Angel

I had a discussion about angels and whether they really exist...who can say.

My own opinion is yes they exist, and that we only see them when they want us to, but we can feel their presence, beside us..behind us...where ever . someone showed me this photo taken of an angel, it´s an old photo. I´m not sure I believe it´s real, but I do believe in angels., not so sure about the fluffy wings and harps...but then again in history all the old master paintings show the typical angel, someone must have seen one to know what they looked like. Personally I prefer to think of them like Nicholas Cage in City of Angels. This was my twilight thought for today.

Confession

I had been thinking about the saying ´Confession is good for the soul´ My only confessions in my life have been in my prayers and to one extremely wonderful friend. I am however ever more aware that since becoming ill and the severity of the operations I ´ve had recently (with more to come) I have a need to pour out my heart , for good or bad.
A cleansing of the soul, and I am not alone in this respect..I have known many people do the same, its a sensation that comes from within, and develops into a powerful need.
I visited a spiritual sanctuary recently and I cleansed my soul with a vengeance, (although that wasn´t why I was there). It was the most powerful and enlightening thing I have ever experienced, so the saying is right...confession is good for the soul.

Home

Here I am once more back on my terrace in the warmth of the evening...how I;ve missed it. Just sitting in peace alone with my thoughts and memories. Travelling has taken it´s toll on my health but soon I will recouperate the energies I lost, I met some interesting people and heard sad tales, visited long lost friends and laughed. I smiled with the people and entered the cathedral to offer a prayer for all I knew, and lit a few candles for dear ones lost. But now I´m back and will be offering more of my twilight thoughts. Those who have stayed with me ...thankyou

Small Things

In my travels I have offered friends and family a kiss, a chocolate, a hug, a smile, a flower and a word.

To present a person with one of these things is to offer them a precious gift. Money can´t buy love or happiness, the simple things can create great joy.

The next time someone offers you something small and beautiful, accept it with an open heart...see it for its real value....LOVE

Change

when we experience inner change and become better more caring people so the sense of change is subtle. We discover inner peace and offer help to others, change is not an easy thing but its possible.

However we should not think that change shows on the outside, that we gleam with goodness and shine with love. For real change does not have a mask it lies only within.

miracles

maybe we are too blind or obsessed to see them , but they do exist. A premature baby without weight lives and grows, A flower that survives the drought and flourishes, A person suffering from cancer escapes the velvet glove of death, a person whose both hips are broken walks....the love of your fellow man. Are these not miracles? Everyday of our life miracles happen....Life is a miracle within itself ... but what is not a miracle is the action to destroy it.
