Before I provide the next excerpt of The Sky Stretches Blue, I need to get in touch with some of you, because I have copies of this book for you. Also, as this initial leg of the project begins to wind down, I will be keeping you up-to-date about some future projects coming to the community through T-Sky-S-B, such as The Shoelace Project, and the premiere of my first new album of music (in about ten years!) It is all going somewhere, and in time, all will become clear. This is picking up where Cubs Club Of CA left off, but in a more feasible and enjoyable way.

Anyway, here is the next excerpt from the book, entitled:

My Ninth Evolution
by Eric Franklin Crow

I am in the beginning
Of my ninth evolution:
"Eagle Bear"

This name withing the numbers
Initiates a new adventure
That will bring forth understanding
And balance my final line

This is a mystery
Already solved, yet not known by me.

I won't know it until I have passed through it.

Infinity: Make me Grateful
To claim this name as my own,
And help me relay
This determination to my Higher Self (Emmanuel Adam).
Let this Be so.

�2007 Eric Franklin Crow

Some things to know about this excerpt: besides my new name, this makes reference to the presence of the number 9 in my life (the underlined words are a reference to this. The last "stanza" of this prose is a prayer, similar to the devotionals that I used to write when I was involved with Metropolitan Community Church (in San Diego.)
