Scary moment…and beautiful

Today was interesting and scary.  I started off the day pretty good despite a jacked up middle back and Gout in my right wrist and left big toe.  Its started yesterday and worsened overnight.  I was in okay spirits.  As we were driving, I began to feel “funny”-kind of queasy and a touch sick with a slight headache(my first in months).  Then suddenly, I began to feel lightheaded and nauseous.  I thought I might be experiencing a drop in blood pressure, which has occurred in the past, but this felt different.  I told Joy to pull over so I could throw up but she thought stroke and put the hazards on kept driving and telling me to breath. Both of us thought stroke in the back of our minds.  She remained calm, talked to me,  as my symptoms increased in oddness, as I had not felt this before.  My vision grew opaque, as if I were looking through a Sepia lens.  There was a light almost portal I was seeing that scared me and at the same time was beautiful.  I felt comfort with the light and the portal.  I managed to remain calm, for myself and Joy, and took my pulse as I thought low blood pressure-it was around 60, which is not out of the ordinary for me.  This kind of ruled out the drop in blood pressure.  After some time, which appeared to go into slow motion, my vision slowly cleared and my senses returned leaving me(and Joy) very shaken and scared.  The symptoms mimicked the first stroke but not nearly as intense.  As I write this, I feel tired and I wonder what has occurred.  It brings some memory back to the stroke on Jan 17.   While it was a terrifying experience, there was beauty in it too.  Most times, I don’t feel very connected to spirituality, as I was busy with life.  As I slow down, and begin to feel more, I do feel some spirituality creeping into my life.  Are the spirits talking to me??
