Behind the Curtains

It's almost December and I have managed to write only two posts for this month. I have squeezed my brain out for the last couple of weeks since I came back and sought for inspiration from the blogs that I read, but still ~ nada ...  Dad's old painting  Maybe I was just looking too hard at the wrong places...but... On the second day of the liturgical year, three people   visited me in my dreams . They gave me back some personal things I left in the missionary house.  A former confidant  spoke to me in my room and asked for my forgiveness.  While in reality, I've chosen complete  silence over the matter ... in my dream, I unleashed all those feelings ensconced all throughout these three years.  I woke up with tears.

They Met Me In Dreams: First Part I saw familiar faces and heard them droning, looking at me with strange eyes, as I brisked my way to the empty pew. The celebration was about to start but something just didn't fit in the picture... I fail to point what it is...         "No..."                  "Why?" They continued to drill my thoughts and I... I woke up with those queries reverberating on my mind... My missionary friends would often visit me in my dreams especially on my periods of desolation... but they usually came in twos or threes and prayed for me. This time, 2nd of October, they were an assembly and have celebrated the Eucharist with me. It was the Feast of the Guardian Angels... exactly two months after Our Lady of the Angels of Porziuncola.
