We have the same storm here. But here, it's guck. I'm going to print that out. I love aesthetic reports. Good boy. I think we got an inch of rain today. So far, it's not bugging me. Nine months to go. :o) I am looking forward to moving to the SW. Dash was telling me of the summer storms they saw doing work in Phoenix. Whammo. Winds hit 55 mph here. Well, near here. 55 foot waves out in the ocean, the weather dood says.

Two Angels Meet or Excerpt from the "Angels of the Earth" by Wilson MacDonald Two Angels Meet As I was watching a cathedral of white clouds, whose stones had been quarried from the dews of that lovely morning, I was approached by a woman who was wandering here and there aimlessly, but who had great wonder in her eyes. She put out her hand to me in a friendly way for she had observed me for some time and was delighted that any mortal in this dreamless age could look so long and so lovingly at the the white triremes of the sky. "I am the Angel of Dreams, "she said, "but none of my dreams ever seemed to come true. I have searched everywhere for someone who could tell me wherein I have failed to make true my dreaming.." "Please name me some of your dreams, I asked. I dream of the day when every child on earth will have a wide meadow in which to play - a meadow yellow with buttercups, and splashed by the foam of white daisies." "A beautiful dream," I answered. "But tell me more about your dreams." "I dream of a day when in all the world there shall be neither rich nor poor." Then she related to me many more of her other dreams and yearnings, and each dream seemed more beautiful than the last. This would be a perfect world if your dreams should come true," I said to her as she rose to depart. "Alas, alas!" she cried. "That can never be." cont'd...

Two Angels Meet cont'd... or Excerpt from the "Angels of the Earth" by Wilson MacDonald Some weeks later , as I was again pasturing my eyes on the harvests of heaven I was saluted by a woman whose shoulders were as broad as those of a man and whose arms and legs were of Amazonian strength. "I am the Angel of Action, " were the words with which introduced herself to me. "I have often watched you as you sat looking at the heavens, and wondered what joy could you get from looking at so uninteresting a sight as a bank of clouds." "My daily hour with clouds is the foundation of all my material success, " I said "If I fail to look into the heavens for even one day everything that I do or touch suffers from this omission." "I have been growing more dissatisfied with my work day after day. I have erected the largest buildings anyone ever built and I have made the greatest ships that ever sailed the sea - but there is something lacking in everything I do, " replied the Angel. "I saw failure in your eyes when I first looked into them, " I declared. Come and sit with me for a few days during my dream hour and I think you will find out wherein you have failed." The Angel came and sat beside me day after day and her restlessness, which was great at the start, grew less and less with each visit. Then one day the Angel of Dreams was about to pass by and I called to her. "I want you to meet my friend, the Angel of Action." cont'd... Printed in 1963 Thomas Nelson and Sons, Limited of Canada

Two Angels Meet cont'd... or Excerpt from the "Angels of the Earth" by Wilson MacDonald The two women shook hands, and when the Angel of Action looked into the eyes of the Angel of Dreams, a great new joy came into her heart, and when the Angel of Dreams felt the strong hands-clasp of the Angel of Action, she knew for the first time that her dreams would now come true. The two Angels sat looking at the clouds during my entire feast hour and then, arm locked in arm, they hurried away. Within a few years the foam of white daisies was splashing in the faces of countless children, and there was neither a poor nor a rich man anywhere to be found on the earth. The alleys of the cities had all become streets, and the streets were avenues, and the houses and the temples were now so lovely that their size was never noted. There was no longer any word about the length of the ship, but there was much talk about her graceful sailing and her safety and the dark beauty of her sea washed hull. And these two Angels walked together on the earth for a thousand years. Reprinted without permission by Graystone
