.Parked cars and pickups almost plugged the streets.It wasseveral times the size of the LaCrosse crowd; people had seen or heard aboutwhat had happened there.The bus pulled into a laundromat driveway a block anda half away; that was as close as it could get.Dove, with only Knowles, onePage 169 ABC Amber Palm Converter, http://www.processtext.com/abcpalm.htmlother security man and two officers, walked through the crowd.It was louderthan the LaCrosse crowd some people were even boisterous but an aisle opened.Again the rest of the tour group stayed on the bus.And again before he left, people had gotten out of wheelchairs and off ofpallets, had thrown away crutches, walkers, white canes.The number of people healed there was not explicitly known estimates variedfrom a hundred to two hundred and fifty; the crowd was estimated at from threeto five thousand.In ten minutes, Dove, Knowles, and the others were back onboard, but it took twenty minutes for the bus to work its way to the highway.While it rolled southward on US 61, Lor Lu spent considerable time on thephone with city and county authorities, particularly regarding healing sitesconvenient to highways, where crowds were less likely to cause traffic jams.He also called network and local television stations, giving them informationand suggestions for the public, to reduce crowd problems.So far the tour crew had had little to do.Lee was the exception.She rodenext to LorLu, in the seat across from the driver.She'd finally been thoroughly briefedback at the Cote, Lor Lu reviewing with her the things she'd be doing on hercommunications laptop.It was loaded with a huge number of broadcast stations,shopping mall managers, motels, restaurants.and every law enforcementagency, large and small, in fourteen states.Rather quickly, she was handlingthe more routine logistical and liaison work.Lor Lu handled major decisions,overall integration, and emergencies.* * *After Dubuque, instead of stopping at a motel or rest area, they drove throughthe early evening to Maquoketa.There a substantial crowd waited in a theaterparking lot, and several dozen more were healed.Then the 69-year-old BarStool turned east toward the Mississippi again, and drove to another theaterparking lot at Clinton, Iowa.There perhaps a thousand waited to see Dove,with a hundred to be healed.When the bus left Clinton, Bar Stool's backup was at the wheel.Bar Stool and Lee weren't the only non-Tours staff pulled from their jobs forthe tour.There were also seven case facilitators, selected and prepared by Dove ashealers.One of them was Jenny Buckels.Beginning at Dubuque, these support healers hadmoved around the back fringes of the crowds, healing such things asastigmatism, bad backs, arthritic fingers whatever presented itself.Anenterprising citizen with a camcorder had followed one of these secondaryhealers as she did her work, and when the bus left, interviewed several of thehealed.One of them claimed that before his healing, he'd been unable to bendfar enough to touch his knees.Now, beaming, he demonstrated that by bendinghis knees just a little, he could touch his feet."My wife," he said, "won'thave to put my socks and shoes on for me anymore."He hadn't joined what he referred to as "the sick and wounded" up front,because"that's for people in worse trouble than me.All I had was some pain andinconvenience.With no more wrong than that, I didn't want to trouble themessiah."The amateur video cubeage was sold to Davenport's NBC affiliate, and broadcastnationwide on the news.It showed the backup healer's aura, which photographedas mostly pale blue mistiness, with areas of pink and green.* * *Meanwhile the bus had driven on to Davenport, where a midnight healing washeld in a mall parking lot.Most of the sick and disabled there hadn't seenthe Clinton healings; they'd already been gathering hopefully for their own.Page 170 ABC Amber Palm Converter, http://www.processtext.com/abcpalm.htmlBut they'd seen theLaCrosse and Dubuque healings.It was the largest crowd yet, despite the late hour.Police had cleared aplace near the entrance for those who'd come for healing, but the crowd was solarge that many onlookers could hardly hope even to glimpse Dove.He handled this by having the ill and disabled brought to the curb.Then,upright and calm, he levitated, floated a dozen feet above the crowd, andhealed from there, appearing in the darkness like a great golden torch.Thelevitation affected the crowd like nothing else.There was a sound like agreat "ah-h-h," punctuated by scattered screams.Art Knowles winced at such exposure.It occurred to him that Dove mightactually be safer than anyone else there, but he was taking nothing forgranted.During the healing process, cameramen in their cherry pickers recorded visibleauras scattered throughout the crowd, like soft round bunsen burner flames, asif of people caught up spiritually by the experience.This was the mostdramatic stop yet; joy made a bedlam of it.When it was over, the bus moved on to the fenced and guarded sheriff'sdepartment parking lot near the courthouse.There it stayed the rest of thenight, curtains drawn, most of its travelers sleeping.Despite the hour, Lor Lu sat using his laptop and its phone, arranging thingsahead.Lee sat next to him, her tasks somewhat similar, working from a list he'dprinted out for her.When she was done, she wanted to talk to someone, but LorLu was still busy, and almost everyone else asleep.Each person had a doubleseat to themselves.The auras visible earlier had faded from her perception,except for Dove's and Lor Lu's, which still were strong.Dove sat upright, inback again, smiling, glowing, calmengaged in what contemplations, Lee couldn't imagine.She doubted that evenLor Lu knew.Duke Cochran also sat awake, writing on his laptop, and Lee went over to him."Is it all right to interrupt?" she murmured."I need someone to talk to."Duke grinned.His eyes were bright, he seemed pumped, but his voice was amurmur."Sure," he said.She sat down by him."What did you think of it?" he asked.Her voice was as quiet as his."It was incredible.Inspiring! It's hard tobelieve this is really happening, and that I'm part of it.Here, in our time.""And the levitation," he said."That killed any doubt.""Did you have any?" Lee asked."Before that?"Duke nodded."Oh, yes.Even if he wasn't an avatar, it seemed to me that somepeople would truly be healed, with all that energy out there.But now."His expression turned thoughtful."Maybe Dove turns on some latent energy thatall of us have.He does say they heal themselves."Wearing his Tours blazer, Duke had climbed on top of the bus to watch, and hadseen the auras manifesting among the crowd.Some reading he'd done stated thatan aura was simply an energy field, and that everyone had one, all the time.But apparently they could intensify.He supposed they'd been energized byDove's presence."I'd assumed you'd reject even the possibility," Lee said."I know I did, tillrecently.""Me too." He grinned again."Even after I had personal proof that Life Healingis for real, whatever real is.""Personal proof?""I tried it out.I wouldn't say it qualifies as a miracle, but it definitelydemonstrates effective therapy." He laughed softly."It took me totally bysurprise.Got rid of old regrets, fears, resentments." Again he laughedsoftly."And fixations.Things like that." Then added, "When did you do it?""Just before we left.I'd been resisting it for months."Page 171 ABC Amber Palm Converter, http://www.processtext.com/abcpalm.htmlA minute later, Lee excused herself.Duke watched her move forward up theaisle.Hestill found her sexually attractive, but no longer lusted for her [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
