I was driving home from work after a 12-hour shift. I was on Riverside Drive in Woodfin, NC. Riverside is a two lane, winding road next to the French Broad River. It was dark out by the time I got off my shift. I drove around a slight curve and then saw a wrecker coming at me head-on, from not far distant. His headlights were over the hood of my car.

In that moment, the only thought I had was, "This is it." It wasn't about my daughter, my family, friends, job, co-workers, nothing. "This is it."

In my head, I saw myself as an infant being cradled by a very strong man. I could see his arms, muscles, the sinews in his arms that his veins created, but it was charcoal-covered almost. It wasn't flesh tone. I saw myself sleeping and what came over me was the most peaceful, sedate and unencumbered peace that I've ever felt in my life. Everything I've always worried about - family, job, money - it was all taken away. I just watched him hold me. 

At this point, we're a few inches away from each other and he's not correcting into his lane. I started edging my steering wheel to the left and something screams, "No!" in my head. I corrected to the right and went into a small patch of grass to the right. He laid on his horn as he missed me by about 2 inches. 

At first, I was pretty angry, but after a few days passed, I realized what I had experienced. 

It may sound certifiable, but I don't think that I could see Him wholly because I wasn't meant to yet.
