Premonition, Prayer and Luck
There is study after study looking at premonition and how that plays out in our daily life. There are those not current in the latest scientific research that still think that premonition is an old wives tale. I have been trusting my premonitions for some time now based on how well it works for me. Not to say that I can always pull rabbits out of a hat, but sometimes the feeling is so strong that I will pay attention. One that comes to mind as an example is about a Facebook friend of mine that though we share much of our political beliefs, I’m not so sure that we share other beliefs. I believe in the power of prayer and I also have my premonitions that I pay attention to.
One day on my Facebook feed I see a picture of a motorcycle tire posted by Ken. I immediately felt dread when I saw the picture. It felt like it was in a state where it was going to blow. I use the word feel, because that’s how this stuff works. I had a bad feeling about the tire.
Knowing that Ken doesn’t share a belief system similar to mine, I felt I couldn’t call or message him about the tire. Me being me, I did the next best thing. I prayed about it hard for the next two days. I didn’t think I could get him to change the tire, but I thought I could pray that the injury wouldn’t be too serious. The tire was on a bike that he races and normal speeds for him on a track are over 180 MPH. Okay, keep the injury within bounds so he can race another day.
About twenty five years ago I had gotten interested in Buddhism. I found that the chant I learned helped to power up my thoughts. At the outset I had even asked members how to control the actions better. I would think things, and they would happen. My mind kind of thinks of a lot of things, so sometimes it was a good thing, and sometimes not so good. I was beginning to see why there were people that spent a lot of their time focusing on how they were chanting, thinking and praying. If I was at a meeting where a lot of chanting was being done, afterwards I would notice a different feeling in my chest. When I got that feeling, future events would and did become very interesting.
Anyway, I saw the picture below
Doesn’t look like much does it?
For some reason it bothered me, a lot.
This is the tire after the blowout.
“Race required dot tires. Dunlop GPA Daytona’s”

“Rear tire overheated and exploded as I exited the chicane. Rear started to come around. I managed to gather it back up and avoid a high side but that put me off line. I had to hit the front brakes to scrub off as much speed as possible before i hit the wall. i hit the brakes so hard i flew over the bars into the wall and then the bike hit me. Not really sure why I'm alive but here I am.”
Ken
He crashed going over 180 MPH and hit the wall. He has some nice video footage showing the speedometer and him flying over the bars. I’m glad you’re alive Ken. Keep posting that political stuff, I enjoy reading it. I think Ken must have several people that worry for him. He’s that kind of guy.
This is Ken’s collar bone broken
The collar bone with screws holding it together.
I went back and looked at the tire picture again, a year after the accident. The funny thing is…………it just looks like a motorcycle tire to me now. Looking at it afterwards, I get no feelings from it at all. It’s kind of strange.

“The crazy thing is, that tire had PLENTY of tread on it when I went out.”
