Behind the Scenes of my Life

Scene 3

For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways; they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone. (Psalm 91, 11-12)

*dreaming*

I see myself, at around one and a half years old. I waddle around in our apartment. I throw my favorite pink ball, just to go after it and throw it again. What a fun game...

Suddenly I stumble upon a little stuffed animal and fall. I start crying. My mum comes running, picks me up and comforts me.

The scene rewinds and I see myself playing with the ball again. However, this time, I see another figure in the room. It is surrounded by soft light and not very clear. In disbelief, I watch as the figure watches younger me fall.

The scene rewinds again and plays a little slower this time. Like this I see, that the figure kicks a building block out of the way right before I fall. My head would have exactly hit it.

*scene change*

I'm around eight years old. I stand on top of a hill with a few friends from school. "Let's ride down the meadow!", shouts one of the boys. "Isn't that dangerous?", I ask. "Melli is afraid! Melli is a scaredy cat!", a few sing at me. "Am not.", I sulk and sit on my bike. Angrily I step into the pedals. I'm getting faster and faster. I'm being shaken and my eyes get bigger and bigger. Suddenly I fly off my bike in a wide arc and hit the ground.

Like before, the scene rewinds and like before, I see a luminous figure. It stands next to me while the other kids laugh about me and tries to stop me from getting on my bike. When I do it anyways, it holds on to the bike and puts its feet on the ground, trying to slow me down. And then, when I fall, the figure suddenly lies on the ground and I land on top of it. I get up and I'm well. I got away with just a few bruises.
