Maddy - thanks for the url; great images there as well. First interesting
icon I've yet to see of my birthdate's 'resident saint', Kevin/Coemgen -
although his lengthy narrative omitted my favorite tale, that of kneeling in
prayer as a blackbird built a nest on his palm, and staying there until the
little eggies hatched. I was trying to think of a way to connect this to
Venerable Levitating Brother Andres and his hands full of the eight eggs;
but probably some other Listmembers, in their esteemed flights of fancy, can
do so for me.
