ADVENT 2014

11/30/2014: in the difference of 1.6, between two readings on a weight scale - 170.8 and 169.2 - after erro [for error] flashed after the first reading, the sum of the numbers of 1.6 is the complete 7, the 7 days of the week and the unity of the 3 of the Trinity (the Father, Son and Holy Spirit) and the 4 corners of the world

12/01/2014: in the early morning in the 2 lit head-lights of a parked auto with the red light on its roof, like the fire of the Holy Spirit at Confirmation, to form a perfect triangle, this on closer inspection is the red hand of a light directing pedestrian-traffic not to cross the street

12/02/2014: in the 3 nearby triangles, for the 3 divine directives of the Ten Commandments, each formed by 3 fallen leaves on a sidewalk; and, later, in the tiny well-formed triangle and a small, ill-formed 3, for the past, present and future, on a brick sprayed with red paint in a brick sidewalk on Broadway, near a small, blue circle also on the sidewalk, probably a cover for some electric circuit

12/03/2014: in the S, eroded by traffic, of the painted STOP on Ellsworth Avenue at an intersection, suggesting sloth has eroded spirituality or that the Savoir has become… [at about 5:15 PM, while recording this morning event, the electricity on this neighborhood block was suddenly shut off, and everything became dark. This was surprising since there was no snow, ice storm or hurricane, which had caused such failure in the past. In the darkness, the sun having set a few hours earlier, I was struck by the realization the culprit was not sloth so much as science, that the effects of the automobile were in fact the effects of science, the spirit of the age, that had eroded the supernatural in our culture. In about 15 minutes, the lights came back on.] … in the S, eroded by automotive traffic, of the STOP painted on Ellsworth Avenue at an intersection, suggesting science had eroded spirituality and that the uncorrupted TOP, the Tongue of Pentecost, in a new Confirmation was needed for the repair; and, later, in the 74 cent difference in a payment of $58.23 to the Woodbridge True Value Hardware Store, about to be entered into a computerized, accounting program, and the appearance on the monitor of a former payment of $58.97, the transcendent 7 beside the terrestrial 4

12/04/2014: in the school bus, stopped no doubt to pick up children, to which a brown trail on the road from a block away points, probably something dried from a liquid dripped from a vehicle, below the 2 green traffic lights for the 2 natures of Jesus Christ – God and man - and on the 4 red rear-lights, a rectangle of the territorial 4

12/05/2014: in the thumbs-up shadow of a statue’s raised arm in the Mother Church of Our Lady of the Assumption Church in Woodbridge on the wall in back and directly above the head of the priest giving a sermon on the joy expressed in a passage from Isaiah (29:17-25), while flashing red and white lights appear in a window on the right, refracted by the beveled glass, from 1 or 2 vehicles in the nearby parking lot; and, later, outside in the 2 circles, one on top of the other, probably of electric gauges attached to a house, to which point 2 small, painted lines with the tip of each slanted to form an arrow, the first on the black-top of the parking lot and the other on the nearby street

12/06/2014: in the small, white sign with a Crucifix on the Litchfield Turnpike in Woodbridge for directions to Trinity Church by an arrow pointing to the left at an intersection but now pointing to heaven, the sign having been slightly bent to the right; and in the lighted sign with 2 $ images and 2 words - Jewelry Closed - outside a nearby, small building

12/07/2014: in the 2 piles of metal tubes, probably aluminum, a few yards apart along the railroad tracks, the end of a tube in the first pile is bent horizontally and the end of a the tube in the second pile is bent vertically

12/08/2014: in the early morning in a small light from an unknown source that surprisingly appears inside the container with a poinsettia plant in a dark house, the leaves of which are indistinguishable, reminiscent of the morning star in the blackest pitch of sky

12/09/2014: in the of 7 letters of surface, the word to which the handle of a paint brush in a side container points among the dozens of other words on the paint remover can for directing how the liquid should be best applied, the 7 letters for the 7 personal precepts of the Ten Commandments; and, later, in the triangle formed by a handkerchief haphazardly thrown into the wicker basket for dirty laundry that landed on its edge

12/10/2014: in the garage door, to which the mandorla made by 2 intersecting muddy, tire-tracks points, that did not open when the interior garage-switch was pressed once and the remote laser-switch was pressed twice but was opened an hour later when it was pressed for the 3rd time and in the right triangle inside the garage made by an old-fashioned, iron window-weight on top of a stack of 3 bricks with 3 holes, for faith, hope and charity, one end upon the left-hand hole of the top brick and the other leaning against a supporting, wooden rib to its right

12/11/2014: in the early morning in the 3 white lights, which quickly flash in sequence back and forth from right to left, seemingly on the roof of an auto parked in the Albertus Magnus parking lot, probably of a security vehicle parked beside it but out-of-sight

