Hi Col,
I love reading about your dialogue with the angel. It just reaffirms for me how much we truly know about ourselves and what we need most when we are willing to ask, be still and listen for what comes back, and then repeat the same process as necessary. All of my best teachers encouraged asking any question, anytime. The message I think they were trying to convey was, "When in doubt, ask." I also love the quality of answers that came for you. All to often, in the past, my idea of what kind of answer I was looking for either corrupted or got in the way of my getting a real answer, one that actually could cut through my agenda for myself and reveal what was really being called for. It seems to me that often so much of what we think we know (about ourselves, about others, about life itself) is utter crap. How refreshing to have answers come that don't play into all those assumptions we make, and how neat that you were able to make room in yourself for those answers to come through!
Nice going!
