T ON THIS DARK MOONLESS NIGHT IN AUTUMN. ONLY THE SWEET DENSELY EVOCATIVE SMELLS OF THE FOREST DREW HER INTO ITS DARKENED HALL OF TREES. SHE WAS UNSURE HOW SHE HAD GOT THERE… HAD IT BEEN A FEW MOMENTS AGO SHE WAS WANDERING THE LATE EVENING SUNNY PATH ON THE ROAD, ADMIRING THE TURNING COLOR OF THE TREES. THEIR FLAME RED LEAVES LIKE THE HAIR OF A WANTON WOMAN STANDING ON THE EDGE OF THE HILL AS SHE SET ABOUT HER JOURNEY. WHATEVER HAD STARTLED HER…ALBEIT A SMALL RABBIT WITH A SMILING GLARE, SHE HAD BEEN STOPPED IN HER TRACKS.
THIS WAS A JOURNEY SHE HAD STARTED EARLIER IN THE DAY. AS SHE SAT AT HER DESK TRYING TO WRITE THERE WAS A FEELING OF WANTING TO RUN AWAY FROM THE SCREEN IN FRONT OF HER. TO NOT PUT DOWN WHAT SHE FELT INSIDE, BECAUSE EXPERIENCE HAD TAUGHT HER ONCE THE WRITTEN WORD IS SHARED IT BECOMES THE WORD BY WHICH PEOPLE LIVE BY……AND ALL THIS STEMS FROM THE ANCIENT TOMES AND WRITINGS SHE HERSELF HAD OFTEN SEEN IN DREAMS. AND THERE WAS A RESPONSIBILITY TO THAT END. ALWAYS. THE PEN IS MIGHTIER THAN THE SWORD IS AS TRUE NOW AS EVER. SO SHE LEFT BEHIND HER SCREEN STARING BLANKLY OUT INTO THE COZINESS OF HER ROOM. THE FIRE LIT ON THIS SUNNY BUT FRESH DAY. THE SMELL OF BAKING WAFTED UP FROM THE APARTMENT BELOW AND THE SOUND OF WOMEN’S LAUGHTER FILLED THE AIR FROM THE STREET OUTSIDE AS THEY SHARED STORIES OF THEIR LIVES WITH CANDOR AND HUMOR. AND SHE STOOD AT THE WINDOW LOOKING DOWN AT A GROUP OF THREE WOMEN WITH THEIR PRAMS AND BAGS OF SHOPPING, AND WONDERED HOW MUCH OF THEIR LIVES THEY MUST SHARE WITH EACH OTHER. HOW WOMEN CAN BECOME SUCH FIRM FRIENDS AND CONFIDANTES WITH ONE ANOTHER AND FOR A MOMENT SHE FELT NOSTALGIC FOR FRIENDS SHE HAD KNOWN AND FOR THE WOMEN IN HER FAMILY NO LONGER HERE. THEY ARE THE TRUE STORY TELLERS SHE THOUGHT. THEY CARRY SO MUCH WISDOM WITH THEIR SHOPPING BAGS… WISTFULLY STARING INTO SPACE AS THEY MAKE THEIR WAY FROM HOME TO SCHOOLS AND SHOPS AND JOBS. YET DO THEY EVER SHARE THEM WITH ANYONE OTHER THAN FRIENDS WHO THEY KNOW WILL NOT JUDGE THEM? DO WE AS WOMEN SHARE OUR INNER WORLD WITH THOSE WE KNOW WILL NOT JUDGE US. THIS LED HER TO STAND FOR A LOT LONGER THAN SHE INTENDED WHILE THINKING, I MUST WRITE THAT DOWN AND WORK IT INTO SOMETHING I AM DOING! BUT OF COURSE IT WAS LOST AS SOON AS SHE THOUGHT OF SOMETHING MINOR THAT NEEDED LOOKING AFTER….
