When an Angel Decides
A person always wants something.
More, less, one thing or another.
But do you know what’s curious?
When someone says they want everything — or nothing at all — it means they don’t know what they truly want.
— And how can one recognize what they really want?
— Is that important?
— Yes. To be needed. To be close. To help in a moment of doubt — to guide, to prevent.
— You are an Angel now, Tavis. You will already know what the soul entrusted to you desires. But the question is — will you be able to help? Because it often happens that people do not do what they truly want. They ask for money when what they long for is recognition. They search for illnesses when what they need is warmth and care. They want to confess their love, yet ask for a yacht for a journey instead of making a simple call…
— Yes, I remember the yacht.
Back then, I wanted the sea — and to share that moment with my loved ones. I simply thought about it, and you gave me the chance to live it.
And you know… that moment at dawn — the road toward it, the creaking voice, the laughter of my family…
It is one of my brightest memories.
Do you have moments like that?
Do you — the primordial Angels — remember?
She looked at him in silence.
It seemed as though centuries of life were rushing before her eyes.
That very moment
when, amid silence and light,
her whispered “Yes” merged with the whisper of millions…
Was there anything more important in her story
than that moment of acceptance?
To watch people meet,
look into each other’s eyes,
and say “Yes”.
To see how doubts about the necessity of confession dissolve,
and how unions of love and faith are formed.
How this faith, once born,
overcomes temptations
and grows stronger;
how the flame of love ignites,
warming hearts
and melting the ice…
But also —
how a bridge collapses,
how cold currents flood the hearth.
How tears well up
when a soul departs into the darkness,
to a place from which it may not return,
burning itself
in the infernal fire of its own curse.
To know that a path back exists —
and to see
how it is rejected.
And then she stands beside them.
She speaks of strength of spirit.
She points to the path.
She turns to God with a plea for help.
Together with other guardians,
she builds a chain of favorable conditions,
she lights the stars to guide the way.
She parts the clouds
to dry the tears
and the mire of disbelief,
so that love
and warmth
may once again be welcomed into the heart.
She made a decision —
she would not retreat.
She would do everything
within the codes, canons,
and laws of the heavenly powers
to preserve love,
granting the resolve
to choose the path
and not turn away from it.
She was the first of all
to return lost souls
to one another.
Then the extinguished fire
flared again in the darkness
and never went out.
That was when she was named
the Guardian of Love and Resolve.
That was when she felt
her wings unfold,
her strength grow,
when a soul
chooses the rightful path.
— Yes, Tavis, there are such moments
that we mark in our history.
Beyond the first “Yes”,
they are different for every angel.
For me —
it was the first decision
to guard love.
And also that moment
when I realized
that a human soul
must come to us
and complete our primordial powers
with earthly experience.
That soul was you, Tavis.
Thank you for that.
Thank you for living as you could,
for making mistakes,
yet not giving up.
For falling —
and rising again.
For recognizing
what I was giving you.
And thank you
for being with us.
