The Reformation of Wolfshausen
Teil Acht-und-Fünfzig
"Again he said unto me, prophesy upon these bones, and say unto them, 'ye dry bones hear the word of the LORD.'"-Ezekiel 37:4 (Click at right to listen)
I'm thrilled that "The storm faded overnight and in the morning, a beam of sunlight levered open one eyelid on Vater Karl’s face."
I'm intoxicated from the "Wildflower perfume [which] managed to overcome damp hay and dead mice in the old man’s nose."
It was so much more than wonderful.
The thought of "Jeremiah with a piglet on his head like a helmet and a small sow in his arms like a sword" will fill every remaining minute of this weekend with such enjoyment that I'll watch ...
(with a "bright smile")
tomorrow's Winter Olympics games live from Vancouver, British Columbia.

Nessa, I don't even know my own strength when it comes to macabre adventure.
Enjoy the olympics, Karen. The biathlon was pretty cool for five minutes or so.
TLP, that lower picture is from the catacombs of the old mission in Cuzco, Peru. A memory from my adventurous youth that came into the story.
Thanks, Coop.
Thank you, TLP. I hope you and Dick had a good one. Valentine's Day, I mean.