AND AS SHE TURNED FROM THE WINDOW TO LET THE LAUGHTER RECEDE INTO THE BACKGROUND SHE FELT A SURGE OF SOMETHING WITHIN HER. SHE COULD NOT DESCRIBE IT AS ANYTHING OTHER THAN A WAVE. IT WAS LIKE BEING IN THE OCEAN AND STANDING TO BE CARRIED ALONG BY THE SEA THAT WAS COMING CRASHING IN. FOR A MOMENT…OR AN ETERNITY… SHE STOOD MOTIONLESS AND ALL BACKGROUND NOISE HAD DISAPPEARED. THE COLOR OF THE ROOM SEEMED TO FADE AND THE ONLY LIGHT WAS FROM THE OPENED COMPUTER AND THE BLANK SCREEN STARING OUT LIKE A SPOTLIGHT! SHE TURNED AND ALMOST TRANCE LIKE, WALKED TO THE CHAIR AND SAT DOWN ON THE SOFA TO REST. ALL THOUGHTS HAD GONE FROM HER MIND. SHE DID NOT THINK “DO I NEED HELP…AM I OK…” FOR SOMEWHERE DEEP INSIDE SHE KNEW EVERYTHING WAS AS IT SHOULD BE AND HER HEAD RESTED BACK ON THE ARM OF THE SOFA COVERED WITH A RAINBOW OF FABRIC HER EYES RESTED….AND CLOSED….AND SHE SURRENDERED TO THE DEEP SLEEP THAT WAS COMING…..
IT WAS THEN SHE SAW THE RABBIT SCURRY BY. SHE WAS STANDING ON THE MOSSY GREEN FLOOR OF A FOREST HAVING WALKED ON A SUNNY PATH AND, ALMOST LIKE AN OBSERVER, SHE THOUGHT WHAT A LOVELY DREAM THIS IS! THE ODD CRUNCH OF LEAVES UNDER HER FEET WHERE THE LEAVES HAD DRIED WAS THE ONLY NOISE AND THE TREES GREW TALLER THE DEEPER SHE WENT INTO THIS CAVERNOUS CATHEDRAL LIKE PLACE. SHE FELT SHE WAS ENTERING A HOLY SPACE. SACRED GROUND. AND ALTHOUGH IF IN HER FULL CONSCIOUSNESS SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR THE NEAREST EXIT, HERE IN THE DEEPEST RECESSES OF HER MIND SHE KNEW THIS IS WHERE SHE HAD BEEN SEARCHING FOR. THIS WAS HOME. AND YET IT SEEMED SO FOOLISH AND OUTLANDISH. HER THOUGHTS WERE CRASHING AROUND LIKE WAVES INSIDE HER HEAD THE FURTHER SHE WALKED THROUGH THE MOSSY GREEN CARPET UNDER HER FEET. LOGIC TOLD HER SHE WAS HAVING A DREAM AND ENJOY IT! A BIT LIKE ALICE IN WONDERLAND OR RED RIDING HOOD! BUT THERE WAS A FAMILIARITY TO ALL OF THIS AND SOMEWHERE INSIDE, A REASSURANCE THAT SHE WAS MEANT TO BE THERE.
JUST AS SHE THOUGHT SHE WOULD TURN BACK….AND FIND THE PATH SHE HAD BEEN WALKING ON WITH THE SUN SET AND ROSY HUE TREES, SHE BECAME AWARE OF A SLOW METHODICAL RHYTHM..A DRUM THAT SOUNDED LIKE A BEAT SHE KNEW. HER HAIR MOVED IN THE MISTY BREEZE OF THIS LATE EVENING IN AUTUMN AND THE TREES RUSTLED AS SHE DREW CLOSER INTO THE FOREST, AS IF TO WELCOME HER. THERE WAS NO GOING BACK. SHE KNEW THAT NOW. THIS WAS THE PLACE SHE HAD BEEN SEARCHING FOR AND FOR SOME REASON SHE HAD BEEN BROUGHT HERE IN A DREAM ON THIS DAY. IN HER HEAD SHE HEARD A VOICE…LIKE HERS, BUT SHE KNEW IT WASN’T HER SAYING IT! HELLO. SO GLAD YOU HAVE COME HERE AGAIN.! AS SHE LOOKED BEHIND HER THERE WAS NO ONE BUT A SMALL DEEP LAUGH THAT SAID YOU ARE LOOKING IN THE WRONG PLACE. LOOK WHERE YOU WALK. GO FURTHER INTO THE CLEARING IN THE FOREST AND I WILL BE THERE. WELCOME HOME.
