Endless Knight

#21 Zee

Thanks, Zee!

Sometimes, I think most of my fun in writing comes from ``confusing`` individuals like you!
I have a feeling that others were confused, too. But I don`t think they will admit it, like you did. :)

Derive carefully and watch out for those dears!

BJ,

I guess you tied me in knots. Ok got it. The `eternal knight` coming to claim his own and what was always his .. beutiful.

No, I don’t own a yellow Hummer.

For those who don’t know it already, “The Pale Horse” is a Biblical term and the “knight” riding the Pale Horse represents death – as listed in the account below.

The Holy Bible: King James Version. 2000.
The Revelation
of St. John the Divine
6
The Seals

1.	And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see.
2.	And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.
3.	And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see.
4.	And there went out another horse that was red and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword.
5.	And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand.
6.	And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.
7.	And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see.
8.	And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.
9.	And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held:
10.	and they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?

BJ,

I could have sworn I have encountered it somewhere before! I wonder where?!! :)

I did point to your last article. Did you hear it anywhere else other than that?

typo ... `knight`.

And Zee, the eternal knight rides the Pale Horse!

So the eternal knoght`s Hummer was the bright yellow color it comes in ... hmmm ...

Or am I reading too much in your statement? I thought you meant someone else by the `eternal knight` ....

From the Public Safety web page of the town of West Seneca, NY

National Facts about Deer Vehicle Accidents (DVA)

Deer population nationwide was estimated to be 25 - 30 million in 2000.

An estimated 1.5 million Deer Vehicle Accidents occurred in 2002.

Drivers paid nearly $1.1 billion dollars for vehicle repairs.

150 drivers were killed across the United States due to DVAs in 2002.

86.9% of all animal related accidents involve deer.

Deer Vehicle Accidents are most likely to occur between 5 AM - 8 AM and 5 PM - 9 PM.

October through January are the most likely months that a Deer Vehicle Accident will occur.

What you can do to prevent Deer Vehicle Accidents (DVA): DRIVE DEFENSIVELY

Remember Deer Vehicle Accidents can happen anytime, anywhere, and at any speed.

Always be sure to wear your seatbelt. Most of the people killed or injured in DVAs because they were not wearing their seatbelt.

Use extreme caution at dawn and dusk when visability is poor, especially during the months of October through January. Peek deer movements also coincides with times of high commuter traffic volume throughout the year.

Slow down when approaching deer standing near roadsides. They may bolt or change direction at any time.

Deer often travel in groups. If you see one, be aware that there may be others.

Brake firmly but do not swerve if a deer enters the road in front of you. Swerving can result in losing control of your vehicle and increase your chance of injury or death.

Deer crossing signs mark areas where extra caution should be used. Slow down, pay attention to the road, and drive defensively.

If you hit a deer, contact the local Police Department immediately.

Thank you, DM-ji.

Well said! Most of the damage that we do to our fellow travelers in this world is merely due to our own inattention – and not through their fault – be it the deer or be it Iraq.

Thank you Ahmedmadani sahib and welcome back to my board! (I love your thoughtful and heartfelt inputs.)

Like I said to DM-ji above, most damage to our fellow creatures in unintentional but is damage nevertheless. In case of the deer, we have encroached upon her natural habitat and taken it over – kowtowing to commercial interests – taking over what used to be absolutely hers to roam freely – and now she dares to cross those paths only at her own absolute peril – and only when there is absolutely no other choice! Sad, na?! :(

A very poignant description of an all too familiar phenomenon. We all see signs of deer crossings while driving on highways but barely pay any attention to it and, if we do, it is to save our car fenders from bending and not for what our carelessness might do to a deer or her child.

BJK.... I liked your story, It always pains me to see cruelty in world specially to animals and trees. Its genocide of wild animals and trees, jungles . Changing of water courses and moving mountains just breeding like rats of humans. It really feels depressed many time.
Good night everybody.

I did not mean to exclude Jang from the list of ``my dears``! The omission was an oversight.

And Zee, the eternal knight rides the Pale Horse!

#Subroto, VRV, VSG, Zee

Thanks a lot, my dears!

VRV, this work is no translation – except for the simple fact that ALL written words are merely approximate translation of feelings and thoughts – which are like little gulps of water – all drawn from the same eternal well of thoughts and feelings provided by the Almighty. Sometimes we put too much emphasis on ourselves as mediums, or even that well – forgetting the simple fact that we are all mere mediums for the same message.

Jang, thanks for the technical tips.

Zee, thanks for the link to the song! It sounds great. I kid you not, I could have sworn I have encountered it somewhere before!

I wonder where?!! :)

Dedicated to the sensitivity in this one as well as the previous article of BJ Kumar:
