A Reading From The Book Of Positive Images


Somewhere in the deep Arcadia trenches there lived a maiden who had a special weight. One sunny morning she took a second to realize how precious the pound for pound gift from the Gods was before being shockingly interrupted by her evil antagonist Miss Saint Anita Gordon.

Excelerina,” the shriek could be heard throughout the garden, “I know you are a winner with that special weight, but tomorrow is a long time away and you must show it off to the powers that be.”

Putting her head back on the pillow Excelerina quickly thought through the situation that first was fun but now had an unpleasant tone, “they think I am a maiden claiming something but what made me a winner was an unsolved mystery which the God’s think they instigated.”

Off in a short distance there was a comical laugh that the young maiden with a special weight heard, “who are you?” Excelerina inquired pushing back the new day tears.

“I am Lovely Lola,” the stranger answered, “and you Excelerina are muy christosa in this place.”

“What does that mean?” Excelerina sat up in the bed made from apples that relied on the dew dispensed by models after they unleash their emotions.

“It means Excelerina, you are very funny,” Lovely Lola replied, “you have all the fruitful beauty that one would want, and you are still not happy. Why?”

Suddenly the earth started to shake, and Lovely Lola turned around to see Miss Saint Anita Gordon, “Excelerina, we must go and show the God’s your special weight.”

And it was at that moment Excelerina said “No,” then strategically pausing before explaining, “First I want to know why I have this special weight that makes me called upon by the Gods.”

As the reality set in Miss Saint Anita Gordon heeded the message and not having any idea the spiritual force made her disappear leaving lovely Lola waiting until everything was quiet to explain, “you do not have to show any God anything, remain confident inside along with an honest heart and then the right people will praise you.”

Smiling Excelerina came to terms with the special weight challenge and decided to put it to beneficial use allowing others to feed on its goodness.

This is a reading from the book of positive images.