AS THE PATH TURNED INTO THE CLEARING THE CRACKLE OF A FIRE COULD BE HEARD IN THE AIR. IT MADE THE TREES BECOME GOLDEN IN COLOR AND EVERYTHING IN ITS CIRCLE LOOKED AS IF IT HAD BEEN PAINTED IN A RICH AMBER GLOW OF THE FLAME THAT WAS BURNING. A SMALL STUMP OF A TREE HAD BEEN PLACED BESIDE THE FIRE AND THIS IS WHERE SHE SAT. THE DRUMMING HAD CONTINUED AS SHE HAD MADE HER WAY THERE AND NOW SEEMED ALMOST TO HAVE BECOME PART OF HER OWN HEARTBEAT SHE COULD HEAR IN HER EARS. SHE LOOKED AT THE TREES AROUND HER AND UP TOWARDS WHERE THEY REACHED AND THEY STOOD LIKE TALL ANCESTORS OR BEINGS WHO HAD WAITED HERE FOR HER TO COME.
INSTINCTIVELY SHE KNEW TO PLACE HER HANDS ON HER LAP ONE OVER THE OTHER. TO BRING HER SHOULDERS DOWN AND RELAX THE TENSION IN HER NECK. TO ALLOW HER SPINE BE STRAIGHT YET RESTED AS SHE SAT IN THIS GOLDEN HALL OF TREES. HER FIRST THOUGHT…..I MUST NOT LET A THOUGHT ENTER MY MIND…. OH DEAR HOW DO I DO THAT …I AM THINKING!!!! IT WAS THEN SHE HEARD THE LAUGH AGAIN. AND WITH HER HEAD DOWN STARING AT HER HANDS SHE COULD HEAR THE LAUGHTER FROM BEYOND THE OTHER SIDE OF THE FLAMES OF THE FIRE IN FRONT OF HER. DARE SHE LOOK WAS HER FIRST THOUGHT. “OF COURSE YOU CAN” CAME THE REPLY. “HOW DO YOU KNOW I THOUGHT THAT” ANOTHER LAUGH ….AND HER CURIOSITY MADE HER RAISE HER LIGHT HAIR THAT WAS GOLDEN WITH THE SURROUNDING GLOW.
AND AS SHE DID…SHE FELT A SMILE…..IT BEGAN IN THE DEPTHS OF HER STOMACH AND HER SOUL. IT REACHED HER HEART AND CAME UP THROUGH HER THROAT AS LAUGHTER AND, LIKE A ROSE SHE OPENED UP TO SEND OUT THAT LAUGHTER INTO THE NIGHT. AS SHE RAISED HER HEAD BACKWARDS TO LET THE LAUGHTER PEEL THROUGH THE NIGHT SKY SHE CAUGHT A GLIMPSE OF HIM. AT FIRST, HE LOOKED AS IF HE WAS A TALL MIGHTY OAK WITH LOTS OF GREEN MOSS AND LEAVES…. AND SHE PEERED THROUGH THE FLAMES AND THE VISION STARTED TO TAKE ON FORM. HIS GREEN CLOAK TOUCHING THE FLOOR. TRIMMED IN GOLD SYMBOLS AND A HAWK ON HIS SHOULDER! WHY THE HAWK SHE WONDERED…AND THE VOICE REPLIED …WHY NOT!! WELL….IT SEEMED A LITTLE ODD TO HAVE A HAWK SHE THOUGHT WHY NOT AN OWL. THE VOICE REPLIED “THAT IS SO PREDICTABLE…”!!!! WHY NOT A HAWK, I CAN CHANGE HIM IF YOU WISH…..” OH NO..IT IS OK SHE THOUGHT … AND HE SMILED. A SMILE NOT JUST FROM HIS UPTURNED MOUTH BUT FROM HIS HEART AND HIS SOUL. HIS EYES TWINKLED LIKE THE RABBIT SHE HAD ENCOUNTERED EARLIER. AND HE SAID “MAY I TALK WITH YOU”. I THOUGHT YOU WERE SHE SAID! WITH MORE LAUGHTER HE REPLIED…THAT IS CALLED TELEPATHY….WHEN MY THOUGHTS ARE ENERGETICALLY PATTERNED TO HARMONIZE WITH YOURS AND WE CONVERSE THROUGH THE CONSCIOUSNESS…..”OOOER SHE THOUGHT!!
