Raphael So you need Healing (50%), Knowledge (80%), Inspiration (60%), and Strength (56%)?

Archangel Raphael is the Angel of intellect, creativity, healing, joy, courage and hope. This Angel will bring guidance and sustenance to anyone feeling lost, whether physically, emotionally or spiritually. He is called "The Illuminator," because he provides a "Torch of Angelic Light" to help humans light their way through life so they can more effectively avoid hurdles, overcome challenges with less effort, and see the opportunities and spiritual rewards that lay ahead. He encourages self-motivation in becoming who we’re meant to be, and reminds us to seek truth in all we say and do. As we light our way into the future, a sense of courage will naturally come to us. Students as well as teachers are in good hands if Raphael is watching over them. He inspires a heightened creative visualization and allows us to better focus on a particular activity to achieve a specific goal. Raphael is the Patron Angel of doctors, scientists, writers, and anyone working in the field of endeavour in the liberal arts or sciences. Being the leader of the Angels of Healing, Raphael offers cure of all kinds for humans, animals, and nature. He is a protector of children, and that goes for your inner child, too. He teaches us to laugh easily, and to enjoy life. Raphael is said to be the friendliest and funniest of all the Angels. A Bit of Trivia: Raphael is one of the four greatest Archangels, the other three being Michael, Gabriel, and Uriel. His symbols are the healing hands and the Caduceus, a winged staff intertwined with two snakes, which can be seen on the signs of pharmacies and hospitals. He is the Angel of Mercury, and thus the ruler of Wednesday, the day of learning and travelling. He corresponds with the Wind signs, Aquarius, Gemini, and Libra. Raphael can be seen on the Tarot card Key 6 – the Lovers, which symbolizes our three layers of consciousness, with the man being the conscious, the woman being the sub-conscious, and the angel being the super-conscious.

Raphaelalam!
He he. Angels are cool.

I tried writing something profound in my diary last night but nothing really came through. I'm reasonably content in my place at the moment. Which is good. I feel a great compassion for all beings, especially the little ones that people generally tend to swat or stamp on.

The only trouble is, love and grief are unhappy pals. I must learn that things are fleeting as well as being wonderful. That the snail I don't crush probably got run over after I turned the corner or the fly that I saved yesterday probably only lived for a day anyway. But at least he didn't die indoors :)

I suppose I need to meditate on such an issue more. It's funny isn't it, that I find compassion to be 'easier' than understanding the frailty of life which perhaps someone else, also seeking enlightenment might suffer the opposite.

Such is life I suppose :)
