It was the holiest of things

Maybe it's the new hair....or not?

The weirdest thing happened to me on Sunday morning! Not able to sleep in longer than 8am, I quickly showered, bummed around on the Internet and then strode outside into the blaring sunshine to grab a quick Starbucks hit. Carrying my wallet and house keys I was struggling to balance my coffee and tuna melt when I looked up into the eyes of an older Indian man (IM). Immediately he advanced

IM: ‘Excuse me but your third eye is very open, this means you are a very lucky person’

Me: ‘Oh, really, that’s lovely’

IM – ‘I am true, I am not selling anything, I am the holy man of my church, this is me (he shows me an old photo of a group people) and this is my guru. Your third eye is very large, you are a very lucky person. On October 15th you will be very lucky, you have 2 boys in love with you, you only like one. You are very lucky’

Me: ‘Oh, that’s sounds nice’

IM: You have not been very lucky in the last 2 years with this (me nodding vigourously) – He starts to write things on a small post it pad as he talks. – ‘Your husband, he is not very lucky, but when he meet you and marry he will become lucky too. Your first child will be a boy, he looks like his father, next child is a girl’

Me – (thinking) Riiiigggghhhhhtttttt!

IM – You look rich, rich is not about this, rich is about being rich in here (points to heart)

Me – (still thinking) Hmmmmm, jandels = rich – cool!

IM – (still scribbling, now so I cannot see – screws it up and then gives it to me)

Me – ‘Ahhhh, thanks’

IM – (ignoring me) ‘Tell me your flower, any flower……..(me looking blankly –Pansy pops into my head first)…..your favourite flower’

Me (that’s easy) - ‘Iris’
IM – A number below 100, any number below 100

Me – (easy again, my favourite) ‘3’

IM – ‘How many children do you have?’

Me (scoffing) – zero

IM – ‘You have never met me, we have never met before?;

Me – ‘Ah, no’

IM – ‘Ok, open the paper’

Me – (struggling to open the piece of paper, balancing wallet, coffee, a tuna melt and keys – no help from him AT all) ‘HOLY CRAP!!!!’

Ofcourse, astounded, I could not believe that the piece of paper had on it:
3
IRIS
0

Very strange, if anyone can explain that to me, then I would be extremely grateful.

Of course, then he asked me to put the piece of paper inside this wallet thing and then said something along the lines of ‘money for my church $200/$300 is not much’.

Open mouthed, I then walked away. Afterwards, I felt quite bad, should I have given him money? – has he put a curse on my third eye luck thing now?

Over coffee later that day I asked some friends this same question – all replied with definite ‘no’s’

What do you think?

All I can think about is ‘Please let him be right about the 15th – my man troubles of the last 2 years SOOOOOO need to be over! Night out mid week anyone?

Arohanui,
Love Amy xo
