Chapter Twenty
Samuel sat on the edge of his bed, looking out the window at
the soft drift of snow that was falling as Jimbo came into the room, gently
shutting the door behind him. He looked bushed.
"Man, that woman is something else." Jimbo sighed,
as he almost dropped like a rock onto his own bed.
"I bet." Samuel agreed, still looking outside.
Jimbo shrugged out of his warm jacket and heavy sweater,
then grabbed his suitcase and unzipped it. He tore out a pair of thermal
pajamas, then headed for thee bathroom. He shut the door and several moments
later Samuel could hear the shower running.
Samuel felt a slight presence sit beside him and turned to
see Al seated there.
"It's her, isn't it?" Samuel asked.
Al nodded, smiling brightly.
"But how come she acts as if she never met us
before?"
Al arches an eyebrow. Samuel frowns, then gets it.
"Jimbo and I were seeing another incarnation of
her."
Al nodded.
"But Jimbo never sees those things."
Al shrugged. "Things change."
Samuel brightened. "You mean he's opening up to the
Light more."
Al shrugged again. "Perhaps."
Samuel laughed. "Quit playing Yoda with me. Is he or
isn't he?"
Al vanished.
Outside a bright light shone into the room.
Samuel stood up, bathed in the radiance. He moved slowly to
the window and then his eye widened in awe. The Angel of Shasta Mountain was
standing outside, holding a bright star clapsed between her hands, over her
head. Her eyes were as bright as moons and focused on him.
Her gigantic wings, which were really huge whorls of
beautiful, radiant energy, swirled behind her, giving them the feeling of
motion or movement.
Samuel stood there bathing in the Light and feeling that
somehow everything was going the way it should be.
"Samuel, can you throw me my robe, please?" Jimbo
shouted from the bathroom door.
The Shasta Angel became a twisting whirl of energy and shot
up into the sky, then vanished.
Samuel turned around, grabbed Jimbo's robe and tossed it.
Jimbo caught it, then froze a moment as he noted Samuel's expression.
"You look like you just seen the devil."
Samuel laughed.
