I am moved by your words. I remember some of those all too brief moments of bliss, which do catch us when we least expect it. They are what makes life worth living, like pearls you might find in seas of harsh sand. I join you in hoping the Holy Avatar is happy during these festive days of men, and I hope she doesn’t feel the stigma of the visit of the Sky Queen too deeply; for I understand these were trying times for her.
I also wish, but for all our brethren this time, that she does forgive all our foolishness and any of the insolence and distress we may have imposed on her. I do believe some of us feel some guilt, and it would be nice to feel forgiven, even if only briefly.
For this, I choose to remember her smiling.
Blessed be the Sky, for it houses Our Lady, may She see fit to grant Her Avatar some long deserved forgetfulness as She looks upon us all with her boundless kindness.
Now, excuse me while I kiss the sky.
