Angel Cards

I was riding the bus to school. A bunch of older boys were passing around a jar with the lid on really tight and they could not get it undone. They had promised that if anyone could open it, they would be able to have some of the contents of the jar. Chocolate candy balls. So of course I wanted to try. But I was only 6 and a girl so they kept saying no while passing it around again. I felt a presence swell up inside myself and I knew that I could open it. So I jumped out of my seat and insisted they let me try. One of the oldest boys said, "Let her try, of course she can't do it and then she'll leave us alone." But I knew that I could, and the minute they gave me the jar, it moved easily in my hand, like something was pushing it without my effort. They stood in shocked silence. I smiled and took my candy. They insisted it was because they had all loosened it or I could never have done it. I knew it was something else, but I kept my secret to myself.
