The Archangel Gabriel brings a message from The God Of The Impossible.
- God sent the angel Gabriel to Nazareth with a message for Mary, who was promised in marriage to Joseph. The angel told Mary that she would have a son, whom she was to name Jesus. The angel said, “He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High God.” Mary asked how this could be as she was a virgin.

Most people prefer images of demons to those of angels, I think mainly due to the hollywoodean image they have of angels.
Thei’r so wrong! Allow me to show you the real #angels.
This is the description of #cherubim from #Ezekiel 10:11-14,20-21

When they moved, they would go in any of the four directions, without turning as they moved. For wherever the head faced, the cherubim would go in that direction, without turning as they moved.
Their entire bodies, including their backs, hands, and wings, were full of eyes all around, as were their four wheels. I heard the wheels being called “the whirling wheels.”
Each of the cherubim had four faces: the first face was that of a cherub, the second that of a man, the third that of a lion, and the fourth that of an eagle.
…
These were the living creatures I had seen beneath the God of Israel by the River Kebar, and I knew that they were cherubim. Each had four faces and four wings, with what looked like human hands under their wings.

And some images that correspond, more or less, to the above #description. They look so much more #powerful and #impressive than the images of demons! *

* And I’m not going to tell you what these angels can do to the demons, because I do not allow myself to write down the f word.

_LIGHTHOUSE
a lighthouse sits,
where I live,
although it is not by the sea, nevertheless a lighthouse,
eye of the searchlight keeps track
what is in the vicinity? danger?
alerting the sailor,
it is a kind of mindfulness I am referring to,
of every single activity verbal, mental, or bodily;
it is being recorded, the lighthouse has the memory of an elephant;
although, one dies and forgets; the lighthouse does not forget
the irreverent act; There is something in the world 
that retains decency in the world;
it is that shame of doing the wrong thing, 
"hiri": shame over moral transgression; 
"otappa": fear of the results of wrongdoing;
the two bright guardians of the world,
two angels wing-

Influenced by the teachings of the Buddha
an excerpt 
Hiri is an innate sense of shame over moral transgression; ottappa is moral dread, fear of the results of wrongdoing. The Buddha calls these two states the bright guardians of the world (sukka lokapala). 
Why the designation? because as long as these two states prevail in people's hearts the moral standards of the world remain intact.
When their influence wanes the human world falls into unabashed promiscuity and violence, becoming almost indistinguishable from the animal realm.
