Chapter 13... Isolde Meets an Angel
I wandered in a daze for days... I could still feel Abdullah's lips upon mine and my mother's voice echoing in my ears. Bright light surrounded me as I walked along the path. My heart was full of sorrow and yet I felt the presence of something greater than myself. What is to become of me now? I asked myself... I had seen and experienced many things and healed many people. Who would heal this loneliness?
I closed my eyes in exhaustion as I saw a mirage of a beautiful cerulean stream. As I gratefully slipped into its still waters and washed the dirt off me, I felt a peace descend upon me. I laid my head upon one of the rocks and felt the Spirit of Mami Wata envelope me. A light touch on the shoulder awoken me to a loving energy. I was engulfed in a warm bath of love and healing and a voice spoke into my ear:
"I am Raphael. I was sent to you to help you. Take my hand."
