Pre-dawn. You are fully awake and feeling much better in terms of muscles and aches on the left hip into the knee. Tomorrow, Carol's sister, Linda, who has been travelling with her old college friend, Patti, arrives for a few days before returning to Tampa. - Amorella
0544 hours. I am ready to move on from Ms Havisham's "Before the Beginning". I am quite fond of her words and their order, but perhaps I over edited. I dropped yesterday's blogpage on FaceBook for half a day and pulled it because, embarrassingly, the words aren't my work, and I don't really know how to react to the circumstance (Ms Havisham's writing is crisper, stronger defined and better writing than my own).
Using your fingers on the keyboard, I am your poetically personified soul and write accordingly. - mh
0610 hours. I don't know where we go from here. I can't imagine going further than Grace. I like the part suggesting that Grace rises; Nothing is created; and the Silent Presence of Grace, fills in the void between the Ceiling and the Floor. Physics comes in with the twisting knot of a whisper not a bang. I am probably misremembering Ms Havisham's work but that's how I remember it from last night.
We go to touch an Angel, old man, as I said earlier. We go no further. - mh
0624 hours. I look forward to reading your work, Ms Havisham. Many people in many cultures have put their imaginations to the test in creating an image of an Angel in art and/or words.
Later, old man. - Amorella
Earlier, you received a note from one of your favorite former students. She is presently living in South Africa and she sent you a note about humanity and you decided to send her a copy of "Before the Beginning" and she enjoyed it very much as it appears to have brightened her outlook, probably because it came from you. You feel good because the bond of greater humanity touched you both at the same time even though there is great distance and time since you both met face to face. - Amorella
1508 hours. I did tell Carol about it at lunch and before errands which we are now working on. A shared consciousness is what the experience was between former student and myself. This is a reasonable reinforcer to me that Ms Havisham hit at something 'real', that a simple truth was imbedded between the lines of "Before the Beginning". I will gladly continue to share the blogpages on FaceBook if there be a chance some will gain comfort and hope from Ms Havisham's words.
Back to an Angel. - mh
1618 hours. I've seen lots of art and a fair amount of classical and historical literature on Angels. Personally, when I felt Amorella might be a real Angel (if there even are angels) I never had a real visual. I feel better putting in some Wikipedia background here.
You've done this many times before, old man. I'll put a damper on the material for you and delimit the Wikipedia topic. - Amorella
1622 hours. This is a surprise, Amorella. You certainly know what I know about angels.
This Angel is for souls not human beings, particularly not live ones. - mh
1625 hours. This kicks up my interest. You never said you'd 'describe' an Angel from a soul's perspective. I never thought Angels would be for souls. I never thought about what a soul would need an Angel for. -- You know, Ms Havisham, I'm a bit skeptical on all this. I've lived a long time and have seen all sorts of concepts and ideas about angels, and demons too for that matter. Belief is not a part of this agenda and neither is faith. Why does one need to believe and/or to feel a religious sense to help and comfort others? We do these things because it is the right thing to do. We help one another in time of need and misfortune and we share with others, friends and family, our good fortunes.
Below are generally common definitions/examples of angels and their nature. The added text from William Wordsworth sample shows the general concept of what The Cosmic Spirit includes. - Amorella

Angel
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This article is about the cosmic spirits.
An angel is generally a supernatural being found in various religions and mythologies. Abrahamic religions often depict angels as benevolent celestial beings who act as intermediaries between God (or Heaven) and humanity. Other roles of angels include protecting and guiding human beings, and carrying out tasks on behalf of God. Abrahamic religions often organize angels into hierarchies, although such rankings may vary between sects in each religion. Such angels may receive specific names (such as Gabriel or Michael) or titles (such as seraph or archangel). People have also extended the use of the term "angel" to various notions of spirits or figures found in other religious traditions. The theological study of angels is known as "angelology". Angels expelled from Heaven are referred to as fallen angels as distinct from the heavenly host.
In fine art angels are usually depicted as having the shape of human beings of extraordinary beauty, but no gender (until the 19th century at least). They are often identified In Christian artwork with bird wings, halos, and light.

And,
THE COSMIC SPIRIT
"
|
To every form of being is assigned
An active principle:—howe'er removed From sense and observation, it subsists In all things, in all natures: in the stars Of azure Heaven, the unenduring clouds, In flower and tree, in every pebbly stone That paves the brooks, the stationary rocks, The moving waters and the invisible air. Whate'er exists hath properties that spread Beyond itself, communicating good, A simple blessing, or with evil mixed: Spirit that knows no insulated spot, No chasm, no solitude; from link to link It circulates, the soul of all the worlds." |
Wordsworth. Excursion. Book VI, 1-15.

2041 hours words above are a common starting point of what angels are from a human perspective. These spirits are said to exist and may appear within all that is Nature. For what purpose would an Angel be to a Soul or to many Souls? It seems reasonable to me that the Cosmic Spirit, the soul of all the worlds, would be the Angel of All Souls. No one has proofed an Angel existing, but I am not about to deny the possibility. I cannot prove souls and angels do not exist. How can one prove something was/is not? This spirit business leads a fool's trail, one I have personally led at one time or another. It is a waste of thought and logic. What then, Ms Havisham, is a Soul's Angel?
A Soul's Angel is the Human Spirit -- the spiritual heartansoulanmind. It is an example of cosmic spirit, you see. Human beings created Angels out of reason and purpose as well as for comfort and hope beyond their own lives. What soul would not be attracted to such worthy human desire, to be beyond what they can be for others, for the future beyond themselves and their own lives.
2108 hours. I have not been built to think in such terms, Ms Havisham. I cannot argue what I do not know. There is an innocence in your thinking that should not be as you know the corruptions of our species full well.
As do human beings themselves, yet, here you are, an example, an agnostic as true as any other agnostic, but you give your fingers up for two spirits you can neither see nor hear. And why? For the betterment of the human species. You are far from alone, old man. The world is full of angelic-like energy that arises from being more fully human in a positive form, in the human will to make things more humane for all the children of the world. - mh
2117 hours. I would not have expected this outcome.
Post, old man. Enjoy your sleep. - Amorella
2134 hours. I am humbly embarrassed by the simple truth in these words, but I cannot deny my humanity.
