What if the smallest questions exposed the biggest truths?
In Your Guardian Angel, Chika Odi introduces us to Nwosu; a deep thinker whose words stir something deep within his audience. With fascinating dialogue and vivid storytelling, Nwosu draws his audience into intriguing conversations that makes one see beyond the regular, challenge the ordinary and highlight the spiritual. For instance, he asks a question about an ant faced with a chalk line on a wall. At first thought, the answer is a straightforward one but a deeper look at the same question opens up a world of possibilities. Nwosu asks; Take for example Nwude, an ant crawling up your sitting room wall, and you take a piece of chalk and draw a line across its path. Now, what do you think is the first thing the ant would do upon getting to your line? Well, Nwude replied. The ant may crawl across the line or make some kind of a detour. You are correct Nwude. Nwosu answered back. But, you are not telling us the whole story. For example, what do you think is the very first thing that the ant will do upon getting to your line, before crawling across it, or making a detour? Nwosu insisted. What else can the ant do? Nwude replied. But of course, the ant will do nothing else but crawl across the line or make a detour. There you are wrong Nwude. The first thing the ant will do upon getting to your line is to pause. The ant will pause before taking either of the actions you mentioned before. That momentary pause in action is the tiny mind of the ant in action. You may call it a tiny mind, a simple mind, instincts, or some other things, but you must also call it, the mind of the ant in action.

The deeper question from the above scene is; Is the ant's path just about crossing or detouring or is there something more in that pause before action? With themes touching on nature, destiny, the unseen, and the soul's journey, this book does not give you answers, it stimulates your mind to search for your own answers.
