Ever felt an angel's breath in the gentle breeze?  A teardrop in the falling rain?  Hear a whisper amongst the rustle of leaves?  Or been kissed by a lone snowflake?  Nature is an angel's favorite hiding place.

           "Angel in the clouds"   by Roger Joyeux © 2007   

One of my clients was sitting in our session the other day, and she said, "All my life I have wanted to see an angel.  I believe in them, but I have yet to see one!"

The thought struck me that so often we do not see what we are looking for because we have a set notion of what the object (picture, situation, furniture, clothing, etc) should look like.  We therefore tend to ignore the items that are actually what we need, because we ignore them in the search for the "absolute". 

Have you heard that our mind stores the images of what we see with our eyes?  If we have never seen something before, then an image does not jump into our brain and resonate with a label.  Yes, we all like to label things.  The point is, if we have not seen it before, we do not recognize the item.  There is a story that the Conquistadors were so successful in conquering the natives because the natives did not recognize the ships and soldiers for what they were.  So, they welcomed them.  Only a shaman was able to recognize the truth of the Conquistadors because he had been given their picture in dream time, and had been given an understanding of what it meant.

I loved the quotation at the beginning of this article because it suggests that so often we do not recognize the angels or their gifts, because we do not expect the action. The other thought that strikes me about this quotation is that it shows the link between The Divine and nature, and how we sometimes will call rain exactly for the label that we put on it, instead of looking for the teardrops of joy or sadness, as the case may be, in the falling of moisture.

I wish you angels in your life.

Miracles be with you!
