When Angels Sing




 "Confront the dark parts of yourself, and work to banish them with illumination and forgiveness.  Your willingness to wrestle with your demons will cause your angels to sing."  August Wilson


Darkness can occur as quickly as a violent storm.  Winds blow away layers of protection, exposing raw emotion we may have not known we had.  Thunder can shake our very bones as cold tears streak down our face.

We grow disoriented and wander deeper into the eye of the storm.  Perhaps we hold our breath, waiting for the lightning to illuminate a path to safety.  Debris is all around us and we wonder if we shall ever have the strength to venture forward.

The darkness of the storm passes as quickly as it blew in.  We extradite our demons and speculate what damage has occurred.  We pick splinters out of our flesh as we offer forgiveness for ourselves and others as we wait for the angels to sing.
