a is for all of those earthly angels who come to help us when we are in need.
They can come in the form of family, friends, colleagues, neighbours or even a stranger. They remind us that we are part of the human family no matter where or who we are.
Over the bank holiday weekend the book, ‘Angel Inspiration’ by Diana Cooper, jumped out at me from my book-case asking to be re-read. It was many years since I read it first but I found it still very relevant to me in my life now. I was aware that we all have a guardian angel but I have to confess I had a rather impersonal relationship with mine. I did not even know their name and apart from a time when I was prevented from being run-over by a car near our flat in London, had never really consciously experienced him/her.
It is said that when an angel visits you they leave a feather behind so you know they have been. I have not experienced this, that is until last week.
I keep a Post It pad near me at home to capture thoughts that come to me for this blog. Recently the ideas have been slow in coming and my post its were sadly empty. I sent out a little request for ideas but none seemed to be forth coming. I came home from work and there was a beautifully formed feather sitting on the top of my pad. Lets see what arrives in the coming weeks.
