At this time of year, we speak of angels. It seems to me that any discussion of angels should never exude certainty, but always gratitude. Angels are the kind of thing to be held in one’s heart constantly—argued over, never. These ministers of the soul’s aspirations, of divine purpose wherever it is being created, represent the essence of belief as beloving, not as
bethinking. To talk about angels is to speak of wings and fire and wind and power and love. To talk of angels is to dream and imagine; they are indeed the messengers of the very essence of the divine creative nature—and we, when in their presence, called to “Be not afraid.”
