Make yourself familiar with the angels and behold them frequently in spirit;
for without being seen, they are present with you.
-- St. Francis De Sales

I passed this angel headstone on one of my walks, and thought she had such a lovely face.
It's not that I spend my whole life wandering around cemeteries... (even though it's not long since I shared photos of Undercliffe Cemetery in Bradford.) But I do find them fascinating places, as well as havens where I can find a sense of peace and calm; a few minutes of quiet in the midst of busyness and pressure. I don't find them at all morbid. One of the Bradford area's main cemeteries and crematorium is just along the road out of Saltaire, in Nab Wood. It's a pleasant walk through the cemetery and then, via a gap in the wall, up through Hirst Woods and back to Saltaire along the canal.
Carve quiet spaces in your life and in the silence you will hear the angels.
