Virgo! Good Hands.

Speaking of Alpha and Omega, the man said that if it had been Hebrew it'd beeen Kalph to Lamed. His wife rolled her eyes that it wasn't Aleph to Tau, so he took a nap and woke up with Orion over his head (he slept in his son's bed where he had designated the stars) and then began thinking how much he liked kalph to lamed, except that it should be lamed to kalph, that is justice to justice. No more must the ox power of the aleph cavort in his head, nor the End of the World. It shows you that one should get out more. That led to confronting his wife with the question that knocked her socks: "if you my dear were to say when the universe was made, what time and space it was in, what would it be"? To help her he proposed Aries since the new year began then for him, and not January, but with the note that the Egyptians lived in the age of bull Taurus. Then he added that of course the Hebrew new year begins in September. And what a give away that was, for there are good, clean sources that the universe was made, created, but not infinitly in Virgo! That's as it should be, don't all of us think, to put it upon a woman to care for its birth. A woman, nay, a mother oversees its birth and with that, as she always seems to be anyway, she will be there for its death, for his mother and grandmother held their loved ones at their deaths, rocked them, old and young, and his wife had shepherded so many to the gates, holding the hand, closing the eyelids, putting in the teeth, bathing the body, singing a little song withal.
