The angel and the cup of tea



Amjad went into the café and sat down at a small square table . He felt tired , the old loneliness and emptiness had crept in again .
He ordered a cup of tea with milk , and waited . He looked at the people sitting at the bar , at the people coming in, at the people going out ; the head waiter talking to one of the other waiters . They were playing one of the songs from the latest CD of La Oreja de Van Gogh.
The waitress returned with his tea. She set the tea cup , the tea-pot and the milk down on the little table . As she put the tea-pot down on the table he thought he saw tiny little stars gently showering down on it from her hand . She smiled at him with understanding eyes , full of compassion , and said , “This will make you feel happy again ; I have vibrated it “ . Then she walked away .
Amjad poured the tea , added some milk and sugar and stired it absent mindedly. He picked up the cup and began to drink the tea. As soon as he drank the tea , he suddenly felt the amazing sensation of cool vibrations surging up his spinal cord and flowing out from the top of his head and above his head .The column of cool vibrations within him made him feel satisfied, complete , tranquil and happy. What the waitress had told him was true. It felt like when the Lady had given him the marbles of all the colours of the rainbow .

The waitress walked past and smiled a radiant smile . He looked up at her in gratitude .
“ Are you an angel ? “, he couldn’t help asking her . She smiled , looked down shyly , and nodded almost imperceptibly . Then she gave him another generous smile and walked away. There seemed to be something like a hallow of gentle white glow around her .
Amjad marvelled , she was very beautiful, but in a different way somehow; her beauty was uplifting , it was innocence , and he felt loved and looked after as if she were his sister . At that moment he heard a loud crash of thunder , and saw a flash of lightening outside in the square . Then he suddenly felt it : it was the sister quality he had never felt before ; he felt a sudden clearing in his left shoulder , a powerful surge of cool vibrations . There seemed to be an energy centre whirling on a horizontal plane at the base of his neck, on the left side . He felt a strong joyous feeling of relief, a strong clarity ; a feeling of strong , powerful , pure brotherly love toward a sister .

As he left the café , and walked out into the square, he looked up at the sky : there was a beautiful delicate rainbow under the dark greyish blue rain clouds.
