"My Aunt who really was a Bush Pilot used to use the term "Wing Man" . . . that's someone who watches out for you. I thought you'd like that idea. The Abbey, I think, is full of Wing-Women." (Anita Marie Moscoso)

My great grandfather wrote about an experience when he came face to face with the custodian of the seas in his book Mountain Tops of Lemuria.
"During all the excitement of the experiences of the incidents thus record, I had lain down to rest, and as I slept a vision came to me of a man of immense stature standing upon our ship's deck, with this head reaching as it were into heaven. Although immense and glorious in stature, I had no fear of his presence, but entered into a familiar conversation with Him. He was the custodian of the islands, and directed the winds and the waves. His protection and preservation extended to all who mad His acquaintance, for He came to all who sought Him. His brilliance cast a gleam of glory over the Petrel, and all my anxieties about getting back to Australia vanished, so much so that in their place a most exuberant and overpowering confidence, which still sustained me when I awoke. Without acquainting the captain to the cause of my sudden confidence in ourselves, I accosted him the next morning saying, "We will get back to Queensland all right."
I thought of hime when I read about the Wing Man Anita Marie's aunt spoke of.
What a uplifting passage. I think I would like to read his book. I shall put it on my list and check with Amazon and see if it's still in print.
Hugs, Vi
The Mountain Tops of Lemuria is not in print Vi. I acquired the only copy from the Queensland University Library and photocopied it. I have put most of it online here at Soul Food. You will find it at http://www.dailywriting.net/WatsonLemuria.htm
Thank you, Heather. I don't know how I missed seeing it before. There's so much within the pages of Soul Food that to read it all would take a year. I have bookmarked the page for later reading
Hugs, Vi
