Analysis of Rebirth & Reclamation



You don’t have to abandon previous beliefs  
to embrace what presents to you now

As windows long open whose portals of light  
wrap around each new vision—enshroud

Those messages ancient and all messages new  
interlock like the fingers of God

The truth by dimension delivering you whole    
—new lightning reclaiming the rod

(Villanova University: January, 2021)
