At once a friend, familiar and oh so welcoming, illuminated something inside. Dostoevsky plays “The soul is healed by being with children” But he is dangerous to this one - but not the many. The spark in the night overwhelmed apprehension, so I walked up to the little guy. Fiddling with a Christmas projector, The Illuminator – My Illuminator, was…

rest for the night; while asleep he experiences an astonishing epiphany.
