Angel in My Pocket

 


I have a pocket Angel.  My wife got it for me while living in NY.  There was a movie from 1969 with the same name.  I don't try to make anyone into my own self as I consider myself pretty much alone in my own kind of Spirituality.  This Angel I have comes in her own leather pouch and I would set her near me as I smoke my pipe.  I was going through my stuff I have for all my pipe paraphernalia the other day, and I happened to find her and decided to get her out and she keeps me company as I sit here on the patio and smoke my pipe.

Why is this significant to me right now?  I'm not really sure as I forgot she was in my stuff.  I say "she" because in fact it could be genderless.  But I'll call her a "she" because to me that what she is.  She stands about two inches tall and is made from marble.  She is supposed to be like a worry stone that one rubs when one is tense.  The fact is I didn't know she was there in my box as I had forgotten all about her.  But now she stands there and keeps me company as I smoke my pipe.  

I had another long ago, but I accidently dropped that one on concrete and she got chipped, so my wife said I needed a new one.  So, she's my second one with the first being jade colored and this one is white.  I'm not sure how long I had the jade one, but I must have had her at least ten years or so.  I think my wife bought me the first one after my heart attack, and my thinking is that I've had one keeping me company for a long time.  

Why is this important now?  I'm not really sure, but they're just simply called pocket Angels for those who believe in the power of angels, which I do.  Angels are a big part of my Spirituality as they are for many.  It's just that I enjoy having my pocket Angels keep me company.  But why?  They're special gifts.  And maybe that is all they are with properties known only to the possessor.  I don't give her special gifts as she's simply a stone angel.  

But maybe it's just what she represents and nothing more and nothing less.  There are those like myself to claim to have had experiences with Angels and for such people these little stone angels help us remember.  We believe in Angels.  And they serve to remind us.  Otherwise I don't attribute any special powers to this little angel, but I like that she's kept me company all these years.

Why had I forgotten about her?   I don't know.  And why I just recently rediscovered her now I don't know.  It's just that I've had one for so many years that I always kept close by.   Maybe it was just supposed to be that I needed her again as some keep a worry stone handy.  They're just nice to have around.  She's just a small pocket angel with no more power than a worry stone has.  I didn't know I missed her.

But now she can keep me company and just be nothing more than what she represents.  It seems to me that everyone could own one in some form or another just to have around.  I'm not promoting an item as much as I am promoting a simple idea.  A simple rock can be a worry stone.  I'm smoking my Dunhill today having smoked my first bowl of the day which was Artisan's Blend.  I'm out and about this morning.  I thank you for your time and Peace to each one of you.