HE SAT..OR SO SHE THOUGHT ..BUT SEEMED TO HOVER ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE FIRE AND SHE LOOKED OVER AT HIM. HE WAS LIKE A GOLDEN STATUE IN GREEN VELVET! HER GAZE COULD NOT BE DRAWN AWAY FROM HIS! IT WAS LIKE BEING HYPNOTIZED SHE THOUGHT. “NO YOU ARE NOT BEING HYPNOTIZED…HE ANSWERED! I REALLY MUST WATCH MY THOUGHTS ….SHE THOUGHT. “YES” HE ANSWERED. THEY BOTH LAUGHED AND AS THEY DID SHE LOOKED AT HIM AND HIS FACE CHANGED INTO THOUSANDS OF FACES SHE KNEW AND YET DID NOT KNOW HOW. HE LOOKED INTENTLY AT HER WITH A KINDLY FACE BUT SHE KNEW HE WAS LOOKING AT THE OTHER VISIONS THAT CROSSED OVER HER OWN FACE!
ASK ME ANY QUESTION YOU LIKE BUT MAKE IT A GOOD ONE! OH EM UM LET ME SEE…SHE SAID. THERE WAS A QUIZZICAL LOOK TO HIS BROW AS SHE DESPERATELY TRIED TO THINK OF AN INTELLIGENT QUESTION FOR THIS MAN WHO SHE KNEW YET DID NOT KNOW. AND LIKE A CHILD WHO JUST SPITS OUT THE FIRST QUESTION WITH NO THOUGHT SHE BLURTED OUT….”ARE YOU A WIZARD THEN” “OR MAYBE A WARLOCK” ….. HIS EYES OPENED AND HE INHALED A DEEP BREATH AND BLEW INTO THE FLAMES!!! THE SPARKS FLEW AT HER AS A THOUSAND DRAGONFLIES AND SHE INSTINCTIVELY WENT TO COVER HER HEAD WITH HER HANDS…. BUT SOMETHING MADE HER RELAX AND SHE WAS SUSPENDED IN THE MOMENT. AND ALL AROUND HER HEAD IN FRONT OF HER FACE THE MOST BEAUTIFUL EYES OF THE DRAGONFLIES STARED INTO HERS. THE COLORS WERE LIKE RAINBOWS AND YET MORE!! SHE HAD NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT!! SHE COULD ONLY SAY “OH WOW”… AND AS SHE SILENTLY STARED, FOR WHAT SEEMED LIKE AGES, THEY HOVERED AROUND HER AND FILLED THE SPACE AROUND WHERE SHE SAT WITH THEIR COLOURS AND THE NIGHT SKY TOOK ON THE IMAGE OF GREENS AND BLUES AND VIOLETS AND PINKS…..A NEVER ENDING STREAM OF RICH COLOURS LIT BY THE GOLDEN FLAME OF THE FIRE LIGHT.
