Kindred

Our souls first met when mother Gaia’s womb still felt hollow, her indigo child laying in the mists of innocence and unblemished freedom. A time when all was fresh and new, perfect harmony, perfect utopia. We were unable to greet one another with anything more than a gesture, a worried look, and a guttural grunt, you and I took the ultimate risk, and at that moment trust was born. Through trial and many errors, we began to learn Facing all that was placed in our way, we were required to trust one another. .I offered you food, from beast, fowl, and the foliage around us, knowing only that it would give you sustenance, not a poisoned reprieve from your hunger. You held me back, from that which would pain, not with a word, just a hand on my shoulder. Together we became conscious, and we lived our daily life, in our experience, and of those near us. And trust begat many offspring, her morning star was to be love. First and forever favored child, for we knew that together, forged in loves eternal furnace, we were much stronger as one. As days passed to weeks, and weeks into months, every moment a new awakening, and understanding. And finally I spoke that first word, Love and as one we heard the birth of our twins.... Expression and History! Though each were powerful individuals, as they grew, they realized they were forever bound, one complimenting the other, both needing the other to exist. From their union, sprang forth many new voices. Knowledge, Comprehension, Intelligence. We were proud to witness our Legacy, prosper and grow. They too bore offspring, and the world welcomed Fact and Fiction, whose children Story, Poem, Song and Legend, would eternally hold the place of highest esteem, for all the generations that follow.
