Falcon in a city restaurant!
Yesterday, I went to see our mother's grave. While returning I met a waiter who knew me. He wanted me to dine at his place again for I had been absent from there since months. I had paid him good tips always. He might be missing that. The owner of the restaurant is a strange spiritual person and I feel a psychic connection with him as well. Any ways, I promised the waiter to go to the place again and see the owner. I just had to change my route to the home. They were happy to see me after long. We talked. I enjoyed the chat as well. In our previous meetings, the owner had mentioned about wanting me to write. It again matched one of my psychic visions. But I did not know what should I be writing about. I have translated a British children's story book though but I am not sure what am I supposed to write exactly. My grand father had been kind of a spiritual guide to some 100 or so followers while my great grand father was converted to Islam from being a Sikh. He was the only one to do so among 12 brothers. We are from a martial caste and rarely our blood may want peace but any ways here I am listening to the Quran in the Taraweeh prayers this Ramazan for the whole month. I am not good at fasting though. Well, I asked the owner as to what he wants me to write. He said that write about the strange events that occur around him. I asked him to mention one. He said that they had a falcon come to their restaurant and stay their for hours. The market people gathered him as the price of the bird is in lacs. But the owner did not let any one touch it. It flew away after resting for a few hours. The owner said it had beautiful eyes. While he told me I was wondering why will such a bird which prefers wilderness for its haunts will come there? One theory I developed was that he was a young bird who was looking for its territory. Falcons have been known to fly thousands of kilometers after they learn to fly. It was a strange event. Any ways, this journal entry goes to Mr. Ayaz who is the owner of the restaurant. He is a very special person. He can handle more than 20 dishes in one meal time. Amazing. I must add that a very famous pop singer of the 90s in Pakistan, viz.: Mr. Junaid Jamshed dined at his restaurant too. A srange thing that the singer quit pop music to being a very very religious figure later. Here you go, Mr. Ayaz! You are a good friend. I will write more about your if as you want me too.

Hmmm . . . I did not know that you are muslim! I really thank you for sharing this story as it tells us so much about you that none of us know about. I know it is hard to come out as a follower if Islam, especially in these days of a \"holy war\" that reminds me of the horrible crusaded to take over the Holy Land from the \"infidelds\" (then, followers of Islam). There has always been a terrible friction between Xtianity and Islam that is ill founded. I want to hear more. Maybe Mr. Ayaz is correct: write for us for now for we need it! Thank you so much. Hugs.

Mr. Ayaz had mentioned about having a dream of seeing a saint who passed away 2 or 3 centuries ago before his annual festival was held. My own belief in the religion comes from one or two unexplained visions during my sleep and my true dreams. I saw Mr. Ayaz tonight again and he mentioned about his visit to Makkah. I myself want to understand this obsession of \'Muslims\'. I have studied the Urdu translation of the Quran word by word but I do not have that urge to visit Makkah. I guess the key to this obsession lies in spirituality. I wonder if the Westerners here have heard of \'Sufis\'! They are spiritual people. May be I am just stepping into the world as a beginner! Thanks for the comment. Hugs back!
It looks like this is an old post but it is very interesting. The Falcon can symbolize the sun or war. As a spirit guide or animal totem the message is to take time to focus. Time to focus on goals or time to strategize. A falcon can also symbolize a light that shines in the darkness. In Christian circles this light would represent the holy spirit. You are Muslim and I know very little about your customs and culture. I believe you may indeed be a visionary. Please post some more journal entries. Thank you for sharing.
As a fellow son of Abraham, I say pay attention to this dream. God gives us visions for God\'s own reasons.
