Some might think she would do it for love, not blackmail, because
the beloved desires it so much and for so long.  Would you deny 
your beloved the light of your immanent being?

Kate is human.  We can always ask, and she can go right on ignoring 
the request as she has for the last 18 years.  Selah.

Because I would be seeing and hearing Kate Bush, the person, the 
performer, the woman.  Not the celluloid *goddess*.

Some say one should not meet their heros because inevitably, 
one is disappointed to discover their humanness.  Yet, I think 
this is what growing up is all about:  to learn to celebrate and love 
that human face and see beyond to that which is divine in all 
humans.  The devil cannot bear to share with so frail a being that 
which he thought was his alone to share with God: divine light.  
Dark torment makes devils of humans and angels.  When we ask  
humans to be gods, we swell the ranks of hell by extinguishing their 
humanity.  What angels may ask of God, we may not know.

See the woman.  See how she shines.

"Little light, guide them to me.  My face is all lit up."
