somewhere between
today & tomorrow
on that illusive Leap Day
Mother Ann Lee was born
29 February 1736 — 8 September 1784

Mother Ann Lee embodied cosmic feminist karma
bringing a new religion into the world
founded on principles so radical that they endured persecutions 

One could say her broadsheet was verbal;
she being illiterate to written words
yet literate in all realms cosmic
. 
The written  Testimonies of her contemporary believers 
and works of the later visionists-
scribes themselves of hearts and leaves
and maps and flowers and trees-- 
scripted scrolls brought down from spirits’ energies spoke to her cosmic energy.
