🎵 Steemit Open Mic Week 103 - “So Many Angels” (Original Song)
For our 10th consecutive #openmic entry, we have a song of encouragement, recognizing the angels who guide and guard my family and yours. This past weekend, I experienced a major breakdown / breakthrough, which I'll describe briefly, connecting me profoundly with the spirits that safeguard us.
Before I share this song, I invite you to visit the new Steemit Vision Quest, launched by our dear sister, @rensoul17. Super special! The current theme is "Storytelling," and I would greatly love to know your stories, if you have something meaningful to share.
“So Many Angels”
The Song
Surround me now
How can anything bring me down
When angels are all around
I have everything I need
Right here with me
Protect my mind
Dominating everything I think
Filling me with feelings of ease
I know what I need to know
The clarity is crystal
These rays of light
Red orange yellow green and blue
Violet indigo and others too
All the colors of the Hummingbird
And the Rainbow Warrior
Guard my heart
Giving me the courage to devote
My soul to continual growth
Elevating consciousness
Lifting spirits

The Story
Saturday night, I went to an event celebrating my friend's upcoming wedding. I spent the wee hours of the morning fighting for my life, with a dozen brothers helping me to persevere through a very humbling crash. Angels and saints and eagles and whales were with me, helping me to trust the divinity in it all.
To summarize, I felt like I was turning into a plant. Seriously, at one point, a horse bit my forearm, as if it was trying to break some thick straw in his teeth and chew up my bones. I spent hours on my hands and knees, dwelling in the dirt, surrendering to a cosmic dissolving of my ego. I might have slipped into a mindless existence or left my body entirely, but my brothers wouldn't allow it. They helped me to find my willpower again, and ask my Papi to save me, and bring me back to wellness in body, heart, mind, soul, and spirit.
Right now, I'm cherishing friendships, and appreciating the song, With A Little Help From My Friends - The Beatles song, performed by Joe Cocker. My heart feels deep gladness for my friends. Some of whom saved my life, praying for me, singing for me, lifting me up, holding me up, waking me up, splashing water on my face...
My friends fought for me in so many ways, showing compassion, being fierce and protective for me, being accepting of me and my flaws, sharing sacred space with me, gifting me, working so many wonders for me. I'm feeling waves of emotions, with gratitude.
I'm so sorry. Please forgive me. Thank you. I love you.

Brother @cabelinsay a great joy to enjoy this wonderful video and listen to this beautiful song, very spiritual that made me dream of those angelic voices, today I want to congratulate you for your great artistic contribution and the support you give us all with your program 🎨 Steemit Vision Quest, and I invite you to share the opportunity to participate in the blogs @yidneth, with this small tribute to our friends in the community, expressing your positive and very spiritual thoughts. I wish you all the luck of the universe in this wonderful contest as it is the "openmic", thanks for being part of us.
It's always a pleasure to hear from you, brother, thank you. Yes, I'm with you in appreciating @yidneth. What a treasure she is.
I'm just now seeing that you've mentioned me on her Yidneth Music and Art and Curation blog post. Thanks so much for that! You're so kind.
I love the music .. Thank you for singing for us .
My pleasure! Sweet of you to share your encouraging words.

Beautiful interpretation and music @cabelindsay!
You have so many people who love and respect you and give thanks to you for enhancing their lives and encouraging them to look deep within and without towards a better, deeper understanding of themselves and a compassion for all things.
I don't imagine you need forgiveness for a moment of vulnerability. I am so glad you felt nurtured and surrounded by a safe environment and group of people who allowed you to endure what you endured in a space that was supportive and respectful.
Everything you do is conveyed with all your heart and soul. Give yourself the forgiveness and unconditional love that you would so willingly offer a stranger. You are divine, you are beautiful you are deserving and you are exactly what and where you need to be. Trust yourself and trust your path. You have given me strength when I have been depleted, and I'm sure I'm not the only person here to testify to that. Don't be afraid to take from our shared energy, we are strongest and bravest at our most vulnerable moments. Humbled perhaps, but with that humility we can strip back that which is unessential and find that we possessed the purest self underneath all along.
Bless you my Brother.
