when I do what i do not want to do once and again and again i do not see the chains that bind but feel their weight and pull leaving me oh so very sad i long to forge the bond that ties me to You cinch me tight buckle me to your heart where your blood hums its song of songs and mine harmonizes swelling forth in conscious joy.

All remained mute as Quasimo set us on the path out of the city. Jezer and Tomas stayed behind with a promise to catch up soon. They saw to the needs of the traitor to sustain him until such time as he can break his bonds.
And to take care of the problem, as they framed it, of the tanker truck.
On the rise outside of the city, Reuben fell in beside me and shared something gleaned from the prisoner. If we can believe his tale, he had been sent to investigate the explosion. They, the world government, had no idea who was responsible.
From the top I saw the tanker truck on the goat tracks far to the south.
We have completed our first round of meetings, and they have resulted in a multitude of blessings. Besides the bonds that have been forged, the fact that we were kept on the move, thwarted the attempts of the authorities to locate us.
Meesa reports that all are encouraged by our freedom of movement, and they claim it to be the Hand of the Holy One at work on behalf of His children.
I confess to one lingering concern. If the authorities had indeed learned about the presence of Elijah and myself in the city, who told them?
My thoughts insist on returning to the individual who demanded that Elijah confront the persecutors with divine power.
Could anyone be so unwise?
The Captain took the ship out in the forenoon. We are a little lighter again, for we had nothing but deliveries in this port. There were no new shipments.
Our progress was slow and cautious as Tomas navigated the other end of the inward passage. Delighted by the view of the bright green islands floating on the blue, blue sea, the Hamashiachites lingered long at the rail.
Once we reached the open ocean, Elijah collected them in the mess hall and introduced them to other believers from the crew. Some strong bonds were forged today. In fact, the Raj twin G may leave at the next port to accompany them.
Elijah approves, but I wonder what his twin brother thinks.
The night was tremulous, but not uncomfortable as the climate is tropical.
At the hour of dawn it became darker still. I detected a swirling motion in the clouds but then realized it was actually a massive swarm of insects being flung far and wide overwhelming the horizon. I traced its source to a fissure in the mountain dome, and there directed Elijah’s attention.
Elijah simply said, “It is time.” And pounded the butt of his staff on the rocky ground.
The fissure gaped open and a chained monstrosity issued forth.
“Could this be Abaddon?” was my single thought.
Stan charged by oblivious to us and placed a collar around its neck.
Elijah struck the ground again releasing its bonds.
