^ friend, ya know, you have a way of stimulating reasonings
this (although you meant it as a joke) is not inconceivable when you listen to some songs that refer to watching someone walk around, starting with Lovely One, Shake Your Body Down, Streetwalker and now WBSS 08 and MJ would obviously need to be "creative" when trying to meet dang near anyone who is not a celebrity, especially given how shy he is.
Reading back over this account, I suddenly may be seeing something that is starting to make sense (i think)
MFlowers maybe I am getting this
It seems you're saying that when you wrote the poem and sent it to him (just curiosly, since you were not into celebs how'd you find out how to do that - their address is just in the backs of magazines at supermarkets? and MJ's at the highest time of his career? - if so,ok it was a rare blessing) that he responded to your poem with a visit and you noticed that he'd done so because you saw the limo and limos are not something that are common to that area you were living in, so at least you felt that you had pretty good reason to suspect that was him. That could definitley make sense to me. Now that being the case, (if you saw him, then he saw you too?) wouldn't it seem he might have followed you home and simply talked to you, without you having to go to all this to "figure out" that it was him in hindsight? - although if this is the case I can understand this too. Plus, he could have had a very good reason for not doing so, (such as you being married?) I just wondered if you'd wondered about that. Especially since you seem to be saying that he came around and 'met' with your husband when you weren't there.
Now I'm wondering if it could be that when he realized you were married, he declined trying to meet you because maybe he went to your house when you weren't there to try and 'scope' out the situaton? Then became "creative" when he saw (no disrespect to your ex-husband) the kind of person that your husband was and came back in disguise just to try and meet or see you personally, since he was so touched by your poetry? That could make sense.
If this could be answered it could clear up a lot of questions:

I feel the FOCUS factor is what's missing actually. Can you just clarify when he was in disguise what kind of disguise it was, and how you did realize it was him? Are you saying that the ray of sunshine was your "sign" that told you that was indeed him? Since you are very spiritual, that could make sense of how that could "communicate" that to you.
Are you saying that your husband gloating about having "a secret" was the fact of MJ came to personally meet the writer of the poem, when your husband was there but you weren't home? That could make sense too.
By saying that all of a sudden your husband wanted to be saved, are you suggesting that him meeting MJ (who'd come to visit you when you weren't there) placed the "fear of God" in him? lol That could make sense too and that him seeing the poster on the wall was a stark reminder to him of his own (seemingly already felt) deep personal insecurities, and so he overreacted and left?.
Are these the things you've put together things that you're saying made you REALIZE you'd met him?
Ok, this could indeed make sense, although I don't recall reading the part where you were face to face with him unless you saw him in the limo? in desguise? but you recognized his eyes? from somewhere? and later put together that it was him? because ... of the "signs" that came about from seeing things about him on the television?
I think (?) maybe I'm starting to catch this.
If this is what you're saying then it is feasable to me that this could have happened but I do wish you wouldn't make us work so hard lol but if this is the right track then I understand.
Apparantly this made sense right away to some people. I don't know how I could have missed it..
And if this happened, I'm going to take it that MJ may have come around trying to meet you, the author of the poems in various creative ways, right?
The more I look at this, you don't seem to be suggesting he was "courting" you in disguise I don't think. Just that he was trying to become 'acquainted' with the author of the poems himself, in person and did so by taking this approach.
Right? :flowers:
Afterall, he was sheltered, young, curious, interested in getting to know 'regular" people and felt somewhat 'hindered' by his fame
It took reading it again afresh to understand the relevance of all the details about your (then) lifestyle, but it may be starting to make sense because back then in particular, MJ would have to use some rather "creative" ways to simply meet someone he wanted to talk to, especially as much as he loves truly inspired poetry, and maybe he was hoping you were single too
Am I getting to be on the right track?
I went to MJ's 45th birthday party.. 5 years ago since yesterday,. Met my wife there.. Got about 4 feet away from MJ.
This is a beautiful story :wub: Sweet. Thanks for sharing.
yes...thanks...
it's just a litany of great things that happened to me over the three years i was homeless, until i got a roof over my head. i never had to beg for food..or anything. at times i was sleeping outside..and nobody attacked me. a lot of things happened in threes and sevens. three years homeless being the thing that stood out the most..because i have heard stories of people being out there for more than seventeen years...but a voice told me that my time on the street would last no longer than one of God's favorite and smallest numbers...so..i never felt a sense of hopelessness. don't get me wrong...i felt suffering..but, not hopelessness. this, by the way was one of three times i saw MIchael live, as of right now. twice during the trial..and, then, he was exhonerrated.
Your perseverance and faith are amazing, as well as your communication with God. That reminds me of something I'd heard about the number 3, being the energy of open communication and 7 being the energy of spiritual sensitivity. I don't know if that actually explains anything or not (numbers I mean) however, things did fall in line and you were indeed Divinely protected. That is awesome. God is awesome. :flowers: Thanks again for sharing.
