The Grateful Fly at Mary’s House

I was visiting my older friend, Mary Griggs, for piano playing and conversation. We had connected through teaching children and performing in plays together at Unity of the Valley in Eugene, Oregon. I believe this creative, dynamic, fascinating woman was about 93 at the time. She made me a a deal, that if I took over as Director of Youth Education, she would teach me to play piano. I think it was just a way for her to teach me deeper fundamentals of Metaphysical and New Thought philosophy. The house was very still and quiet. But that day there was a large single fly buzzing through the house. We could hear it buzz all the way to the back of her home to the Master Bedroom. She admitted it was bothering her, “but”, put her hands together in a prayerful way, “blessed life”. She wouldn’t kill it. I told Mary I was an Animal Communicator and I’d had some luck communicating with flies and other insects in the past. I asked her to open up the sliding glass door when he came and she stood by. I sat down on the couch perpendicular to the door and connected with the fly. I received love, expanded that love, and sent love and felt our kinship. I send gentleness, good intent. I send it a picture of the path it could fly to me, and that I would let it out into the open air and sunlight again, which is what he was looking for! We could hear the fly buzz his way back down the hallway into the living room where we were and he flew directly to me into my forehead right between my eyes! He bounced off and Mary stood witness to all of it! Then I sent him an image of the sliding glass door, light, and the outside. Mary opened the sliding door. The fly flew out the door, then as I stepped into the doorway, he flew straight back to me and again flew right into my forehead between my eyes. He bounced off and flew away into the sky. I sensed real gratitude for his freedom and delight at being acknowledged as a sentient being.
