Something I Learned from My Angels

Every person has a happy place.  And if  a person can’t find that happy place, one just might find an end to life and living.  Some people will search for a happy place, and in their search will find a happy place that is destructive in one way or another.  Some people find a happy place only in drugs and alcohol.  Some find a happy place in church and community.  Some find a happy place in doing something they always wanted to do in life.  There are a variety of ways to find a happy place in life. 

I found my happy place 24 years ago, and what makes mine different is that it’s not an earthly happy place.  I find life incredibly stressful because of my happy place.  I commune with God and Angels.  And apart from family, life for  me is quite stressful because of this.  My own happy place is communing with God and Angels.  I don’t expect one single person to understand this about myself.  But knowing this is what doesn’t matter to me.  I have quite low expectations when it comes to sharing anything about my Angels with anyone.  But that doesn’t bother me.  It used to bother me.  In fact, it put me even more in a stressful place than I had been before.  But I learned that because of my Angels, I couldn’t have traditional happy places that many people have.  Stress is what causes most anyone to find a way to deal with it.  My Angels caused me a stress that I thought others might understand, but then I realized that no one could understand.  But I learned to deal with it.  How?  I became more reclusive. 

Every person has his or her happy place in life.  Everyone experiences some kind of stress from life and living.  I have heard people say that family is stressful.  And when family is stressful, one either finds a different family or one will seek relief from a stress that cannot be escaped.  That relief can either be destructive or constructive.  And if it’s the former, one will turn to antisocial behavior including alcohol and drugs.  Some people turn to money, which can either be accepted or rejected.  Wealth has its own set of problems.  But poverty has a pain that is too often solved oi an attempt to escape life all together. 

My Angels are quite constructive, except they make me rather reclusive.  And then life has its own kind of stresses for me that aren’t relived by either church or community.  I am reclusive by choice. I would rather commune with God and Angels than be around people.  And while I used to think that most would understand, I realize now that no one can understand except a very few.  But understanding from people isn’t something I seek any longer.  I wanted people to KNOW, but I wasn’t expecting understanding.  And I still don’t.   In MY thinking, God and Angels understand perfectly, and to me this is all that really matters.  Peace.  I am Brother Ralphie writing for my Angels from The Angels of Life Institute.  Brother Ralphie works from his study for the promotion of Peaceful living and inner Peace with God.
