A Brief Encounter

I thought I was floating above the earth last night, only when I noticed the sun's reflection did I realize I was actually standing on a sheet of glass so large I could not find the edges. I wondered, why am I being blocked from my home? What is the purpose behind this wall? I sat down and looked through the glass, watching the world turn and the people with it. I watched the clouds, the storms, the calm, the oceans...such a busy planet. I observed for a while and then realized the wall was to keep me from focusing on all of that for a moment. I turned to looked towards the sun. The white light was not so intense at this time of day that it hurt my eyes, but it was still quite a magnificent glow and it warmed me inside and out. I stretched out upon the glass and soaked up its energy, letting it run in and out of my body, cleansing it of all the negative energy that comes with such a hectic lifestyle. Calm, I thought, remember to keep calm. That is how you will beat the stress.

Above me a figure emerged from the light. An angel with light blue wings flew down to rest beside me. She did as I did, soaked up the sun, though I don't believe she needed it, I think she merely came to visit me. I turned to her and asked, "What makes me so special that I am blessed with the presence of an angel tonight?" She replied with one word. "Nothing." And then she left.

Nothing? I thought of my recent obsession with angels. Did I just want to see one so badly that I did? I knew I was in a dreamlike state. This was my favorite kind of meditation...the kind where my soul wanders off on its own and leaves me to just experience its adventures in my mind. It gave me more space to think, and took less effort since all I had to do was watch, feel, and experience. A daydream you may wish to call it. It is best not to escape the world, but every now and then it's good to take a break. Angels last night...what a treat. :)
