A recent story source has told me of a guy that I’ll call “Harry,” a bachelor,
though for years he sought the companionship of women and even marriage, though his mother found ways to prevent him from
marrying. Harry loved a particular Adirondack lake, where he lived and died. The next spring after his death, a larger-than-normal
loon was spotted on the lake. Now, loons are mating birds and are almost always seen in pairs. But not this bird. He is overly-friendly
with humans, often approaching within a few yards. He seems to follow one of Harry’s old friends (who maintains camps
in the off-season) to various parts of the lake. Those old friends all believe that Harry is taking a vacation between lifetimes
(or between earth and Heaven) and may have always admired the loons that are common in the mountain lakes. Do you think it’s
possible for humans to take such a “vacation?” Tell me your thoughts.
