STM, I think that is a wonderful experience, and so fascinating. I can understand about the beauty of it all, as I had an experience , that showed me the beauty the trees and plants , when my Father appeared before me and did a sweeping motion with his hand and said this is where I am. I think you did have an out of body experience. I have also, just before falling asleep seen little towns and parks and would see up so close that I could see the veins in the leaves. I believe our fur babies are with us and watching over us along with our loved ones. Our world is changing so fast. It would be so wonderful if the veil would be lifted and we could all see our loved ones in all their beauty. I really enjoyed reading about your experience.
