When Adam Ardnett died Henri Nouwen rushed to be near his body, and said this prayer: "May all the angels guide Adam now into paradise..." There it is, thought Nathaniel: "a journey of angels, by Henri Nouwen" Adam's journey invoked by Henri. But Henri was doing more than speak of Adam as some distant other. Henri saw Adam as a companion to his soul, and when he spoke of Adam's journey at death, he was looking toward his own death as an angelic journey into paradise.
