Job 33
14 For God speaketh once, yea twice, yet man perceiveth it not.
15 In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falleth upon men, in slumberings upon the bed;

Psalm 44:25 For our soul is bowed down to the dust: our belly cleaveth unto the earth.
Matthew 3

Uranus, Dan, 5th sun of Jacob, the Judge, Aquarius has been regnant since ~1900 in its 2200 "solar system" cycle. Rise of BRIC. Strength (geo position) of Russia? Apocalypse of capitalism (at least as we know it, which is essentially another system/tool for exploitation)? The Short Season versus Amillenialism? I side with the Apostle John in that life is just an eternal quest not to die with more questions than answers... God-Man: The Word Made Flesh

They're probably on their first date, right? They probably met by answering an ad in the New York Review of Books: "Thirty-ish academic wishes to meet woman who's interested in Mozart, James Joyce and sodomy..."
