Do you believe in guides or angels?

I believe in curiosity and giving attention to the details.  I believe in quantum entanglement and that "meant to be" can change to into "something else" without proper nurturing.  I believe in giving to others what I think I need/want for myself.  I think that luck favors those who come prepared.  I believe in compassion.  I believe in listening and in intention and in looking both ways before I cross the street, but also in jumping in with both feet enthusiastically.  I believe in love, for sure.  as to whether or no I believe in guides or angels---  hmmm.  I think I believe in the concept, but I find the discussion of them, or maybe just the words used to talk about them, rather irritating and off putting.  or maybe just some of the conversations about them.  I tire quickly of talk of what one ought to do, even if it's a mystical guide or angel shoving one in a certain direction.  I prefer exploration - unadulterated by treasure maps, perhaps.  I like thinking about the idea that "the map is not the territory".  I like adventure and I think the best guide I have met is my very own heart and the best way for me to follow that guide is to be quiet and listen inside.  the more I practice that, the more life is a breathtaking journey with surprises at every turn. 

and my favorite angels are the ones from the movie "angels in america" and from the "his dark materials trilogy" by philip pullman and the fallen ones, like these, "los caídos".
