The Pepperman and a Universal Energy
I OPENED A DOOR
TO A UNIVERSAL ENERGY.
IT SEEMED TO BE
EVERYWHERE.
AND...IN MOST EVERYTHING.
I HAVE TO SAY
IT WAS A LITTLE CHAOTIC.
TRAVELING FASTER
THAN THE SPEED OF LIGHT.
OR SHOULD I SAY LIGHTNING.
BOUNCING, JUMPING, LEAPING
PASSING, OVER, UNDER
AND THROUGH.
IT WAS BEING
BUT NOT BEING CONDUCTED.
LIKE A SYMPHONY
BUT OUT OF CONTROL.
IT WAS AS IF...
IT WERE SEARCHING FOR
CONNECTIVITY.
IN THE PROCESS
COLLIDING AND TEMPORARILY
FORMING LAYERS, SHEETS,
AND SPHERES.
LIKE A FINALLY OF FIREWORKS,
AT BLINDING SPEED.
WHEN IT STRUCK THE SURFACE
IT CREATED YELLOW REDS
AND BLUES.
WHICH SEEMED TO COLLIDE
WITH ONE ANOTHER
CREATING THOUSANDS
IF NOT MILLIONS OF SHADES OF
ORANGE, PURPLE AND GREENS.
I STOOD IN AWE
OF MY SURROUNDING.
OBVIOUSLY FASCINATED
BY THE BOMBARDMENT
OF MICRO
BOLTS OF LIGHTNING,
I TOO WAS RECEIVING.
I COULD FEEL IT TRAVEL
IN AND OUT AND THROUGH ME.
I LOOKED AT MY HANDS.
I COULD SEE THE ESCAPE
OF ENERGY.
I POINTED MY FINGER
AND WITNESSED A
CONCENTRATION OF ENERGY.
IN THE FORM OF A BOLT
OF LIGHTNING.
I THOUGHT ABOUT IT
FOR A MOMENT.
I HAD TO ASK MYSELF
THAT ALL IMPORTANT
QUESTION.
WHAT'S REALLY GOING ON?
LIFE IS GREAT
FANTASTIC
INCREDIBLE
AND AT TIMES...
UNBELIEVABLE.
I LOOKED AT BOTH MY HANDS
PALMS UP AND BROUGHT
THEM TOGETHER AND CREATED
A SPHERE.
I SLOWLY SEPARATED THEM.
CREATING A LARGER SPHERE.
MY ARMS WERE EXTENDED
OUT TO MY SIDES
AND MY PALMS FACING UPWARD.
I WAS NOW INSIDE THE SPHERE.
I FELT SO ENLIGHTENED.
SO....RELAXED AND AMAZED.
I SLOWLY BROUGHT MY HANDS
OUT FRONT OF ME
TOWARDS ONE ANOTHER
AND CONNECTED MY FINGERTIPS
AND THUMBS TOGETHER.
NO LONGER WAS THE ENERGY
OUT OF CONTROL.
WAS I THE CONDUCTOR?
I AM THE CONDUCTOR.
I WAS IN CONTROL OF THE ENERGY.
THERE IT WAS, IN FRONT OF ME.
I HAD MY HANDS AROUND IT.
NO LONGER CHAOTIC.
A UNIVERSE OF ENERGY,
IN THE PALM OF MY HAND.
HARMONY OUT OF CHAOS.
TRANQUILITY OUT OF NOISE.
IF GOLD AND SILVER
ARE THE BEST CONDUCTORS
FOR THE UNIVERSAL ENERGY
OF LIGHTNING.
WAS I GOLD OR SILVER?
OR SILVER....
ENTERING....
THE GOLDEN AGE?
