This is just a short, personal story. A couple days ago, I was adjusting the nylon cords on my weed-wacker, stupidly about 4 feet off the ground, rather than inches close to the ground as I normally do. The spring on the mechanism fell off and disappeared. Without the cheap spring, the relatively expensive weed-wacker does not work. I was in the middle of a (gray coloured) gravel patch and of course, springs bounce. The spring was also the same gray colour as the gravel.

In 3 separate periods, probably totaling 1 ½ hours, I methodically searched an extended area around the gravel patch and the surrounding grass. I created mental grids in my mind, calculating the maximum bounce, and methodically scanned them inch by inch, grid by grid. I did this time and time again, with increasing frustration and puzzlement.

Yesterday, at the end of my wits, it suddenly came into my mind to try to locate it energetically, using my open hand as a kind of super, metallic scanner. I scan the energetics of humans, animals and plants but never thought to extend it to metals. I started my novel, scanning project and was surprised that my hand was immediately energized. After less than 2 minutes, my hand picked up enhanced energy from a planter box with young tomato plants. My first intellectual conclusion was that the plants had enhanced energy so that was to be expected. However, I decided to go with the flow and explore further. The errant spring was nestled in the planter, hidden under the low-lying leaves of a tomato plant… about 4-5 feet from where the spring dropped.

What does this mean? Perhaps nothing… perhaps something!
