The Twin

This is a fragment of a poem from the Cologne Mani Codex, and I think it is the best.

. . . reverently . . .
and I acquired him as my own possession.
I believed
that he belongs to me and is mine
and is a good and excellent counselor.
I recognized him
and understood that I am that one
from whom I was separated.
I testified
that I myself am that one
who is unshakable. . . .

In other news, there are pictures from DC and from dying eggs up at Picasa. I am writing finals. One day I will label and caption those lovely pictures, but today is not that day.
