A Trip To Alaska
Circus Circus Chapter 11
To The End Of the Road
As it turned out, I was unable to reach any of my friends in Juneau. I had left a message of where I would be staying so when if they returned, they could get a hold of me. I met people at the hostel and one clear day I gave a ride to a visitor from England out to the end of road for pictures.
I would be spending at least 8 days in Juneau waiting for the ferry to Whittier. I was wait listed on a booked ferry with my car. The weather in Juneau is often rainy, so when the sun shines, everyone heads outside to enjoy the profound beauty. My new traveling companion had never been to Juneau and was looking to take some pictures. I was his tour guide for the day.
There are only 30 miles of road in Juneau. Once you leave the downtown area and pass Auke Bay you will find pristine forests, majestic mountains and the sea.

A wonderful day of site seeing, my companion Dan was delighted with the pictures we had taken. He thanked me for trip, he said he would have never been able to experience Juneau in this way, if I had not offered the ride.
My week was coming to a close, I had a few more days left, my money was running out. I had enough to pay for the hostel, my food and gas. I was saving $50.00 for the ferry ride to Whittier, so I would have enough gas to drive. The trip had taken a turn for the better, it had been on a rocky beginning. I was thankful for the days as they passed.
Sunday morning just before leaving the hostel at nine, I tried calling my good friend Tag and sure enough, he answered, at last, he said he was expecting my call. I walked downtown to meet him, Wow! After not seeing him for twenty years, we looked upon each other, as if it was just yesterday.
Beings of Light
Human Angels
During each of our journeys, there are those inevitable moments when someone comes into our life at precisely the right time and says or does precisely the right thing. Their words or actions may help us perceive ourselves more clearly, remind us that everything will turn out for the best, help us cope, or see us through difficult situations. These people are human angels – individuals designated by the universe to be of service to those in need at specific points in time. Some human angels make a commitment before their births to make a positive contribution to the world at a particular moment. Others were chosen by the universe. All human angels, however, come into our lives when we least expect them and when we can most benefit from their presence.
A few of the human angels we may encounter are in professions where helping others is an everyday occurrence. But most of them are regular people, going about their daily lives until called upon to be in the right place at the right time to bring peace, joy, help, or heal someone when they most need it. You may have met a human angel in the form of a teacher who gave you a piece of advice that touched your soul and influenced your path. The person that momentarily stopped you to say hello on the street, delaying you long enough to avoid an oncoming car or a collision, is also a human angel. They may offer nothing more than a kind word or a smile, but they will offer it when you can draw the most strength and support from their simple action.
You may be a human angel yet not know it. Your fate or intuition may guide you toward other people’s challenging or distressing situations, leading you to infer that you simply have bad luck. But recognizing yourself as a human angel can help you deal with the pain you see and understand that you are there to help and comfort others during their times of need. Human angels give of their inner light to all who need it, coming into our lives and often changing us forever. Their task has its challenges, but it is they that have the power to teach, bring us joy, and comfort us in times of despair.
