Making Friends with Angels
by Shannon Melikan, author of Angel-Inspired Poetry says “In poetry, angels have names and identities. They speak to us clearly and impart encouragement that is forever generous in its nature. We know that we can go to a poem where a known angel resides and be quickened by a burst from the page that embraces us and endows us with the kiss of heaven.”
I’m always struck at how magical and unexpected the process of partnering with our muses and angels can be. We all can stand proud by taking a leap of faith in God, his angels, ourselves and our special purpose. This is how we make friends with angels. It is our job not to limit the ways in which God and his angels can appear to us. When they are around they hug us with possibilities. Of course, when we focus on the spiritual side of our higher selves, we are attracting the interest in God and his angel messengers. We’ve all experienced phone perceptions, door bell cues, and feelings of déjà vu. Whose to say there isn’t another plain trying to remind us that humans are not alone in their trials here on earth? As a matter of fact, it is getting hard to tell fact from fiction what with the media giving so much attention to mediums, ghost hunters and psychics. Science has in an apologetic way been proving the existence of ideas for a few years now once trampled under the feet of rationalism.
It takes only one more mindful step to purposely commune with the messengers of God and/or angels. We can do this by direct invitation, especially through prayer, meditation and/or visualization projects like art making and writing. It is best for everyone to think positively rather than negatively for an accepting outcome. The Buddhists say the only reality is what is here, what is happening between you and me? If this is true , I worry if my words can live up to such distinction. Picasso, Matisse and Jung believed for every spontaneous action there is a consequential story that begins within us and works its way out through the tips of our fingers. When we’re playing connect-the-dots with our subconscious mind, it has the ability to point out the obvious of which our conscious intellect has failed to grasp.
Most of us have experienced unruly goose bumps and hair standing up on our arms. This happens when our subconscious is trying to tell us something is not right or unnerving. This happened not only to me but to all those who witnessed the horror collapse of the Twin Towers on 911. Check out http://www.operationsaveamerica.org/articles/articles/steel-girder-cross.htm and see for yourself this eight-foot steel Cross that shot deep into the ground between the two collapsing Towers for all to see.

It stood in defiance much like the Cross where Jesus died, resurrected from the ruins of hate and left as a reminder of what hate, jealousy and stupidity can do. This dramatic steel Cross served as a sign for all unbelievers and believers as well – - but sent by whom? Perhaps, our faith in God and angels is anchored via an inner knowing or awareness, many of us warmly accept and sadly, many of us resist so much like the terrorists that took so many lives that day.
