Angel Wings vs Broom Transportation
My Sheena is a wonderful hair dresser. She graciously keeps many in our family looking as good as we can. I am one of the lucky recipients. She was cutting Cori's hair, so I went over there for mine. Usually she is in a sweet mood, gentle by nature, but she had not had a good nights sleep, had some in-law challenges, and was understandably in a what I call a "murmur mood". We have all been there. After listening to her discussing her exasperations, I said that it just makes you want to kill them, but the best is to kill them with kindness. She had a comment or two, so I said to remember there is no problem so bad that kindness can't help but improve it. She took a deep breath, and I thinking that perhaps my mother-inspired-words helped her mind set, instead she put her hand on her hip and said, "Mother, why don't you just take your little angel wings and fly away home!" I felt like saying, "I will after you're through flying on your broom" , but I didn't. The truth is I remember times when a broom would have been a good vehicle of transportation for me. The truth is I completely understood her frustration because I have been there. I sent Sheena a text later that said, "After I flew home with my little angel wings, I did my hair. It looks great!" She text back "good, get Dad to take you on a date". Sometimes I forget that we are not human beings having a spiritual experience but spiritual beings having to have a human experience. Sometimes life is just plain fun and so worth it
