trouble seeing properly also. Not very tall, quite a small stature on him, oh and yes, he wore braces!! His hands were very veined also and he stooped slightly when walking. Slow walker towards the end of his days on Earth. He wants me to say hi to you, so I say HI from him.

Who was in the Navy? See white American uniform of the Navy so I feel this man served in warm countries. I don't feel he was a submariner, but he shows me an Aircraft Carrier and I am standing on the deck of an enormous ship.

Have you a lucky coin?

A man who passed over in his youth is with me now. He is talking about drums? Feel he had music in his head whilst on Earth. He wants you to have a beer on him, he says. I feel accident is how he went over. I do hope you know who he is.

Who do you know also who was in a plane crash? Feel fear greatly here at the end.

Paul is called out now. Is there a Paul in your life somewhere?

Who do you know called Jackson? Is there a coloured man also in your life? This man talks a lot and can make people laugh. Happy soul. Hope you understand this. If he is not around your aura now, he will be, so watch out for him.

Who was originally from Scotland around you? Who was or is called Mac?

I know I don't go into the future but my guides want you to know  that the path you are on at the moment is right, difficult but right and also I feel that you will do well in your future. You must concentrate more they say on what is in the 'here and now'. Live each day to the best of your ability (and you have much ability) and let the future come to you in its own accord. Don't try pushing too hard. I feel strongly that you are destined for other things also to benefit you in the future.

You have much love to give and popular too. Don't let the 'gremlins' ever sit on your shoulders.

And let others in too. You tend to attract people, but then push them away. Have more trust in yourself. Build on this knowledge. I see in the picture of you, a headstrong man, one who likes perfection in all he does. Nobody is perfect in this life, but we can only try our very best to understand ourselves and others.

God bless you and I hope that you can understand this reading. Keep it with you and every so often look at it. I always say to people, what does not make sense now, will hopefully be clear in the future.

THE NIGHT WATCHMAN'S RESPONSE

It took a lot of prodding, but I finally agreed to a reading by Angie. I have always been quite the skeptic involving psychic readings, astrology, tarot cards and the lot, but my skepticism has taken a beating with Angie's reading.

In a sense, I was also full of trepidation about getting a reading. I was hoping the reading would be all wrong for fear of seeing the ugly truth about me, or what I actually perceive as the truth.

Well, I did face it. Angie hit it on the nose. I have been told about my character, which I attribute to my parents and upbringing, but past personal experienced have led me to doubt my own abilities. It stems from a lack of focus. Being a dreamer, your imagination has a way of getting away from things that are going on around you. I'll use Angie's reading as a tool to remind me of this.

I had to laugh about the jeans. My recent weight gain has made me preoccupied with two of my favorite jeans in my closet. For the last few years, I've been able to keep my weight down by exercising on a regular basis, but a new "real" job schedule has made it more difficult for me to stay on a regimen. I want to fit in my old jeans!!! Now I have to go to buy more clothes.

Angie pointed out to several spirits, some of which I'm still trying to find the relationship. She identified two spirits, with one resembling me, possibly Grandparents, if I read her correctly. I have few memories of my grandpa since he died when I was eight. I had, as well as the other 20 some grandchildren, a special relationship with Grandma. She passed away at 87 around 20 years ago. So, I wouldn't be sure about resemblances unless I would be told by another relative. I believe Grandma and Grandpa look over all of us.

As to the lady who watches over me with the "granny glasses", it's very difficult because most of the elderly people I recall were from my childhood. So, I really don't have a strong connection and memories are distant. My mother's mother, Grandma Maime, did wear glasses. Basically an invalid, Maime didn't do much except sit in her chair with a card table set in front of her with a jigsaw puzzle. She was not all that close to my mother or anyone for that matter that I can see. In fact, as I am ashamed to say this, I always dreaded going to see her. Not that she was mean or anything, just that I felt no real connection. Maybe she's trying to do that now.

The spirit with lung problems. No doubt my uncle John. My mother's brother who died about 15 years ago from complications of emphysema. I know my mother and uncle had a tough life. As I get older, my mother is slowly sharing experiences of growing up and I'm beginning to understand why she is the way she is. My uncle John had a tough time through life, and as he started getting it back together, he was diagnosed with the lung disease. Uncle John was a big coin collector and gave several to me as a child. I never really had a "lucky coin", but do save ones from foreign places and ones that catch my fancy. It's been awhile since I thought about my uncle John, but I'm glad he's around. I hope he can convey that to my mother.