FOR A SECOND SHE CLOSED HER EYES. AND WHEN SHE OPENED THEM THEY HAD GONE, BUT HER UPTURNED HAND HELD ONE THAT REMAINED. SHE LOOKED AT THE BEAUTIFUL LITTLE BEING. AND HIS/HER EYES STARED BACK AT HER. IT SEEMED AS IF THEY WERE MADE OF EYES ONLY!! SHE SMILED AND SHE COULD FEEL IT SMILE AT HER! MERLIN SHE SAID!!! OH WOW I AM SORRY I DON’T KNOW WHY I CALLED YOU MERLIN! HE SMILED AND SAID BECAUSE YOU REMEMBERED. HIS EYES DANCED WITH THE FLAMES OF THE FIRE AND TWINKLED LIKE A MILLION STARS. SHE HELD HER DRAGONFLY AS GENTLY AS SHE COULD AND STOOD UP. HE STOOD ON THE GROUND AND MET HER GAZE. “WHY DID YOU BRING ME HERE SHE ASKED” WHY DID YOU COME” HE REPLIED. WELL I HAD NO CHOICE YOU SEE. I WAS AT HOME WORKING AND NOT REALLY WORKING AND THINKING AND ALL OF A SUDDEN…. SHE RATTLED ON…. AND HE PUT UP HIS HAND AND SAID STOP. YOU HAVE BEEN ASKING TO FIND YOU. HAVE YOU NOT!! WELL…YES… WAS HER REPLY. THE ME I AM NOW I SUPPOSE SHE SAID. “WHAT DO YOU MEAN” HE SAID. WELL, I AM NOT THE SAME AS I ONCE WAS, MERLIN. I DON’T SEARCH CONSTANTLY FOR THE ANSWERS OR EVEN HAVE THE NEED TO LOOK FOR THEM AND IT HAS WORRIED ME THAT I DON’T CARE ANY MORE!! HE SMILED AND SAID …”GOOD” !! REALLY! IS THAT A GOOD THING NOT TO CARE TO BE SEARCHING FOR THE PATH… THE GRAIL…THE JOURNEY OR WHATEVER IT IS WE HAVE COME TO EARTH FOR. IT IS ALL I HAVE WRITTEN ABOUT FOR YEARS, SHE SAID. HE SIGHED… “I KNOW… I HAVE WATCHED YOU…” “HOW TIRED YOU MUST BE.. HE LAUGHED!!! DEAREST…LISTEN…. AND LET OTHERS KNOW… “WHEN YOU STOP FIGHTING YOURSELF YOU WILL STOP FIGHTING OTHERS. WHEN THE WORLD KNOWS THAT PAIN IS SELF INFLICTED AND THE OINTMENT IS THE RELIEF OF LETTING GO…HOW MUCH PEACE WILL THAT BRING TO PEOPLES HEARTS? SHE THOUGHT ABOUT THIS AND SAID OH MY OF COURSE. BUT THERE IS MORE SAID MERLIN… SO MUCH MORE. THIS UNIVERSE IS A CASCADING FIRE LIGHT OF THE MIGHTY FLAME OF ALL FLAMES AND YOU CAN TRAVEL THROUGH THE COSMOS WITHOUT LEAVING THE WARMTH OF YOUR FIRE SIDE.” BUT I WANT TO TRAVEL I SAID! HE LAUGHED. “WELL THEN LETS TRAVEL” ……IN THE MINUTES, HOURS, THAT FOLLOWED WE WALKED THROUGH THE FOREST AND EACH OPEN SPACE OR CLEARING WE CAME TO BECAME ANOTHER WORLD. AN ENCHANTED PLACE OR A BUSY MARKET PLACE! AND HE LAUGHED AT MY AMAZEMENT AND MY ENDLESS QUESTIONS UNTIL WE RETURNED TO THE ORIGINAL FIRE AND SAT TOGETHER ONCE AGAIN.
