REMINDER from Mano:
Wherever you are and wherever you go, your Guardian Angels and Guiding Spirits use every opportunity to teach or reveal a truth to you.
REMARKS from Barbara:
This truth was revealed to me early one summer morning. At that time, I was going outside to sit in the dark and wait for the light to come. As I stepped off of the brick Patio onto the wet grass, I heard the inner spirit voice say, “You are never alone.”
REMEMBERING Mary Jane:
When Mary Jane took personal retreats at my Guest Cottage she often walked into the Amphitheater to sit in a tree and watch the morning light appear.
The Smiling Angel
Blog #158
As I grow closer to 100 years of age I have had the need for 24-hour household care. One caregiver is taking a month leave. My son John and his wife Ahna-Kristin are taking her place. Ahna-Kristin told me she has used the money she is earning caring for me to rent an apartment in her favorite part of Paris for the month of August. We talked about favorite places to visit in Paris. This reminded me of a time Jim and I were traveling through France early in the morning to get to a conference in Switzerland.
When we drove through Reims, France, I saw the beautiful Reims Cathedral and wanted to go in. Jim said we don’t have time but I convinced him I would run through and not take much time. He agreed so I ran across the wet grass exhilarated by the freshness of the morning and excitement to enter the Cathedral. I slowed down as I entered the cathedral. At the front of that aisle I entered an area set aside for an amazing modern stained glass widow by Marc Chagall. The morning light through the window shining on the floor made me think of nature spirits.
Crossing the front alter to get to the other side I entered a fenced off area with a beautiful large figure of Mary holding the baby Jesus. I stayed for a minute taking in the beauty and sending love to them. As I turned to leave, I had a powerful revelation that Mary represents Mother Earth and Jesus represents humanity. Every statue of Mother and Child was a healing blessing for Mother Earth and all of humanity.
As I left the Church, overwhelmed with this revelation, I saw the huge carvings of three or four angels in the side of the Cathedral. One of them was smiling. She is known as the smiling angel. As I ran by her, I thought to myself, she is smiling because she knows the secret Mary had just revealed to me.
