On Edge

I woke up in the middle of the night with this bit of verse in my head. I wasn’t going to post it, but a recent comment from Bill about “tart wine” makes me think sour grapes may be synchronistically relevant.

The grapes were theirs,
The teeth are ours.
Our palate bears
Their sweets and sours.
’Twas theirs to tell,
’Twas I that spoke.
’Twas night that fell,
But morning broke.

For those who are not KJV readers, this is a reference to a Hebrew proverb mentioned by Jeremiah and Ezekiel.

Also a shout-out to my readers from the great country of Grape Teeth.

William,
Lo and Behold, the sync Faires have shown up again!

Case in point:
Yesterday July 18th when I was doing a bit of
research about the significance of the wheel
to include in my comment,
I remembered Ezekiel's Wheel but I decided
not to add that connection to my comment.

Copy and paste ( this is from a 2012 article
written by the movie critic Rodger Ebert
who is discussing the Nick Cage 2009 Movie
Knowing.
I have commented before about my
perspective about the symbolism
in the movie Knowing. It's a great
movie . One ( out of a gazillion )
of my favorites.

There is also a black
stones connection throughout this movie.

Here's the copy and paste:
"Now to the Biblical overtones.
The movie has generated enormous interest
because it seems, some say, to be based
on the Book of Ezekiel, and the plot fulfills
prophecies about the end of the world,
visitation by aliens, wheels with wheels,
and so on.

I’m not as expert on Ezekiel as I should be,
but I can see the parallels — especially since it
has been pointed out to me that the figures
at the end might be angels, might be aliens,
or might be one resembling the other."

In the Knowing trailer clip, note all
of the Blue-Green.

What's the odds?