HE LOOKED AT ME SERIOUSLY. “SO MANY PEOPLE ASK TO REMEMBER. AND WHY DO YOU THINK THEY DO SO?” I SAID BECAUSE WE HAVE A QUEST WE KNOW WE MUST REMEMBER FROM SOMEWHERE DEEP INSIDE” ABSOLUTELY NOT WAS HIS REPLY!! REALLY .. ARE YOU SERIOUS..AFTER ALL THIS TIME.. ARE YOU TELLING ME THERE IS NO QUEST MERLIN!! HE LAUGHED AND LAUGHED AND ROLLED AROUND THE FOREST FLOOR FLATTENING THE LEAVES AND MAKING SPARKS FLY!!! I LOOKED OVER AND THOUGHT HE WAS CRAZY!!! AND AS SUDDENLY AS HE HAD STARTED ..HE STOPPED!! HE WALKED AROUND THE FIRE AND CAME TO STAND BESIDE ME AND PRESSED HIS THUMB INTO THE CENTER OF MY HAND QUITE FIRMLY. OW! I SAID. HE SMILED. THAT HURT I SAID. EXACTLY. WELL WHAT WAS THE LESSON THERE I SAID!! “THAT WE ARE HERE TO FEEL. AND FEELINGS BECOME OVERWHELMING WHEN WE DO NOT ALLOW OUR EMOTIONS TO BE VOICED THROUGH OUR HEARTS. AND OUR MINDS CAN BE LIKE A SMALL CHILD WHO STAMPS THEIR FEET FOR ATTENTION UNTIL WE TAME THEM WITH A WARM HUG FROM AN OPEN HEART THAT DOES NOT NEED ATTENTION ONLY AFFECTION.” OH I SEE… I SAID. BUT WHAT ABOUT THE MAGIC MERLIN …. I KNOW …..YOU KNOW….
AAH THE MAGIC DEAREST. WHAT IS THE MAGIC YOU MIGHT ASK? WHERE DOES IT COME FROM? HOW DO I USE IT WITH INTEGRITY AND WHY DO SOME PEOPLE HAVE IT IN ABUNDANCE AND OTHERS SQUEEZE IT DRY AS IF TRYING TO GET WATER FROM AN OILY RAG! WELL …YES SHE SAID.. HE STOOD RIGHT BESIDE HER. SLIGHTLY TALLER AND A MORE MATURE THAN SHE HAD IMAGINED. HIS RIGHT HAND RESTED ON HER SHOULDER…THE MAGIC IS YOU. ME? EVERYONE. BUT WHY THEN DO SO MANY PEOPLE FEEL SO HELPLESS AND ALONE SHE ASKED? BECAUSE….MERLIN SAID SLOWLY… THEY TAKE A PATH AWAY FROM THEMSELVES. IN THE NEED TO FIND ANYTHING THEY FIRST LOOK FOR APPROVAL ABOVE ANYTHING. AND WHEN THEY FORGET THEY HAVE BEEN CREATED BY THE CREATOR OF ALL CREATORS TO OVERCOME ANYTHING……THEY LOSE THE MAGIC OF THE UNIVERSE IN THEIR VEINS. FOR EACH TIME OF DOUBT OR ANGER IT IS LIKE AN EGG TIMER FILLED WITH SAND THAT IS RUNNING SO QUICKLY AND EMPTYING OF ITS CONTENTS. ONLY TO BE TURNED AND TURNED AGAIN AND AGAIN IN THE ATTEMPT TO TRY AND HOLD ON TO THE SECURITY OF WHERE THEY ARE IN THE WORLD. WHEN THEY MUST ALLOW THE TIMER TO RUN ITS COURSE AND THE FLOW OF THE UNIVERSE WILL WORK ITS MIRACULOUS TIMING FOR THEM. IT IS NOT AN EASY THING TO DO AND THAT IS WHY SO MANY FAIL… IN THEIR OWN EYES. THEY NEVER GET WHERE THEY NEED TO BE OR ACHIEVE WHAT THEY FEEL THEY CAN. BECAUSE THEY HAVE SET THEIR DESTINY AT A TIMER AND THEY HAVE