I was getting ready to post when I suddenly needed to rescue a bird that was passing through (not one of the usual suspects). While he sat in my hand in no hurry to depart, we had a pleasant but important conversation about watching where he's flying so as not to hit any more windows. What if I hadn't been there to pick him up off of the cold flagstone paver? He was flopped on his side with one wing sticking out. Not a good look. Well, nothing that a warm hand and some quality cuddle-and-love time couldn't fix.

Relative to other New World warblers, it is not well studied.

Anyway, as I had already written and formatted, so I'll name him "Arthur"...

Experts now believe the sections originally belonged to a shortened edition of the tale.

There's *always* a Jewish angle:

Avalon (/ˈævəlɒn/) [note 1] is an island featured in the Arthurian legend. It first appeared in Geoffrey of Monmouth's 1136 Historia Regum Britanniae as a place of magic where King Arthur's sword Excalibur was made and later where Arthur was taken to recover from being gravely wounded at the Battle of Camlann. Since then, the island has become a symbol of Arthurian mythology, similar to Arthur's castle of Camelot.

abbreviation = a shortened edition,

the mystery location of the Isle of Avalon [אי אבלון] is in the roshei teivot, meaning the heads of [written] words, from the beginning:

The Shema -- The Daily Declaration of Faith

Deu 6

4. Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:
5. And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your might:
6. And these words, which I command you this day, shall be in your heart:

And you shall love...

the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul

את יהוה אלהיך בכל לבבך ובכל נפשך

(see also Deu 10:12; 13:4; 30:6, 10)

and with all your might:

"Further examination revealed it to be part of the Old French Vulgate Merlin sequel, a different and extremely significant Arthurian text," she said.

...and includes Merlin appearing in Arthur's court while disguised as a harpist.

With the sections translated and digitally preserved, the team hopes the same techniques can be applied to other conservation projects, particularly those involving delicate and obscured artifacts.

Obscured artifacts in Old French:

and the spirit of God was hovering. The Throne of Glory was suspended in the air and hovered over the face of the water with the breath of the mouth of the Holy One, blessed be He and with His word, like a dove, which hovers over the nest, acoveter in Old French, to cover, hover over.

~ Rashi, commentary on Gen 1:2

(to recline, rest)

The timing of Old French, now appearing at the Gates of Rome, because what's in a name:

One placed in charge: a head, a chief, particularly..

The soul of Mashiach has two dimensions. One is the enlightenment that all of creation will enjoy; and one is that there will be an individual (or a couple) that will master mind and master heart this giant planetary-scale project of coordinating all of humanity into a single, smoothly operating organism, that will run as efficiently as a person's body...

"And the spirit of G-d hovered upon the waters." (Gen. 1:2) Midrash Rabba explains that this "spirit of G-d" hovering upon the waters is actually the "soul of Mashiach," a term that refers to the highest possible G-d awareness/truth awareness that human beings are capable of.

Glass-Half-Empty Consciousness of Tisha b'Av

In summary, the content flows from the assertion of the oneness of God's kingship. Thus, in the first portion, there is a command to love God with all one's heart, soul, and might, and to remember and teach these very important words to the children throughout the day.

We live on Avalon Drive, but I never much thought about the street name. Thanks for pointing out its origins and meaning...
Avalon is a legendary island in Arthurian mythology, often associated with magic, beauty, and a utopian paradise. It is most famously known as the place where King Arthur was taken to recover from his wounds after the Battle of Camlann, and where his sword, Excalibur, was forged. Avalon is depicted as a mystical, otherworldly realm, sometimes linked to the Celtic Otherworld, and is often shrouded in mist, accessible only by certain individuals or through magical means.
We live in a very nice neighborhood, indeed "magic, beauty and a utopian paradise... mystical, otherworldly realm."
