John saw an angel, a woman clothed with the sun. He saw in her the native image of mankind. He saw her not covered, hidden, or embellished. He saw in her the sun crowned with stars of rejoicing. The story, Clothed with the Sun, comprises a chapter of the novel, Winning without Victory, by Rolf A. F. Witzsche, which is Episode 3 of the series of novels, The Lodging for the Rose. The series is designed to explore the great renaissance principle, the Principle of Universal Love, the foundation for civilization. The fictional story, Clothed with the Sun, plays in the mid-1980s in the dessert of Arizona. It is in part the story of another story, the story of the Royal Dance, a dance centered on enriching one-another by honoring our common humanity.
