For He shall give His angels charge over thee
To keep thee in all thy ways,
They shall bear thee up in their hands,
thou dash thy foot against stone.
~Psalms 91:11, 12~
Their garments are white,
but with and unearthly whiteness.
I cannot describe it,
because it cannot be compare to earthly
whiteness, it is much softer to the eye.
These bright Angels are enveloped in a light so
different from ours that by comparison everything
else seems dark.
When you see a band of fifty,
you are lost in amazement.
They seem clothed with golden plates,
constantly moving,
like so many suns.
~Pere Lamy~
That's all an angel is, an idea of god.
~Meister Eckhart~
So many wings come here~
Dipping honey
and speak here
in your home
Oh god.
