Once Upon a Time Far Away

Once upon a time, in a land far from far away, tiny people with big feet and small toes danced to a harmonic beat. They made drums out of beats and made beats out of drums. And with their small fingers, tiny strings rhythmically plucked. Women and men alike, found joy bearing children and through the process of age, inspiration became synchronicity. Attune to nature, this time, life cyclically spun like the spider’s web. Jingles were jams and jams became jingles. Song bound this community with such harmonious power. That of which could not only heal, but also make miracles . . . Doubt had lost its place. Fear was but a distant melody. Music fueled the sky with ultrasonic rays. Energy had been burning within every single being. Fire was not. Earth was so. Wind was a blessing. Reigning supreme was consciousness. Singularly found gallivanting within all who remained tiny. Collective bonds harnessed such power that no manmade mechanism could ever come near such power. These men and these women looked to the children for guidance. For were it not for their innocence and bliss, no life could sustain— And once upon a time, these glorious people had been long since forgotten. Left lost in a land that is far, far away… The end Friday, March 3, 2017
