Somewhat Exegetical Dick
I think I'm putting the pieces together, the final ones. For God's sake, Cristina, be cautious with who you discuss this, if you do at all with anyone. I'm being super careful as to whom I'm telling this to -- in all candor, just you and my dog; other people like Jimi even, and Peter Fitting and so forth -- just fragments. I'm not kidding, be careful.
It's adding up and it spooks me, for obvious reasons. As I nail it down I get more and more frightened, but then I calm down and feel very relaxed because it's such wise stuff, such good stuff that's coming to me at night. Last night, for example, I heard her (you know, my anima, the sibyl), singing along with a choir:
There is a Hand to turn the time, Though thy Glass today by run, Till the Light that hath brought the Towers low Find the last poor Pret'rite on . . . Till the Riders sleep by ev'ry road, All through our crippl'd Zone, With a face on ev'ry mountainside, And a Soul in ev'ry Stone. . . .
With advice like that, how can I lose? (Seriously, she did sing that, but what it means I have no idea. I don't even own any slippers. Two nights ago I dreamed about the Goddess Aurora, who is the Greek Goddess of the Dawn. I sure have odd nights.)
