There we were–angels all–furiously waving our hands: “Pick me!!  Pick ME!!”  We all wanted to try this new fad called “human being.”  We had heard so much about it, and the whole universe was fascinated that spirit could condense itself into such a tiny material space.  We wanted to try it–what an adventure!

Then poof, we slammed into a body within a body and pushed ourselves out to choke at this thing called breathing.  What a shock!  We instantly forgot all the excitement at this rollercoaster ride that looked so fun.  Gradually we learned the stories and rules around us for this so-called earth existence.  Lots of stories.

Today I am thrilled to sit next to one of my favorite angels as we wrestle and laugh at our attempts to wrangle our tiny minds around “life”.  Precious eyes, dear warm presence, deep within us, within you, I see the One I love and lean as close to you as I can.
