At dawn, I checked on these time-lines, this morning... and at essentially the same moment that the shimmering Comet ISON -- with it's long, gaudy blue-purple tail of peacock-like interstellar dust was bending oh so tightly -- around the blazing sun...
only to go almost completely dark, several hours later...
Nelson Mandela's spiritual essence (or soul, if you prefer) began traveling -- leaving his earthly body for several hours at a time (while that same earthly shell was in a deep coma state)...
His travels increased, in length and in duration, before he finally, and permanently, left this plane, yesterday...
all as reliably reported by Mr. Mandela's close family...
It is both soothing, and as a metaphor, fitting -- that his ride out of this Universe would include a perhaps 20 million mile long beautiful tail -- and legacy, right?
Namaste, one and all
