I remember a true story I read long ago of geese flying over a frozen pond. A duck was frozen struggling in the pond. As the writer told the flock of geese flew down and pecked the ice around the duck freeing it from certain tragedy.
And so as I write this I ponder how rescuing is kindness in motion. I’ve made so many mistakes in my life as we all do but rescuing animals, helping those children and adults less fortunate brings me humbleness and joy.
To me, the angel writer, bitterness, harmful words, and cruelty casts shadows on us all. If we all sought to help
others less fortunate and especially those with no voice like children and animals wouldn’t life bring more joy?
I wasn’t at the pond that day long ago witnessing the geese rescue the duck but thankfully I will always save it as a treasured memory of the written word. I can picture angels nearby surely watching with joyous celebration.

I’ve always wanted to write a children’s book but never in my wildest dreams thought I’d become an author of three novels let alone pen a lovely children’s book. But then a serendipitous moment arrived. An acquaintance read Town of Angels. She said, “You know, this story is so beautiful you need to write a children’s book with Angel Ken and the butterflies!” I was touched and pondered it for a few months yet I knew unfortunately, my artistic skills were limited to stick figures.
