Collecting more stories of people's spiritual experiences

I was sitting in front of Border's again today collecting stories of people's spiritual experiences in exchange for drawings.  Here are the ones I collected today.

Anonymous- Takes niacin and stretches.  Niacin makes one aware of muscle groups.  Closest thing to a spiritual experience. Then I smoke pot and it makes me more aware of my mind.  It's an alternative to compulsive masturbation.

John W- One day two years ago, a fall day just like today.  I was at a park along the Huron River, looking across the river.  That park and trail was the last place my son and I walked before his death.  He died the evening after the walk on that trail.  As I was looking across the river admiring the fall colors in the river of the water... Trees were reflected in the water.  I asked God, I said will I see or feel more experiences of his presence or God's presence.  And maybe five seconds later I finally saw a long stem rose floating in the water, floating towards me.  Of course I was shocked and immediately felt this was an answer to my question.  The Rose was ten feet off the embankment so I couldn't reach it, but with a stick, I was eventually able to get the rose with a stick.  Of course I was shocked and immediately thought this was an answer to my question.  I will continue to be aware of God's presence and Joe's presence.  I still have the rose two years later.

Mishka- I'm a Muslim.  Whenever we have dreams, we believe there is a spiritual significance to them.  Me and my sisters, anytime someone in our family passes away we have a dream our teeth shatter a few days or a week before.  My eldest sister had the dream before my dad died.  My 2nd older sister had that dream before my grandmother died.  I had the dream before my aunt died.  Last year or six months ago, had a dream a ball of light was coming towards me.  So I was scared of the ball of light, so I chanted verses of the Qu'ran to it so that it would protect me.  The ball of light entered my body.  I was consumed by it.  I woke up and asked family and friends about it and looked at texts.  They say if you dream of a ball of light and it enters you, it means God wants to be closer to you.

Rainey- When I stayed at the anointing healing service... that was spiritual.  At communion I get so happy.
