I’m so glad you’re okay. Such a scary experience, and then also so interesting. There is so much we don’t know we don’t know. 😉 Also - I love that picture of you. 💜

Thanks Jamie. So true, yes we just don’t know everythings that’s out there. <3

This has several hallmarks of true angel experience: the mysterious stranger with patience and presence, the inexplicable disappearance after the help is given. Other things people notice during such encounters: is the stranger dressed strangely? Unusually for the weather, for example. Angels often don't understand our fashion and also, they like to signal their connection to departed loved ones by certain fashion choices. Does the name they choose mean anything to you? Whether this was an angel or an angelic human being (which it sounds like it was) I am so glad you're okay and that when you needed help, it came.

Great writing. I was right there with you and scared for you. I didn’t know what was gonna happen next. I’m glad you’re OK and that you had insurance coverage. if I follow the story properly, the cleaning person didn’t really exist that might’ve been something you imagined or an angel or a?

Beautiful thank you .

This was so scary and I’m sorry you got hurt. The story about the woman and how nobody was supposed to be there gave me chills. I love that it’s given you an influx of joy and creativity. I love that you still love the wind.

What a beautiful telling of such a frightening experience, Rhaine. I have often heard of "earth angels" and questioned if they are real. It seems that they are...!

I agree with Jamie about the photo of you - love it!! And that angel is amazing!!

Thank you Prajna. Exactly, this is one of those stories that I told how I remembered it and am leaving it up to the reader to make their own meaning. I went through a mental list of possible answers that I chose to leave out of the piece so I still don't have a definitive explaination. xx

Thank you Cathy. Yeah, personally I strive towards finding a balance between the possibilities of the unknown, of what's out there, and science - living life somewhere in the middle. That way it provides some wiggle room 😉🩷
