She Had Knowings

It was in the back booth at the Stagecoach Cafe in Springhill, LA. The couple in the booth behind me had obviously been there a while when we arrived and showed no signs of leaving when we departed 45 minutes later. They were in a serious conversation about something and weren't anywhere near being through.

I don't usually eavesdrop on my fellow diner's quiet conversations, but something the man said brought my brain to a screeching halt.

"She had knowings about (mumble, mumble) and she chose to take no action....

Wow!

"She had knowings about..."

Not "she knew," but she had knowings.

Knowings sounds like some kind of psychic gift to foresee the future. Not merely to see, but to touch, taste, feel, and experience an event that had not yet, but ultimately would, come to pass. A knowing may be a kind of spiritual, emotional infusion in the bones as well as the soul. That's a pretty profound ability.

I suddenly felt as though I had been dropped into a real-life episode of The X-Files, and it was Mulder and Scully sitting in the booth behind me.

"But Scully, she had knowings about it and she chose not to do anything and just let it happen. She can somehow transport herself, or rather her essence, but in a physical form, through time into the future. While there she can somehow manipulate the outcome of events. Of course it's possible Scully, it's as plain as the nose on your face."

"Mulder, there's no such thing as knowings. It's just some type of hallucinogenic manifestation of a psychotic brain. Humans can't possibly effect the outcome of events that haven't happened yet."

The Truth Is Out There.

It may be out there in Springhill, Louisiana.
