Trickster moves. Taboo glances. Dark dream: dark vision: dark knight. Life is chess and I'm playing black at the moment. But I fear not, since I am very good at the game. Just hope the game doesn't do some weird unannounced transform into anti-chess where the object is to lose all your pieces except the king and/or force the opponent to mate you. That would be too much like hanging with the backward-Apache warriors and I don't tender that. But something's rumbling--I'm starting to feel those psychic chills again, so I am respectfully vigilant as the literal and metaphoric night enwraps....

Got to keep remembering to keep asking more beautiful questions....

~RESURRECTION READINESS~

learned something REALLy WeIrD from a documentary last night about mummies: apparently, the Catholic Church has been/is mummifying all the dead popes (just like Pharaohs) in anticipation that they will need their earthly bodies ASAP on Resurrection Day. gone so far as to preserve a piece of the INtesTINE of the current PoPe--that had to be removed after an assassination attempt on his life--in order to include it in the mummification process after he dies!

no wonder the death angels are canvassing around looking for popes about to croak! O yes they do! they really do!

( The documentary was on TLC {The Learning Channel} entitled Unwrapped: The Mysterious World of Mummies )
