After meeting with Jesus, I went once more to Nepal where the earthquake has destroyed so many lives and buildings. Many of my friends who usually meet with me on the mountain were there encouraging people to hang on and persevere. This is what I said to a women rocking and holding her baby. I wanted to erase her anguish but all I could do was hug her for a long while and tell her that she would make it through this, that she would build her life again. I am sure she will because she is young and resilient. The people in this area are tough because they have learned to survive many hardships. Somehow, they will rebuild their homes and city.

I think it is interesting that all of us in the west have heard of Kathmandu. This is the case because of Bob Segar who sang the song about going to Kathmandu to escape the drudgery of everyday life. Eventually, he actually did take his band there. He put that far away city in our minds and on the map for most of us.

As I sat on my swing in the back yard, I thought we might travel this evening but I chose not to leave my yard even for a few minutes to visit some other planet when the one I sit upon is so wonderful. I could feel a cool, gentle breeze that teased my hair and the taller grass blades, the sky was beginning to fill with purple clouds, their upper surface still lit by the sun, small sparrows sang for mates from the tree branches and a big robin walked the grass looking for worms. “Earth is such a treasure I don’t want to visit any place else right now.” I told Jesus.

He said he understood. Though he reminded me that we were evolved for this planet just as other life were evolved for their own planet and thought them treasures enough too. Yes, but no matter where humans travel, we will never find a more perfect sky.

“Another evening then,” Jesus suggested and added, “There are still many strange things to show you.”

He told me of a specific flower on the next planet we would visit that was like a ball. Then he showed me an image of one of them. The flower looked like beach ball of different colors stuck on a stem until a strong wind came along and knocked it off. Then I watched it roll over hard rocky ground until it eventually hit a large, sharp rock and burst open, spilling its contents. It was strange but not too much different than any earth flower carried on the wind, though much larger. As Jesus told me once before, earth is so varied and complex that it already hints at most of what you’d find on other rocky planets. But, for this evening I just enjoyed sitting and visit with Jesus here. He smiled because he agreed and stayed with me for a few minutes longer.

This evening Jesus took me and a few friends to travel to the planet where he had shown me the strange flower. From up high, the flowers looked like balls strewn and moving in every direction, bumping into each other and then moving again over a large, flat rocky area. I wasn’t sure if they were rolling on flat rock or hard cracked ground but all the movement seemed driven by the wind. At one spot, I saw what looked like a tall jumble of oak leaves, maroon in color but with thorns sticking out around the leaf edges. I was sure some of the balls would roll into those thorns and break open to spill their contents. Looking around, I saw high rocky hills that seemed just as barren. I assumed we stood in a desert like area, but I was wrong.

Jesus explained to us that this side of the planet almost always faced its sun. Aha, this was a strange fact and very interesting. Like he promised, we came to an unusual planet but not a sickeningly weird one like on the last visit. I don’t mind unusual and strange.

We learned that the strong winds pushing the flowers around came from the other side that usually faced away from the sun. We went to the dark side and were amazed because it wasn’t what I expected. It wasn’t truly dark because it had points of different colored lights that glowed here and there and a large number of smaller planets glowing in the sky, or perhaps they were moons. I saw something like black leaves filling large areas but they were moving because the winds were very strong and constantly being driven from one side where it was very cold to the other side where it was always hot.

Jesus told us there was life here but not a high intelligent life.  Although he said that humans and other races would one day set up a station in the twilight area of the planet to study it. The planet had a large wobble that gave it seasons of a sort which made each side less torturous then what you’d expect. He also told us that this planet and its moons were about the same distance from the sun as earth. Also that the other planets were less distance apart than we would expect in a solar system. This made the gravity and other physical traits more complicated than I would be able to understand. I didn’t mind, I had seen enough in only a few minutes. I had liked the round sort of striped flowers.

This evening while I sat on my swing, Jesus suggested we travel to another planet. He wanted to show us something. The four of us skipped the sky tunnel this time and just gathered next to Jesus then suddenly we stood on the other planet. Stood amid swirling colors flowing and swirling in a million eddies of blue, red, yellow, white and various tints when the colors mixed together. I couldn’t tell what it was that flowed because it ran slow like a syrup rather than fast like water. It was not deep because rocks interfered with the flow in places, which made for beautiful pastels, and the wide stripes of colors covered a large swath of flat land as if filling a moving lake.

We walked further and came to huge flat rocks stacked on top of one another that provided a tall bank that halted the flow. They were discolored and banded by whatever colors flowed over them in the past. At first glance, they seemed smooth as if worn down by the flow, until I looked closer and saw serrations in the rock that looked like braiding. Next to or on top of these serrations were huge boulders that stood larger than I am tall and behind the boulders was greenery. After we glided over the huge rounded boulders, we saw that the greenery was, more or less, normal looking with huge flat leaves growing on tall stalks. Some stalks were the size of trees.

We moved through this green jungle for a short ways until we came to the origin of the flowing colors. It was quite strange, as if mud of various colors were lifting up or bubbling high out of the ground only to fall back onto flat land that had a deep slope that probably caused the syrupy material to flow into the lake bed and beyond. The whole area must have been slanted downhill. The large hole where the colorful flow rose from the ground was like a well with its center clouded over by a smoky mist.

People lived only a short ways from this misted well. They had a village set up amid the green fauna of the jungle. The people were small with brown skin but very human looking. I did notice that one or two had heads that were shaped oddly, bent seriously long-ways.

Jesus explained to us that many of the people used to miss-shape their babies heads until it got so bad some babies couldn’t function until the angels gradually encouraged the people to halt the practice. The people had been trying to imitate the curve of the flowing colors onto their own heads and faces. The people also wore colorful feathers and grass in various places on their bodies that mirrored the colors of the flowing river.    

Jesus explained that these people were still young and simple, hardly evolved at all.

I am glad he told us this because sometimes people living in ways that we might consider primitive can be highly evolved, even more advanced than we are.

Jesus also told us that our science could probably explain what made the colors flow like sand over the ground. It wasn’t lava but minerals coming up from beneath the ground.

“It is the only place on this planet where this happens.” Jesus said. He also told us that the people don’t worship the flow but give it great respect. He explained that there are many strange areas in the universe that our science could not explain. One of those places is the place I call Ribbon World.

Ribbon World had one huge hallow, a large concave area saturated with something that looks like air but seems still and hushed, a silent bowl of spirit surrounded by green fauna. Ribbon gods, probably less than ten, but of various bright colors float back and forth within the bowl. People from many different planets go there to walk and meditate. This amazing place is considered sacred by everyone.  The ribbon gods sometimes give and retrieve vast stores of knowledge. I once compared the ribbon gods to supercomputer minds and Jesus didn’t deny this idea, although I am sure computer minds is to primitive a description to do them justice.

I suspect the reason Jesus took us to see this strange planet today was so that he could comment about the peculiarity and oddities on different worlds. I have often commented that most planets seem alike.

When I saw the flowing sand stuff, I said, “There is nothing on earth like this.” Jesus agreed. This is when he said, “There are many strange places in the universe,” and made the comment about our science.

Jesus explained that most of the flowing material we saw was a thick clear jelly like substance and that the ground provided most of the vivid colors. I thought the edge below the mist looked like a short, upside down waterfall with the substance shooting upwards rather then over. All of us agreed with this view.  It was so beautiful it wore me out looking and I was glad to leave.
