    Then upon that hill And in the dark of tides Slips the hands of time Across divides aligned The three dangers in sight, in flight alight Forsooth and sook the shooken shakes and quakes stitchin here and there from stare to stare lines crossed in stint, who came and went from mouth to mouth, breath to breath face to face, who takes the place Far down the kind- red tides unwind for a spinning dance where the word is heard in place of that space blue skies and pain resolved for rain a name a face a time a place a seed a creed a case a trace And she was inside, while he was a bride, taking her hand for followers of the land to come across, they waited aside, waiting their turn to undergo her turns same in its ways with no air to be found but the last second afforded a bright white light at the end of the tunnel they saw in time's flight and he exclaimed another to take them for rest until the end of days and nights of the best kind variety take your pick my guest But who would trace their seeds to that place and taking all the notes* to wit and foe-[cuss] magnifications in glass so crystalline and passed by word of mouth alone down to the bone for the ways are long the nights are strong and the tides are rough but never enuf... Herodias's second husband was Herod Antipas (born before 20 B.C.; died after 39 A.D.) half-brother of Herod II (her first husband). He is best known today for his role in events that led to the executions of John the Baptist and Jesus of Nazareth. Antipas divorced his first wife Phasaelis, the daughter of King Aretas IV of Nabatea, in favor of Herodias. According to biblical scholars, the Gospel of Matthew and the Gospel of Luke, it was this proposed marriage which John the Baptist publicly criticized. Besides provoking his conflict with the Baptist, the tetrarch's divorce added a personal grievance to previous disputes with Aretas over territory on the border of Perea and Nabatea. The result was a war that proved disastrous for Antipas; a Roman counter-offensive was ordered by Tiberius, but abandoned upon that emperor's death in 37 A.D.. In 39 A.D. Antipas was accused by his nephew Agrippa I of conspiracy against the new Roman emperor Caligula, who sent him into exile in Gaul. Accompanied there by Herodias, he died at an unknown date. It is uncertain if Herodias had any children by her second husband, Herod Antipas.

    IMHO - this comes across like the ramblings of a slightly (to moderately) unhinged person. In other words: it sounds a bit "crazy". But thats ok. You do you. Enjoy your little things. Have at it. Be all you can be. Knowing is half the battle. G.I. Joe!

  5. Books could provide you with perhaps about the final 5% of what you need to actually accomplish such a task. The vast majority is not revealed by the study of texts unless it is under direct supervision of someone who has already accomplished what you are trying to do.
