I fear writing about it as it may lose something. It was a very special discussion I had with my daughter about it and I'd never be able to impart that. But I can try to share.
She saw it weeks ago, but only told me about it last night. I remember her mentioning something back then in passing but I was busy and didn't give it a second thought or ask any questions.
Luckily, she remembers it in great detail, and this is no surprise as my daughter has some interesting gifts and one of them is this crazy, wild photographic memory.
She was sitting in the lounge room "when the sun was kind of up and kind of not" waiting for me to get up and in the hall she saw a clearish-whitish "bird" (she first called it that) with wings and three fingers on the end of the wings, like the whole thing was covered in a sheet, but not (this initially made me think it was a dream or cartoon but something about her while telling me urged me to dig deeper).
I asked about the wings and she did this movement that looked like flowing is the best way to describe it, she twisted her arms around gently, and I could picture it in my head vividly what they might look like.
It "flew" toward her slowly "like it was going to hug her" and then shot into the wall and up into the ceiling and was gone. I asked how she knew it had gone into the ceiling if it went into the wall and she said because "a piece of it's wing was sticking out of the wall as it went up". She said it wasn't really a bird, it had no beak. So I asked what its face looked like and she said, "There was no face... no eyes, no nose, no mouth, nothing" (at which point I kinda started feeling scared) so I asked her how she felt, if she felt scared and she said she didn't feel scared, she felt "weird". I asked if it was more human in feeling or more animal, and she said, "hmm, more human".
That's the summary of our long conversation about it. She is very interested in knowing what "message" it had. I asked why she didn't tell me earlier and she didn't have an answer, so I guess that's just how kids are sometimes.
I'm kind of excited about it cos we haven't had that kind of action around here for a few years. We had a lot of it when DD was born, she seemed to bring a huge case of baggage with her that we had to deal with, both my skeptic husband and my more open self saw many things around and because of her for several years. It also seemed to be the beginning of a kind of spiritual journey for me that hasn't stopped, and I've never really understood that. I was also actually able to have out of body experiences, which I couldn't do before her arrival in my life (and haven't in several years, it all seemed to fall back a lot). That was a seriously eye opening experience.
My son hasn't been the same kind of awakening, so I'm not sure that it is directly birth related anymore. He has brought a whole other type of learning into my life, more emotional than spiritual.
I'll admit to feeling scared when I need to use the toilet in the middle of the night now.
Thanks all.