Music has been a deep passion for much of my life. Not as much now, but still a part. Angie mentioned a spirit who passed over in his youth who wanted me to have a beer on him. He also mentioned drums. Lucien (Lew) died a couple of years ago at 51. Maybe not in his youth, but he was youthful in his outlook. We played together for several years when I attended college in the 80's and was able to reunite with him a few years back for one of the most pleasurable performing experiences I've ever had. He was a gifted songwriter and fantastic guitarist. We both enjoyed each other's styles of guitar playing and it made for an interesting mix. But, he also know of my passion for drums, plus our affinity for the piquant taste of Leinenkugel's beer. I just recently had a dream about playing music with Lew. It was so real, it could have been Astral. I haven't played any music for a couple of years, but I do miss it so, and I miss him. Maybe the spirits are telling me to rediscover the joys of music and catch up with old friends.

How did music become such a big part in my life? Two words - Johnny Cash.

Angie's mentioning Johnny Cash and the song "A Boy Named Sue" almost made me drop to my knees. My first memories as a child were of listening to Johnny Cash sing that song. I would tie a string to a badminton racket and pretend to play guitar while singing "A Boy Named Sue". But not before spouting off his famous intro "Hello, I'm Johnny Cash" in the deepest voice I could muster. In fact, I got to meet him as a small child when I disrupted a press conference of his to get an autograph for my "Folsom Prison Blues" album. Still have the album, and had an article written about me in the St. Paul, Minnesota paper. So yes, Johnny Cash was a huge part of my musical journey. How would she know this??? It was so amazing.

Over the years, I have dabbled in music composing, both song writing and instrumental pieces. I've never given much thought to going public with them because I thought there were others much more capable than I to produce a good song. Or most likely, I was too chicken to show it to someone. But, Angie was right, there is stuff packed away in boxes.

I have an African American friend - Al. One of the most joyous souls of anyone I've met in my life. He was a regular at the place I bartended and I got to know him quite well over the past several years. We made an instant connection from the fact we both loved Johnny Cash and we both loved razzing each other with wisecracks. I recently found out his mother died and was relieved many who know him were able to show up to the funeral to show support.

Some of the names in the reading I'm still searching for the significance. I had an Uncle Paul, which we both share being the youngest child in the family. Our family will have a reunion this summer, and we usually get to have a pretty good chat when we meet up. As for Ted, Tom, Carrie, Martin and Jesse, it's a tough call. I've met so many people over the years because of living in different areas and having many experiences, I'm having difficulty understanding which of the people with those names have any past significance in my life, or if it's of future significance.

A funny story, though, which makes me think maybe the names have meaning in other ways. I was doing a DJ job for a wedding reception the day after I received Angie's reading and at least a dozen requests came in for the Rick Springfield song, "Jessie's Girl". Apparently, it was the bride's favorite song and I was obsessed in trying to find it in the collection. Then I remembered the reading and started wondering if that may have been the significance. Stranger things have happened.

There were a couple of minor details that really amused me. In the reading, Angie picks up a road junction she sees as dangerous. Well, I live right down from the railroad crossing that crosses over to Main Street in my community. Several townspeople have told us about people who've been killed by oncoming trains. In fact, my first week here, the railroad arm nearly came down on me as I was crossing to get home.

The other is homemade rugs. My mother, who refuses to let scraps of yarn go to waste, has been making homemade rugs most of her adult life. I would guess to say I've been the owner of at least a dozen throughout my existence. They sure came in handy with all the places I lived in that had hardwood floors.

The whole reading definitely convinced me there is a gift people have, and Angie is one of those with the gift. There are things in the reading I still need clarification on, but again there were parts of the reading she couldn't have had any way of knowing from anyone. But, as Angie told me, some of those things could be something ahead. So, it could be a guide for something coming up in the future. In fact, the reading has made me consider the condition of parents and friends, because maybe things have happened that I'm not aware of because of my lack of keeping in touch with others.

I think skeptics, like I have been, tend to think perfection is the only acceptable outcome for things like this. But, we aren't perfect. I find it funny that we are happy when a stockbroker guesses right on half of his picks, but if a gifted person misses a name or address, it's a hoax. Who's being the con artist here?

For those of you wondering, I did pay for the reading with my own money. It was definitely worth it. It is a useful tool and I hope many of you will take advantage of the great service this wonderful woman has to offer.