12/12/2014: in the 3 divergent blue lights among the dozens of white lights surrounding the huge campus of the Southern Connecticut State University; and in the 3 black crows perched on the center of Bassett Street, when 1 flew to the right and another to the left while the 3rd remained for a few moments

12/13/2014: in the line at about 45 degrees, ¼ of a straight angle of 180 degrees, formed by 2 lit candles of the 4 Advent candles on a stand near the altar in Assumption Church, the first and shortest having been lit on Sunday, November 30, and the somewhat taller second lit on Sunday, December 7, now pointing to the wound on the side of the figure of Christ on the Crucifix above the tabernacle made by the spear of a Roman soldier from which flowed blood and water

12/14/2014: in the 3 stickers on the rear window of a pickup truck, being driven on Edgewood Avenue on this joyful, Gaudete Sunday, each with a number of something unidentified: 13.1 and 77.7 and 26.2, the sum of which is 117.0 and then 9, for Trinity once, Trinity twice, and Trinity a third time

12/15/2014: in the 40 that appears in the % present section of the dehumidifier’s Auto Reset area and in the On that appears beside it in the % set section, the former reading for the 40 years of the Exodus and the 40 days of Lent and the O of the latter reading is the 15th letter of the alphabet and divisible by 3, with the n the 14th letter and divisible by 7; and, later, in the swarm of black crows that descends to circle around something in the center of Huntington Street, from a distance a pecking circle in the shape of a rubber tire; and, still later, in the 43 Christmas cards, written at random, the 40 for said years/days and the 3 for the Trinity

12/16/2014: in the straight line made by the positions of a salt seller, a pepper seller and the ceramic figurine of a bird on the kitchen table, which points directly to Bonhams, the name of the auction house that appears on a piece of nearby correspondence, pronounced “Bon homme” or “Good man”

12/17/2014: in the fourteen, that appears under the Bonhams on said correspondence, for the genealogy of Jesus Christ - the 14 generations from Abraham to David and the 14 from David to the Babylonian Exile and the 14 from the Babylonian Exile to Christ, as recorded in the Gospel of Saint Matthew (1: 1-17), which coincidently is the Gospel reading in today’s Mass - and also in the number of the attached check – 439561 - the integers of which add to - 28 – a number divisible by both the perfect 7 and the imperfect, transitory 4; and, later, in the lighted triangle in a second floor window by what appears to be a dozen or so small, white bulbs, the only lit display appearing in the early morning darkness

12/18/2014: in the section of a circle on the top of a window of a house on Fountain Street that is sliced by the top frame and a section of another circle on the bottom of the window sliced by the bottom frame, apparently caused by the reflection of light on an uneven texture of the glass, at shortly after 9 in the morning, while the rest of the window turns to yellow whenever a bus of that color passes by

12/19/2014: in the 3 triangles of 3 small electric candles, the 2 smaller candles on either side of a larger candle in 1st, 2nd and 5th windows of a row of 5 on the 2nd floor of a home on Ellsworth Avenue, with 2 candles, 1 taller and 1 smaller, lit in the middle window, with the 4th window completely dark

12/20/2014: in the time registered on the clock outside a building on the Litchfield Turnpike of 7:05 AM when the correct time is 8:22 AM, the difference being 1:17, which is 77 minutes, luminosity doubled; and, later, in the ATM sign on the side of the Mobil Oil Station on Route 1 in Guilford as the ATM flashes 3 times before the 3 individual letters flash sequentially:

Aeternitas Transtormo Mirabilis
I change to a wonderful eternity

12/21/2014: in the 2 sets of lighted candles in Saint Brendan’s Church: 6 candles on the votive candle-stand, 5 on a lower tier and the 6th in the next higher tier directly above the 3rd in the 1st tier to form an equilateral triangle and, a few feet away under the pulpit, in the 4 candles, one for each of the 4 Advent Sundays, forming a square

12/22/2014: in the Joy on the real estate sign on Route 1 in Orange beside a truck advertising firearms; and, later, in the sign on Route 34 for some medical office that usually flashes messages but today all remain dark, except for the flashing of FT: flashes:

Fideles, Triumphantes
Faithful and Triumphant

12/23/2014: in the missing first letter of 2 institutions: A of the Alderman Motor Company sign in Meriden and then in its parking lot the T of the Temple University sticker on the rear bumper of an auto:

Adoremus Te
We adore You

12/24/2014: in the several circles of a wire wrapped and hung together on a pole beside Grove Street, probably to be strung to add capacity or to replace something defective, with a small, black container attached to them, pointing upwards;
