Trigger Warning!
Snuffy’s kiss lingered on my lips for days. I felt like I was in an altered state. My heart had not smiled in years. The connection felt unique, familiar, and ancient. And yet he was a stranger. It made zero sense. But that was the point: I couldn’t use the mind to understand this connection, but the most powerful organ in the body— the heart.
During a HoneyColony meeting, a cardinal abruptly landed on my Miami window sill. I lived on the second floor, and bushes hid my window. I was taken aback. I didn’t recall ever seeing a cardinal in South Beach. I counted cardinals in Akron, Ohio, during the summers when I’d visit my cousins in “America.” I went every summer from ages 13 to 16. I used to also look for four-leaf clovers.
When the cardinal landed, I was on a Zoom call with some former employees—women who had become woke and wicked. They asked me if the man I was looking for had turned. Weeks earlier, I had told them I had a “date” since it was a rarity in my life. I joked, “My boyfriend I had not yet met had gone missing.”
The next time I saw Snuffy, he told me his ex-wife, who I later discovered was still his wife on paper, used to get a visit from a cardinal occasionally. He had no clue about my rendezvous. She believed it was a sign from her dead grandmother. Commonly, cardinals are thought of as a visit or message from a deceased loved one, reminding a person that they are not alone. Cardinals can also represent balance, devotion, endurance, and self-confidence.
I think he drew a beautiful tattoo of the bird and put it on her body. Why the eff was a cardinal visiting me?
I am still not sure but this sign also slightly spooked me out.
Four-Leaf Clover, Fireflies, & Harlequin Novels
To go down memory lane for a moment, I was a full-blown nerd and voracious bookworm. I used to get lost in my aunt’s massive backyard in Akron, Ohio. I communed with fireflies and ladybugs there, looked for worms, made mud pies, and burned ants with a magnifying glass. I loved looking under big rocks to see what insects hid there. It was sublime. I played with Barbies and watched The Twilight Zone late at night, sometimes during marvelous thunderstorms.
My soul was androgynous. And I quickly surmised that I was not like the girls around me. I was an ugly duckling, but little did I know that I was on a path to Swandom.
I read Judy Bloom, Stephen King, and Agatha Christie—one summer, I read Flowers in the Attic, a book series by V.C. Andrews. The dark, twisted story follows four siblings trapped in an attic, uncovering secrets of family betrayal and survival. When I read the last page of the series, I cried. I also read my older cousin’s Harlequin novels—many of them.
They were wildly popular in the 1970s and 1980s. Even then, I noticed the pattern in the compelling love stories. They often focused on themes like forbidden love, misunderstandings, and personal transformation. I guess that’s when I became a hopeful romantic.
Doggy Dog Images
In mid-June, a few days after my second Snuffy sighting, I was pouring myself a glass of water when I saw an image of a brown and black dog. I got a sense it was a pet he had when he was young. I texted him to ask, and he sent me a picture of a chubby Rotweiller.
The statistical probability was extremely low since I had no prior knowledge about the dog —perhaps 1-5%.
Then I said, “Okay, Great Spirit. What was the dog’s name?”
I scribbled something in my notebook before thinking about it because it didn’t work for me any other way. I wanted evidence if I happened to get it right.
Roger? Who names their dog Roger, I thought to myself.
When I asked him, he said his name was Ruger!
