Krahlin September 18, 2001 I must say, this Age of Aquarius has certainly started off with a big bang! Do you know that this is the perfect opportunity for you to use whatever talents you have, to claim victory for our Queer Family? In this New Age of Miracles, not is all as it seems, and thus grief may be wasted on happy souls, while joy is spent on "les miserables". For the time prophecied by Thomas in His Gospel is now: "When the in becomes the out, the out becomes the in [and I don't think He was speaking of belly buttons, but that's okay], the forward becomes backward, the backward forward, yes means no and no means yes, gay means sad and sad means gay...then will our Lord return to establish Heaven On Earth." Now, the above was not a true quote, but a paraphrase, as I don't have the Aquarian Gospels at hand. But I do trust my angels that what I am channeling is reasonably accurate. After all, it's only our souls at stake here, so how important is it really, that I have the Gift of the Spoken Word and of Discernment? In truth, it is ULTIMATELY IMPORTANT TO THE MAX. It is also a gift, for which I am eternally grateful and joyful. Nah, "joyful" is but a weak description of this rush of gold benevolence streaming through my veins; I can barely sit still in this celestrial rapture of God's Heart in mine. Yea, who protects me, protects the Holy Grail as well! (Let those who have ears to hear and eyes to read, gather round me to form a protective shield, for I remain virtually alone and totally vulnerable to whatever comes my way...for creating my militia of soldiers seems a rather constipated process, still, even in these desperately outrageous times.) May you be awakened to your mission in achieving Queer Glory: that you may play your sacred role through your own gifts...whether of painting, writing, dancing, speaking, healing, joking, fighting, stealthing, hacking, or just plain neighborly cup-o-sugar stuff. What is won through art, through the heart a la carte, is won forever. So be smart! Any physical acts of offense or defense must be part of your art, or they shall fail you. But if be violent you must (to save your soul or another's), weave it into your dance, or your poems, or your stand-up comedy, or whatever the angels call you to manifest. For we each are blessed with abundant talents, though they be but unsprouted seeds, still, in your bosom. Now, I come along like Mistress Mary Quite Contrary, to water my garden, so bright with gay colors of every rainbow stripe! Let Northern California be your beacon, for Liberty's Torch burns brightly here! Soon, a temple dedicated to Athena shall be built, to honor wisdom and women's suffrage, and lesbian pride. At present, what stands now is a 4-story building-- 1/2-block long with a flat-iron corner graced with a tower, covered in black netting like a shroud--that the crew may remove and replace old stucco with new. However, by the time the veil is lifted (by Christmas 2001), we shall have our world's first gay church, this temple! And I live there now, in the heart of the heart of Gay Mecca: the Castro. The building is numbered 2306. And when the church is unveiled, so shall my Final Testament (or "The Faggot Bible") suddenly appear in every book shop in the world, as well as in every motel and hotel desk drawer, replacing Gideon's Bible. So, is there hope for us after all? Yes, Virginia, there is not only hope, but extraordinarily benevolent intervention about to shower us in Apollo's sun beams. Stay tuned for further updates and inspirations by the Chief of Thracians: moi! ---finis
