Mary |
What do you see |
|
|
Say! |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Scribe |
Mother you are holding the globe on your necklace |
|
|
Out for me to look at |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Mary |
Well then look at it |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Scribe |
Yes Mother |
|
|
|
|
|
I hold the globe in the palm of my hand |
|
|
And I look at it |
|
|
|
|
|
It is so small! |
|
|
Why I can rub it between my thumb and my forefinger! |
|
|
It is smooth and shiny |
|
|
|
|
|
And I look at it |
|
|
And I notice how much of the globe is water |
|
|
|
|
|
More Water than Earth |
|
|
Much more Water than Earth than I had realized |
|
|
|
|
|
And now I see that the oceans are agitated |
|
|
Their waves are high |
|
|
|
|
|
Water is moving! |
|
|
She is dancing with excitement! |
|
|
For Water will be the first to be set free |
|
|
|
|
|
And Water joyfully leaps about |
|
|
The middles of the ocean especially are cheerful |
|
|
And are allowed to abandon themselves to their joy and to their
dance |
|
|
|
|
|
And I see that this has a ripple effect |
|
|
As the movement within the center of the oceans |
|
|
Ripples outward and to a lesser degree reaches the ocean shores |
|
|
|
|
|
But it is not frightening |
|
|
No, not at all |
|
|
|
|
|
In fact, many are thrilled by the weather |
|
|
I see young men out with their surfboards |
|
|
Joyfully playing in these waves |
|
|
|
|
|
But now the waters from the very deep of the ocean are beginning to
join in |
|
|
They too participate in their newfound freedom of movement |
|
|
They too participate in their dance of liberty |
|
|
|
|
|
And as the waters of the ocean deep dance |
|
|
The ocean itself seems to rise |
|
|
|
|
|
And now it would seem that the ocean center |
|
|
The whole ocean center from top to bottom and from bottom to top |
|
|
Is dancing as one |
|
|
|
|
|
Its self-consciousness is evident |
|
|
As in unity, it performs its dance |
|
|
|
|
|
And again the ripple effect takes place |
|
|
But now the waves are much higher than before |
|
|
|
|
|
Water reaches the shore with much more exuberance |
|
|
With joyful exuberance she reaches and greets the land |
|
|
Almost as if calling the land to join with her in her playful dance |
|
|
|
|
|
And now it is too dangerous for surfing |
|
|
For the waves are much too high |
|
|
|
|
|
And all the houses and other structures on the shorelines |
|
|
Are swallowed up by the ocean’s embrace |
|
|
|
|
|
And while Earth does not respond to the ocean’s call to join in her
dance |
|
|
The air above the ocean does |
|
|
|
|
|
Air hears the ocean’s call |
|
|
And responds |
|
|
|
|
|
Air responds |
|
|
Air responds |
|
|
Air responds |
|
|
|
|
|
And begins to move |
|
|
Begins her own dance |
|
|
|
|
|
And Air’s dance is not quite as exuberant as Water’s |
|
|
For it is not yet Air’s time |
|
|
|
|
|
But Air is moving and joyfully so |
|
|
Air receives a taste of her upcoming freedom and is intoxicated by
it |
|
|
|
|
|
And yes responds to Water’s dance |
|
|
Like a slower partner, she responds |
|
|
|
|
|
And now Air too can be seen to have consciousness |
|
|
As she moves in concert |
|
|
Her choreography beautiful to behold |
|
|
|
|
|
And the Air that has taken movement is above the ocean |
|
|
And so does not affect man immediately |
|
|
For man lives on the Land |
|
|
|
|
|
But again a ripple affect takes place |
|
|
As the outward edges of the Ocean’s Air also begin to move |
|
|
|
|
|
And at first man finds this delightful |
|
|
Ah, the fresh salty breeze of the ocean! |
|
|
Yes, this is fresh, crisp, invigorating |
|
|
|
|
|
But slowly, less so than the Ocean |
|
|
Air also intensifies her dance |
|
|
And the ripple effect intensifies accordingly |
|
|
|
|
|
And man becomes a little nervous |
|
|
|
|
|
That’s enough now |
|
|
Calm down now |
|
|
|
|
|
But Air does not calm down |
|
|
She has tasted of freedom and there is no turning back |
|
|
No, there is no turning back |
|
|
|
|
|
And now Land receives the nod |
|
|
|
|
|
Yes now it is Land’s turn to receive his freedom |
|
|
And he too begins to move |
|
|
|
|
|
He too begins to dance |
|
|
And he revels in his freedom |
|
|
|
|
|
He who had been the most tightly bound |
|
|
Dances with the most fierceness |
|
|
Erupting abruptly and with violent force |
|
|
|
|
|
And all on the land that dances are tossed about this way and that |
|
|
|
|
|
No matter |
|
|
Land revels in his new-found freedom |
|
|
And more and more spots of land join in the dance |
|
|
|
|
|
And yes, they had all been tightly bound |
|
|
Held immobile for centuries |
|
|
And there is much pent-up energy |
|
|
|
|
|
And when this energy is released |
|
|
The display of it is awesome to behold! |
|
|
|
|
|
Who knew Earth had such power! |
|
|
Such magnificence! |
|
|
Such glory! |
|
|
|
|
|
And now the 3 elements are each dancing |
|
|
Water, Air, and Earth |
|
|
|
|
|
And they are each performing their own dance |
|
|
For their needs are different |
|
|
And they have much pent-up need yet to fulfill |
|
|
|
|
|
It will be a while longer before the elements dance as one |
|
|
|
|
|
That will come |
|
|
That will come |
|
|
|
|
|
And Fire is watching the action |
|
|
Fire who has been the most free of all the elements |
|
|
Watches in amusement and in delight for his brethren |
|
|
|
|
|
It is about time they partook of their freedom! |
|
|
|
|
|
And Fire can’t help himself |
|
|
And yes, here and there, Fire also joins in the celebration |
|
|
For he would celebrate with his siblings |
|
|
|
|
|
And Fire breaks out in spots all over the globe |
|
|
For seemingly no reason at all |
|
|
|
|
|
Fire breaks out here; fire breaks out there |
|
|
It breaks out in deserted areas; it breaks out in populated cities |
|
|
|
|
|
Fire is not concerned about what lies on Earth’s surface |
|
|
|
|
|
He is joining in the dance |
|
|
He is joining in the dance |
|
|
|
|
|
And now it seems as though the whole globe is dancing |
|
|
Each of the elements moving in joy and in freedom |
|
|
And yes, each to its own particular song |
|
|
|
|
|
And the elements are happy |
|
|
|
|
|
And the globe too is happy |
|
|
For she senses her elements’ joy |
|
|
And rejoices for them |
|
|
|