GIVEN IT OVER TO OTHERS TO HOLD IT FOR THEM WHEN THEIR IS A POWER GREATER THAN THEM WHO IS THE CONDUCTOR OF THIS ORCHESTRA OF THE UNIVERSE, WHO WILL LET OUR SOUL SING WHEN WE PUT DOWN THE NEED FOR APPROVAL OF OTHERS AND TAKE BACK YOUR HEART TO THE FLAME OF ALL FLAMES … CREATION ITSELF… AND SAY “I AM HERE.. AND I AM SURRENDERING TO WHAT I REALLY KNOW….WITHOUT HAVING TO KNOW IN THAT MOMENT…. TIME IS A LITTLE WORD AND I HAVE OFTEN SEEN IT USED AND MISUSED. THE SANDS OF TIME RETURN TO THE SEA AND THE OCEAN IS STILL AND CARRIES THE MEMORIES OF ALL THAT HAS HAPPENED. YET THE TIDES WILL CRASH WITH WAVES AGAINST THE ROCKS STANDING ON THE SHORE TO LET YOU KNOW IT EXISTS. UNDERNEATH THE WATER THE OCEAN IS AT PEACE…. AND THE MIRACLE IS THAT YOU ARE THE SAME. AND, YES, ALL IT TAKES IS TO KNOW IT WITHOUT KNOWING…..FOR IT IS WRITTEN IN THE STARS AND IN YOUR HEART. IT FLOWS IN THE BLOOD IN YOUR VEINS AND THE WATERS OF THE WORLD HEAR YOUR HEARTBEAT….. AND YOU ASK ME IS THERE MAGIC!
SHE LOOKED AT HIM… AND IN THAT MOMENT SHE KNEW EVERYTHING SHE EVER WANTED TO KNOW… AND YET HAD NO QUESTIONS OR ANSWERS TO ANYTHING. SHE WAS FILLED WITH A SENSE OF PEACE SHE HAD NEVER KNOWN AND STOOD TALL BY THE FLAMES THAT FILLED THE NIGHT AIR. HE SAID…. LET OTHERS KNOW… A STORY IS ONLY A STORY UNTIL IT BECOMES A TALE.. AND A TALE IS ONLY A TALE UNTIL IT BECOMES REALITY…… ALL IS A CONUNDRUM AND YET LIVES ARE FILLED WITH NONSENSE THAT CAUSES PAIN.
THEY SAID THEIR GOODBYES… AS THEY ALWAYS HAD…UNTIL NEXT TIME…
SHE WALKED BACK THROUGH THE FOREST AND THE DARKNESS LIT BY THE FLAMES OF THE GOLDEN FIRE THAT REACHED TO THE EDGE OF THE PATH SHE WOULD WALK. SHE LOOKED BACK ONE LAST TIME….. UNTIL NEXT TIME… AND IN HER HEAD SHE HEARD… YOU KNOW WHO I AM AND I KNOW WHO YOU ARE….THAT IS ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW. NO ONE IS ALONE. THERE IS ALWAYS A JOURNEY TO A SECRET/SACRED PLACE THAT BRINGS YOU HOME.
THE EVENING HAD BECOME COLDER AND THE FIRE IN THE GRATE WAS ALMOST OUT AS SHE STIRRED ON THE EDGE OF THE COUCH. HER HEAD HURT… A DULL ACHE AS IF SHE HAD BEEN THINKING TOO MUCH!! SHE SAT UP AND LOOKED AT THE SCREEN OF THE COMPUTER. IT HAD GONE OFF. THE NOISE FROM OUTSIDE WAS JUST THE TRAFFIC COMMUTERS GOING HOME… AND SHE STOOD STARING OUT OF THE WINDOW AND THOUGHT WHAT AN AMAZING DREAM.. I HOPE I REMEMBER…. AND A VOICE IN HER HEAD SAID.. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO REMEMBER YOU ALREADY KNOW.
