Valentine Friends
Subject: Valentine's Day at the Rainbow Bridge
A Fable by Rosemary
Babb
Every Valentine's Day, the very air around the Rainbow Bridge begins to
shimmer, and the light grows softer
and yet brighter. A special hush falls
over the waiting animals, and they gather near the Bridge, for they know the
Rose
Angel is coming.
As the Rose Angel approaches, it can be seen to be an especially beautiful
Being of Light. This
Being is neither male nor female, because angels are
beyond such concerns. But perhaps, for purposes of this fable, we
will refer
to this Being as male. This figure is wreathed in the glowing rose color of
the heart, with swirls of paler
pinks, soft apricots, and that beautiful
deep coral pink that is the color of Spiritual love, as well as soft glints
of
gold, silver, greens, and blues. As the Angel draws nearer, bringing with
him the fragrance of a rose garden in spring
and the sound of chimes, a form
can be seen within the glowing light. This form wears rose colored robes,
and there
is the look of wings about his shoulders.
None of the animals, even those whose time among people was not happy, shows
any hesitation. All draw as close to him as possible, but there is no
pushing or impatience. Each knows it will get its
own special time with the
Angel, and none will be overlooked. For Love overlooks nothing and no one.
The Angel has
a gentle touch, a hug or a pat, and perhaps a kiss for each
animal, depending on what it most wants and needs. And for
each, he has a
very special gift. This gift is a Valentine of softly sparkling light,
created especially for each from
the very essence of Love. For those who are waiting for a special person, this Valentine contains all the love that
person
feels for them, which is surely enough to fill any heart. For those who
have not had anyone to wait for, this Valentine
contains a special balm for
loneliness, the love of those on Earth who cherish animals, as well. Each
Valentine shimmers
with light, and as the Angel presents each, its light
enters the animal's heart and sets up an answering glow.
And
a voice within whispers, "You are greatly loved, for all eternity,
throughout all time and space. The past is over, except
for its beauty and
its wonders, which will bless you forever. Those who are bound to you with
the ties of love, will
be with you always."
And for each one, another gift is included. The essence of Faith, Courage,
Peace, Healing,
or whatever else is needed, also comes wrapped in this
shimmering light.
The Angel spends a long time at the Bridge,
making sure each animal has all
the time it needs with him. Finally, it is time for him to leave, for there
is also
much to do on Earth this day. He stretches out his arms, spreading
his wings over all, and somehow in that gesture he touches
and blesses each
animal one more time. And then he quietly moves on, leaving behind
contentment, the fragrance of roses,
soft chimes on the air, and a glow
within each heart that never fades.
