While taking my lunch break at work yesterday, I decided to take a walk outside. The sky was beautiful with towering pastel clouds on the horizon. The breeze smelled of summer flowers. I looked to my right towards a levy that runs near my place of work to see birds darting about. The setting sun lit their bellies the color of lightning bugs as they flitted around in circles near the bridge.
My plan had been to walk around the parking lot, but this glowing flock drew me to them. I stood watching them on the bridge. More and more birds started to appear and began encircling me as part of their flock. I could hear their gentle chirping wax and wane as they grew near and they passed within two feet of my ears. The flutter of their wings almost cooled me by creating a slight breeze. I felt as if I were among the joyous flock and they were taking me up to the sky.
I started to cry. I truly felt as if I were a part of God; the indwelling spirit encircled me in a spiral of beautiful, living creatures. The birds were my Angels, here to show me it was time for me to be lifted up.
