i believe you are visited by what you need most to see at the time, what will have the impact needed. the lesson is only learned if we actually "see" what is going on................hard to do, its hard to break through the personal bubbles, everyday life etc... to notice the small things that mean so much......proper meditation, breathing etc.. can help...... too bad it is so difficult to just live in the momentI believe even animals and birds can be used as earthly angelics with a message so yes, indeed!
