My mother's family immigrated from Lorraine in France. She was fascinated with Authorial Legend. She believed that the Grail Quest was about the bloodline of Jesus Christ. King Author divorced his first Queen Guinevere and sent his knights out to find the Grail: the daughter of Jesus and Mary Magdalene. Sir Persaville persevered and brought her to marry Author. This legend implies a union between Britain and the Throne of King David. Okay, so I asked my mom what does that have to do with us? She gave me a Mona Lisa smile, "The Messiah." I've been watching these Britains on CNN rioting. This is the source of world peace? Jerusalem is in chaos too. It looks hopeless. The Ten Nation Confederacy is falling apart. Those German Barbarians are there only hope. Oh, Jeeze. My mother was convinced this new Messiah would come in my lifetime with a sword, "Excalibur!" My sisters were not so impressed. They explored sexual magic. It was a house divided, between Irish Catholicism, my mother's Kabbalahism and sexual magic. I would spend summer nights on the roof star gazing. It was peaceful. I think my obsession with nylons started with my sisters dressing me up. I didn't like the make up or dress, but the nylons were sensual. Wow-we-wow-wow! Mom said that "this" although this was fun, it would not be acceptable to strangers. I should dress like a man, "There is a danger from society." Well, this all started with my mom's magic, she told me to question everything. That included dressing up in my tiny noggin. I think King Author would have beheaded me. But, it doesn't always have to be acceptable to be fun. :) |
