Foray into mysticism

Deborah's birthday challenge reminded me of my "Bajoran" religious texts, written in an earlier phase of my Trek-writing. I've dug out the notebook where I collected the items of my "Bajoran Breviary" and began translating the texts. It's such a relief to work on something short for a change.

Problem is, I don't know if I can ever post them on ff.net. They are not really stories, after all. Some of them are poems, others are so-called "teachings", about a page or two long, they won't really match any given category. I'll have to create a story frame among them, and I just can't think of a convincing one.

To Finch, with thanks

Hey, you still are reading the TOS/Galactica thingy? Thanks a lot! Actually, after nine months after the last update, people were still ready to return to it. Go figure.

Oh, and BTW - the fat guy you remember wasn't Boomer, but his best buddy, Jolly. Stupid name. Boomer was more or less how I described him (or so I hope), played by Herbert Jefferson, jr.

Happy birthday, Deborah!

Lookie, lookie, here is the first part of your prezzie. It's not beta-ed, and since I've just translated it from Hungarian, it might be grammatically awkward, but it's all yours. Until I find someone to clean out the grammar. :)

And many happy returnings!
