We have all directed our gaze into the sky, enjoying the peace and solitude of nature, anticipating to see the shape of something in the clouds. Cheryl Simpson started seeing angels more than 20 years ago and has been recording their images ever since. She feels that if it looks like an angel it more than likely is one, waiting to see who will notice them hovering above. Not long after she started collecting these photos she was drawn to automatic writing, a method of asking a question of ones' angels, guides, or God and receiving an answer. Often, not having a particular question in mind, she would just ask what they had to say. The messages were always uplifting and imparted pertinent angelic wisdom. Angels Overhead is a collection of photographs of some of these angel formations, and several of the angels' messages and poems. They show themselves to make us aware of their presence, to affirm we are always loved, protected and guided. We only have to ask for what we need and be patient for our wish to be answered in whatever form our Creator has chosen to deliver it, on the wings of angels.
