Prayer For My Angels...

© Pollard

Angels are not perfect, they are loving.

They work hard for our dreams, our fears and our humanity.

They take the shape of our most brilliant intentions and our most brutal failures.

Angels hold no vision of their own.

They accumulate and disperse the light of our hope and aspirations.

Angels have walked everywhere we have and cannot go where we have not, whether in our minds, bodies or souls.

My angels I honour your caring hands, your silent patience, your invisible worship, your whispered encouragement and your eternal commitment of serve and non-judgment.
You make my light worth living.

FIRE:

The giver, healer, destroyer and transformer of life.

The giver of light.
The healer of disease and the unchanging.
The destroyer of hopes and dreams.
The transformer of water, earth and air.

A symbol of passion and rebirth.
A gesture of life.

The power, presence, mystery and wisdom of the Shaman has maintained, protected and healed us in our journey through time.
They are more than what we see, know and can imagine, these messengers of God and the gods.
