  • nora the noisy angel

    In the interests of recycling I am reposting something I wrote 3 years ago. It’s the text for a story that you might like: Nora the noisy angel* Heaven was normally a calm, quiet place. It was peaceful, gentle and lovely. The angels would talk to each other in gentle whispers because it was so…

  • broken angel

    While I was on Sabbatical Leave in autumn 2012 I took a week’s retreat at the Society of Mary and Martha in Devon, on the edge of Dartmoor. It was a wonderfully refreshing and relaxing time. On my last day I went into their little shop and saw a small stone angel, praying. I felt…

  • angles from the realms of glory (no, that’s not a spelling error, it’s meant to be angles)

    >We had a visitation at our house on Wednesday. No, not Jehovah’s Witnesses or Mormons. The visitor did not even ring the doorbell, but they did knock on the window, and their visit left an impression on us. I think it may have been a small trainee angel on its first flight. It did not…
