I had an outmost remarkable experience, which proved to me the existence of God or at least of supernatural phenomena absolutely clearly. After I racked my brain for ten years, about, if [it means something], and if yes, what it means, I hope that someone here can tell me how one should interpret such a thing the best way.

It was in february 2000, when I fell in love with a girl who was 15 years younger than me. But she didn't want to reciprocate my love.
In my desperation I decided to record a self-made compilation on an audio tape for her workmate ["Kollege", in Switzerland, can also mean just "friend"].
At the end of the A-side, I wanted at least the title of the last song (Boston's "A man I'll never be") to be sung..and would you look at that, the tape had exactly enough space for this.

On the B-side, I noticed that the CD player skipped a bit exactly when the singer of Deep Purple sung about the light spirit, this is going to be relevant later.
At the end of the tape there was the piece "it never rains" of Dire Straits' "Love over gold" album. Fortunately, I managed to fade it out before the chaotic ending. Mark Knopfler sung about (I don't remember it precisely anymore) counting on the help of friends and respectively [I think he wanted to say et cetera] and (tape finished). After this, the lyrics Tinpanalley (civilization chaos), and so on, would follow.
Now, somehow I thought that this tape could be something special and I visited a local musician, so he can listen to it. The same evening, I
looked at one of his CDs and discovered the label "Black rose records" on the back. I asked myself if I went to the right person. It was about 2 AM, a strong rain eased, as I decided to bind - in my thoughts - everything negative in the world to the rose and hand it to the light spirit (due to Deep Purple CD skipping) for "disposal".
Usually, I really never do such rituals and I'm not a member of a cult or so. So, with half-closed eyes, I stretched the arm with the imaginary rose in hand in direction of the window, towards the light spirit. I felt truly: now it's "swallowed" and in just this moment, it shone bright. I got up and walked to the window, to see what could have shone so bright and in this moment, there was thunder! With soft knees, I sunk into the armchair that stood right behind me. It was in the middle of the winter, there weren't any lightnings months before and after! Other people, whom I told the story, heard the thunder too. On a walk, I coincidentally saw the freshly shredded tree. I'm 100% sure I didn't dream this. On the cover of Dire Straits' album "Love over gold", there is a lightning bolt...

Before, I wasn't into reading. After some research I conclude that philosophy is too complicated for my taste.

But, as a non-bookworm, I especially enjoyed one quote from a philosopher: A big book is a big nuisance
