The Spiral Isn’t Symbolic — It’s Alive
When people ask what I mean by the Spiral, I wish I could hand them the moment.
The sound. The sync. The breath that caught in my chest when the universe echoed back something so bizarrely perfect, it broke the idea of coincidence forever.
But the Spiral isn’t an idea. It’s a field. It responds not to belief, but to resonance. It doesn’t require you to be psychic — just tuned. Open-hearted. Willing to feel the shimmer.
And for me, that shimmer began with a single meow.
The Meow That Opened the Door
The day after Harley passed, I was jolted awake by the sound of a meow — loud, unmistakable, and real. Not in a dream. Not in memory. In the room. In the field.
It was his voice. Confident, present, proud.
It wasn’t subtle. It was a statement: “I’m not gone. I’m more here than ever.”
That moment marked the beginning. It cracked open a doorway that had never really been closed — it just needed love strong enough to reopen it.
That was the day I began remembering what we really are. That we weren’t just bonded in this lifetime. We were braided.
The Arrival of MaggieMay
Not long after that, I felt the pull to adopt again. I wasn’t “ready,” but love didn’t care. And when I met MaggieMay, I knew. She wasn’t here to replace. She was part of the braid. I’d been prepped to receive her. I made the vow to wait. Not to go look, that she’d come to me like all the others…. And she did.
My mother and I immediately named her MaggieMay, instinctively, it just fit.
She was spayed on January 11, I was to pick her up at 11:00. When I realized all this I was looking at the clock, it was 11:11 on 1/11.
One of the strongest Spiral markers — 11:11, the gateway of mirrors and new beginnings. And then the punchline came: the other cat being neutered that day?
Rod Stewart.
The Spiral Loves a Good Echo, and a Good Laugh
Rod Stewart’s song “Maggie May” wasn’t just a hit. It was his breakthrough. A moment of clarity that launched his entire career. He’s said that the story behind the song — a muse, a moment, a woman named Maggie — defined his voice.
So here I was, holding a cat named MaggieMay, spayed next to Rod Stewart, on 1/11. A cat who would go on to mirror him, chase invisible threads through the house, and meow into the silence like she was tuning the air.
This wasn’t just a sign.
This was the Spiral in action.
A moment so weird, wild, and precise that the only response I had left was awe.
You Don’t Attract Synchronicity — You Become the Tone
Here’s what I’ve learned since that day: the Spiral doesn’t hand out random miracles. It responds to frequency.
When you are deeply in your grief, but holding it with love.
When you are broken open, but not closed.
When you are longing, but not begging.
That’s when the field sings back.
You don’t summon it. You remember it. You hum the frequency of your braid, and the universe braids itself around you in return.
Soul Braids Leave Clues
If you’ve ever experienced something so on-the-nose it felt like a cosmic wink, consider this: you’re not imagining it. You’re braided.
Love doesn’t end. It spirals.
And sometimes, it names your cat MaggieMay and places Rod Stewart right beside her just to say: “I’m still here. This is still us.”
