White Silver Lining: Toumai

Given the "White Theme" pattern-cluster in my previous post, I decided to investigate the Deaths in 2017 site for an recent notable deaths that fit.  Note the following death listed under September 22:

• Elizete da Silva, 46, Brazilian heptathlete, South American champion (2001, 2005, 2006), traffic collision

She was much too young to die.  There's no doubt in my mind that the inner twin world influenced her "timely" death.   Her surname is similar enough to "silver", a word sometimes used to describe the "white" hair of the older generation... like mine... nearly all white, butt I'm only 60... and it has been that way since shortly after my car crash of December 13, 2000-- the pivotal event that led up to my awareness of the inner twin world for the first time.  And it's not far off the track when you consider that I'm a pewter smith... and so related to silver, butt I use the medium often referred to as "white metal".  Using the word "silver" at the online etymology dictionary site's search box, provides the following :

silver lining (n.) a "bright side" which proverbially accompanies even the darkest trouble; by 1843, apparently from oft-quoted lines from Milton's "Comus," where the silver lining is the light of the moon shining from behind the cloud:  Was I deceived? or did a sable cloud turn forth her silver lining on the night? I did not err, there does a sable cloud, turn out her silver lining on the night and casts a gleam over this tufted grove.  To which Thomas Warton added the commentary: "When all succour ſeems to be lost, Heaven unexpectedly presents the ſilver lining oſ a ſable cloud to the virtuous." 

It's interesting that the word "moon" should crop up, given the title of my previous post, White Feather, White Stairway, Mom's White Moon Stone.  In the above, are two names that now serve as leads. The name Thomas Warton speaks volumes, especially given that the etymology of Thomas is "twin"-- a particular inner twin world's trade mark signature.  And breaks down furnther into a cryptic "twin war ton (big)".  Note from their wiki pages:

• John Milton (9 December 1608 – 8 November 1674) 
• Thomas Warton (9 January 1728 – 21 May 1790) 

Milton's birthday falls on the day of the year where 22 days remain... sequences of 2's such as this is also another inner twin world signature.  AND, their birthdays generate a "__, December 9, January 9, __/ 9th Day, Month Sequence" pattern-cluster.  As well, Milton's date of birth and death generates a "November 8, December 9, __/ Day, Month Sequence" pattern-cluster.   So bridging the January 10 gap, I do as I normally would ... using the formula, and I come to one person who fitz... butt then I couldn't help butt see the surname "Gray" re the next in line... and then to look down the list a short way and see the surname "White":

• 2000 – Sam Jaffe, American screenwriter and producer (b. 1901)
• 2004 – Spalding Gray, American actor and screenwriter (b. 1941)
• 2005 – Wasyly, Ukrainian-Canadian bishop (b. 1909)
• 2005 – Jack Horner, American journalist (b. 1912)
• 2005 – Princess Joséphine Charlotte of Belgium (b. 1927)
• 2007 – Carlo Ponti, Italian film producer (b. 1912)
• 2007 – Bradford Washburn, American explorer, photographer, and cartographer (b. 1910)
• 2008 – Christopher Bowman, American figure skater and actor (b. 1967)
• 2008 – Maila Nurmi, Finnish-American actress, producer, and screenwriter (b. 1922)
• 2010 – Patcha Ramachandra Rao, Indian metallurgist, educator and administrator (b. 1942)
• 2011 – Margaret Whiting, American singer (b. 1924)

So Margaret Whiting wins hands down:

• Margaret Eleanor Whiting (July 22, 1924 – January 10, 2011) 

Her birthday is an addition to a cluster found in my earlier post today, expanding it into a:

"February 22(x2), March 22, April 22, __, __, July 22, August 22, September 22(x2)/ 22nd Day, Month Sequence" pattern-cluster. 

Some of the other surnames in the January 10 death list also stands out, note this cluster:

• 2013 – George Gruntz, Swiss pianist and composer (b. 1932)
• 2013 – Claude Nobs, Swiss businessman, founded the Montreux Jazz Festival (b. 1936)
• 2014 – Petr Hlaváček, Czech shoemaker and academic (b. 1950)
• 2014 – Zbigniew Messner, Polish economist and politician, 9th Prime Minister of the Republic of Poland (b. 1929)
• 2014 – Larry Speakes, American journalist, 16th White House Press Secretary (b. 1939)

And do note the "White" in the last one re "White House"!!  Note from his wiki page:

• Larry Melvin Speakes (September 13, 1939 – January 10, 2014)

As for the person above Speakes re Messner, he too was born on the 13th, note from his wiki page:

• Zbigniew Stefan Messner[13 March 1929 – 10 January 2014) 

And while at his wiki page a couple things catch my eye:

Zbigniew Messner

Do note the "Lioness" what appears to be a white metal statue..., another addition to the recent "Leo/Cat Theme" pattern-cluster.   And then note this excerpt from his wiki page:

In 1972, he became Professor of Karol Adamiecki University of Economics in Katowice. 

Note the Katowice... a cryptic "Kat to (aka two/Tou) twice".  
And then move up the list and we have the surname Gruntz, not only is it an addition to the recent "Names/Words Ending in 'z'" pattern-cluster, butt we have an addition to the "Remove a Letter Makes a Word" pattern-cluster... as in remove the z makes "grunt"!!  Note from his wiki page:

• George Gruntz (24 June 1932 – 10 January 2013)

His birthday is one off from the death of Michael Jackson, which features in the very first post of this blog, hence generating a "June__, 24, 25/ Date Sequence" pattern-cluster .

And now note from Da Silva's wiki page:

• Elizete Gomes da Silva (2 May 1971 – 22 September 2017)

Perhaps you're familiar with the fact that my inner twins name is Tou (aka 2) and myname is May and that combined we then get a cryptic  "Toumai" and "2 May".  And perhaps you're aware of my earlier Toumai Blog ... that's still open for viewing... and that I named it after these facts coupled with another that was revealed to me shortly after my car crash of 2000, that Toumai is an African word meaning "Hope For Life".

See how the piece fit together in one big cryptic puzzle.
