  This world
  Is but
  A fleeting dream
  So why by alarmed
  At its evanescence?

Los ángeles, esos seres puros que sirven a Dios y protegen a los seres humanos son quizá unas de las criaturas más misteriosas y atractivas de la religión, junto con los demonios, que aparecen en el arte a lo largo de los siglos.
Preciosa foto, Marcelo !

  En todas las culturas aparecen representaciones de seres alados que de una u otra forma tratan de dirigir nuestro destino. Las hipótesis sobre su origen y significado nos permiten asomarnos a mundos totalmente mágicos.

Una foto muy bonita, pero a la vez muy triste… Me viene a la cabeza la canción “People help the people” de Birdy:

“God knows what is hiding in those weak and sunken eyes
Fiery throng of muted Angels
Giving love but getting nothing back….”

  I have a guardian angel
  who keeps bad things from me
  The only way to ruin it would be for me
  not to trust me

She looks lovely and mysterious at the same time! 🙂 And also looks so like an angel in a cemetery near to where I live – they always seem to be missing a hand or half an arm. I’m wondering, if that was a fashion at the time, or just wear and tear – a mystery to me!

  Every time I visit a cemetery I ask myself the same questions: What is there beyond the mystery of death? What does an angel symbolize?

Better late than never I suppose..LOL. This one is right up my alley. I seem to have an affinity for grave yards, angels and such. Everyone is flawed and I love that your angel is as well…. Beautifully done! 😀

  It is never late if the outcome is good.
  Even if at times we forgot, we are all angels in a way.

        Awe, you also Marcelo! I’m still hoping to get time to write a poem to your “house” photo and the “two paths” or directions. They are great and I keep thinking of a way to go, but getting interrupted… : ( I’ll let you know when I am able..

A mi me gustan las texturas diferentes y también como las alas contrasten con las “rayas” de la pared.

  From hope to despair,
  from gain to loss,
  from company to loneliness,
  Life is a perpetual, continuous, interminable change.

  Vulnerability is the expression of how fragile and ephemeral existence is.

  Although most of the time we are not aware of their presence, there are many “angels” around us.
