Talking to My Guardian Angel
A mysterious killer virus has come out of the mist that covers the world. Governments close borders, people buy as much as they can from the shops and start hoarding in case they’d be isolated for days, weeks or even months. Schools are closed, as are restaurants, gyms, hotels, shopping centres and theatres. Concerts, sports matches and other public performances are cancelled. Those who can work from home but many people are out of work and are afraid of the future. Hospitals remain open, as well as some shops and pharmacies. People only leave their homes when they have to, careful to avoid human contact as much as possible. Face masks have become a familiar sight. Every day fewer cars are visible on the streets, the cities look empty and ambulance sirens regularly pierce the quiet. Fear is ruling people’s minds.Is this the screenplay for a disaster film? No, it’s our reality.March 2020. Covid-19 has terrorized the world. Everybody’s at home, trying to figure out if they’ve caught the disease or not yet. At that moment a rather unusual guest arrives in a certain room in London … "Talking to my Guardian Angel" is a set of conversations about life and the world. In this parabolic story nothing is as we know it and even the simplest truths may turn out to be harder to absorb than we would like them to be.

Everything that happens has its beginning somewhere. p35
Everything passes when we're ready for it. p215
If you want more you usually have to take it away from someone else. p57
A fantasy, an hallucination, or a puncture in reality, Anna soon finds herself totally engaged by daily unscheduled visits from her guardian angel. Her skepticism is gradually replaced by curiosity and she finds herself eager for these encounters as she begins to incorporate her discoveries into her daily life.
The universe doesn't know the term 'sin'. p139
He had to reconcile the the
things he had to do with those he felt in his soul. p69
Of those who find themselves with a chance to read this book, not everyone will be as delighted with this radical new and imaginative version of the creation story and the goings on in heaven. It certainly challenges the complacent Christian mainstream version. Clever, ironic, outrageous, funny and profound, well worth searching out.
I was lucky enough to find an English copy in a hostel in Poland and it was a perfect companion for my time there.
Wherever I was, that was my home. p182
