Rosendo Álvarez Gastón RIIP: Rose Crescendo

The Deaths in 2014 site lists under February 4:
Rosendo Álvarez Gastón, 87, Spanish Roman Catholic prelate, Bishop of Jaca (1984–1989) and Almeria (1989–2002)
His first name stood out, an addition to the recently occurring "Flora/Tree/Flower..." pattern-cluster... after all, a rose is a flower and both roses and lilies previously factored in.  The audd thing about Rosendo, is that it's also an addition to the "Cryptic Phrases in Names" pattern-cluster "rose end"... and/or "Rose Crescendo".   The etymology dictionary says crescendo originates from the word "crescent", note the etymology:
crescent (n.)... from Old French creissant "crescent of the moon" (12c., Modern French croissant), from Latin crescentum (nominative crescens), present participle of crescere "come forth, spring up, grow, thrive, swell, increase in numbers or strength," from PIE root *ker- "to grow" (cf. LatinCeres, goddess of agriculture, creare "to bring forth, create, produce;" Greek kouros "boy," kore "girl;" Armenian serem "bring forth," serim "be born"). 
Baby Rositha
Rositha Pedro
This definitely goes with the cryptic flow.  It's interesting, and no doubt it was planned that way, that the word "rose" is also a verb, ie: he "rose" from the dead.  

Since "Tree's" have been the subject of recent posts, including the previous one, I'm reminded of an incident involving a  young, very pregnant woman who climbed a tree to escape a flood, where she then proceeded to give birth to "Rositha": http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/662472.stm, note this excerpt:
When a South African military helicopter arrived on Wednesday morning to rescue the dozen or so people who had taken refuge in the tree they were told she was about to give birth. 
The child was born two minutes later, pilot Chris Berlyn said.

The combination of modern technology and a caring society at work... swords to ploughshares. 

Another thing that I'm reminded of is my second book in the Beginning Faerie series. Note at right a page from the book.  At the time of developing this little wood nymph, Fanny Oakleaf, I read about little Rositha in the news and so it was born: a tree named Rosetha.

There is no doubt in my mind that this real life incident and the story that I was writing at the time, were accidental.  You can call it "God/Goddess/Nature" at work, you can call it the inner twin world influence... or you can call it what I call it: BOTH!!
