Hi, Sal!
Interesting. Probably there is a little of everything together --emotional creation and something we don't know. Actually, we don't know everything in our planet. Once I read in an esoteric book, that Jesus Christ's miracles were not "miracles" at all, but the use of energies and knowledge we don't know yet. This idea is valid for me, because every century has less "miracles or paranormal situations" one something has been discovered.
I am sure there is a scientific explanation, most probably unknown for us at this very moment.
Thank you for this wonderful story. Congrats. I like your writing very much. ALL the BEST. Louisa.
