Sylvia Browne's Book of Angels

IN THE LAST TEN YEARS, ANGELS HAVE PENETRATED THE DEEPEST CONSCIOUSNESS OF HUMANKIND. In fact, they're mentioned often in a variety of books, and are depicted in different forms in gift and specialty shops. Where angels once were relegated to places of worship, now we see cherubic angels with laurel wreaths on our mantels (as in my home); on lapels pins; and even tattooed on arms, legs, and (ahem) private parts. Why? My take is fairly simple. As I've stated many times in my lectures, so much has failed humanity that the world has turned to higher spiritual belief, a gentler belief. And what could be more gentle than an angel?…

Angels walk with us every moment of our lives. These beautiful beings, with light shining around them and wings spread out for protection, bring us not only the feeling and knowledge that we're not alone, but a certain freedom from worry. Over my mantel hangs a beautiful Campanelli painting of an angel with a hummingbird. Every time I look at it, it gives me peace and comfort. I know angels can't prevent all harm or keep us from lessons learned, but they certainly do what we know or feel to be miracles here on Earth, very real pointers in life to show us that God listens, watches, and cares.
