NES GADOL HAYA PO



KATHLEEN - EARLY DECEMBER SOMETIME AROUND BC, 1812,1912, 2012?...



LOOKING UP...HAVING SENSED SOMETHING IN THE AIR...SUSPECTING A PRESENCE FAR BEYOND THE FEW BUBBLES SEEN DRIFTING OUT FROM AN ON-GOING CELEBRATION WITHIN THE HOUSE OF THE FATHER...



SPHERES FILLED WITH PRIMORDIAL GASSES...HAVING BECOME AIRBORNE...PROVIDED LOFT BY WHIRLWINDS STIRRED FROM THE SPINNING OF MULTIPLE SEVIVONS...



AND, THEN, THE APPEARANCE OF THE HOLY MOTHER...A SHOOTING STAR...SEEN FILLED WITH LIGHT...WINGS AFLUTTER...HOVERING ABOVE FOR A MOMENT...RESTING DURING HER FLIGHT FROM EGYPT...



THE QUEEN OF THE UNIVERSE...IF NOT OF THIS ONE, THEN - OF ANOTHER...PERHAPS OF ALL...
