All about Angels

Angels: many people believe in them, some people don't. 'What are they really like?' you ask. Well, the ones I have seen, and they are the only ones I can talk about, are nothing like the angels we see in old church paintings. Angels visit me regularly. They speak to me through the mouths of innocent birds and beasts and I listen to them carefully, for they are the messengers of Gaia, the earth goddess. If we do not listen to the earth goddess, if we don't pay attention to her words, the earth and the people who live on it will be in serious trouble, sooner or later. So, go out into the garden and the woods. Walk softly. Stand beneath autumn trees. Watch for footprints in the winter snow. Above all, watch out for the living creatures with which we share our world. Listen to them when they speak to you. Pay attention to their words. Do not ignore them, and remember St. Francis of Assisi who called them his brothers and sisters, for that's exactly what they are. They are our extended family and as we treat them, so will we ourselves be treated when Gaia, the earth goddess, calls us home.
