When we can witness, fully, our own dysfunction and correct it.
When we see our dramas as our own doing and understand they emerge again and again to show us what needs to be corrected in ourselves.
When we can act wholly in virtue instead of with a corrupted perspective of the situation, we are able to transcend one way of being to another. And virtue is being of service to the greater good of others and the whole.
To understand our own nature, to see what has grown rotten and then send it away allows us to see into others and lead them toward their own virtue. This is what the light of awareness brings. You will see your impact in both small and large ways, from little or a lot of nurturing—people will transform when they witness an angel walking amongst them. Your example will communicate hope, your leadership will instill confidence.
Angels will rise when we rid ourselves of our limitations. Of judgment and pretense that mask ourselves from wholly being seen, felt, and understood. Of pain that hurt us and muddied our views of people and the world.
Angels will rise, one and then another and then another after that...until enough of us learn how to build a better world.
