Do angels really exist?
Maybe they do. Or can it really be only coincidence that the little boy decides to follow the butterfly in the precise moment when the flower pot falls from the window sill over his head and thus misses him by inches? And why can he make up with his friend all of a sudden again when only moments earlier they were both so very mad at each other?
Hush! Can't you feel something? A flickering in the air? A rustling sound, a whisper, a soft caress? A tiny push, a soft nudge?
Sometimes they seem to be there in exactly the right moment: angels, they do take care of us, don't they?
