Angels Will Guide You
The road is dark and treacherous, and danger lurks everywhere. You are tired and terrified, stumbling along with no hope. You feel your feet slip on wet stones and your hands fly around to find purchase. Suddenly, you feel arms hold you upright. A thorn snags on our clothes and you feel the hysteria well up in your being. Soft hands loosen the snare, and you sigh in relief. A snarl comes from the foliage, and a horrible mangled face appears with bloody fangs exposed.
A shriek escapes your mouth, but the unseen hands push the monster back into the darkness. Soft whispers in your ear soothingly encourage you to move forward. “You are not alone, we are with you to protect you”. Suddenly, a golden light appears in the distance. You feel dread and hope in equal measure well up inside your torn heart. “We will reach the light, do not despair”, the words fill your mind. You wonder if you will make it to the light, so much darkness and pain surround you right now. You near the light while trying to walk without falling on the uneven path.
It seems so far to go, and you feel the helplessness enter your mind again. “Keep going,” the whispers urge you, “it is not far to go now.” Your foot hooks on a root and you feel your body pitch forward, but hands are there to stop your fall. The golden light brightens and, for a moment, hope soars in your heart. Your mind tells you it is just an illusion, like all other hopes that died in you. “Don’t give up, it is not far to go now,” the soothing voice tells you. Hope starts to well inside you and you walk faster, determined to make it. The light is right in front of you, and you can hear voices sing and praise the Universe.
The songs fill you with longing and wonder. As if you have taken a huge leap, you are in the light. The soft golden love of it enters your soul, mind, and body. You feel glorious acceptance and joy, and your face opens in a smile. You look around for the presence that brought you here but everyone is around you now. Angels with beautiful snow-white wings enfold you and chant the song of love. Your heart wants to burst with the love and joy you feel. The Spirit that is All is here and you are safe now. Peace has entered your mind and you know you are not alone.
The angels are around and guide you on your path. You know you will have to go back to reality, but for the moment, you wallow in the beauty of the moment. Never again will you feel alone and unloved, you know the place that awaits you and the guardians who safeguard your every step in life. The Great Spirit of creation will never leave you alone to suffer, no matter what your mind tells you. This life is but a moment to endure before eternity. The love, peace, and joy of the Universe await you at the end.
Namaste

This is beautiful, Rea. Like an ode to hope, a reminder that everything is temporary and that light is always at the end of darkness. 🤍🖤
I love this, Rea, so powerful.
It makes me think of John O'Donohue's words about angels:
"There is a special shelter around every person. One of the things that all children should be taught when they are growing up is that there is a shelter around them, but that they won’t feel the shelter if they don’t expect it and if they don’t know that it is there. That shelter is the shelter of your soul, it is the shelter of your Divinity and it is the shelter of your angel. I know that angels are back in fashion now, and a lot of the thinking about angels is very soft thinking. I feel that there is given to each of us an angel’s spirit to shelter and protect us and mind us. If you don’t think that spirit is beside you, then you may never feel its presence, but if you do begin to tune into it and become aware of it, you will be astounded at the gentleness, the encouragement and the inspiration that your angel will bring you."
