GRM 73.1-2
The Gospel as revealed to me
Quotation
73.1 A stony, dusty, flat road, dried up by the summer sun. It runs alongside huge olive-trees, all laden with small newly formed olives. The ground, that has not been trodden on, is strewn with a layer of minute little olive flowers, which have fallen off after pollination.
Jesus, with the three disciples, proceeds in single file along the edge of the road, where the grass is still green, protected by the shade of the olive-trees and consequently there is less dust.
The road turns at a right angle, after which it climbs easily towards a large valley shaped like a horseshoe, on which numerous houses are strewn forming a small town. At the right angle turn of the road, there is a square building surmounted by a little low dome. It is all closed up, as if it were abandoned.
«That is Rachel’s sepulchre» says Simon.
«In that case, we have almost arrived. Are we going into town at once?»
«No, Judas, I want to show you a place first… Then we will go into town, and since there is still clear daylight and it will be an evening of moonlight, we will be able to speak to the people. If they will listen to us.»
«Do You think they will not listen to You?»
73.2 They have reached the sepulchre, an ancient but well preserved monument, well whitewashed. Jesus stops to drink at a rustic well nearby.
