Story #13 “Emotions”

It doesn’t happen all year, or even at the same time every year. It’s based on the conditions. It’s not quite the stars that have to align, but aligning must take place. The days long, the temperature hot, the water available, the nutrients around, the wind shall be plenty, but not too plentiful. The stars don’t have to align, but all this must. Only the most observant eye can spot it, but even the most observant must be there at just the right moment. It won’t happen the same time every year, and it won’t happen every day. Being observant is key, but so is being patient. Man does not control it; it will perform in its own time. The animals don’t help it, in fact they might hinder it. The insects are not its keeper; it relies on the wind for that. It is the wind that helps the relationship, the meeting, the carrying on of tradition. They have been kept safe all this time, with everything that they need. The parental structure knowing it has no future without them. They are the future, they are the new beginning, without them the world ends right here. The parental structure must give their all, for if not their all, their effort is for not! It will be a sunny spring day when most everyone is prepared, a soft wind will come in, they will dance. Like the soft whisper of sound, they will dance with a soft whisper of movement. It is not just the wind that moves them out of the safe keeping, it is the wind that will guide them, and carry them to their meeting place. This is a mesmerizing experience, one that warms your heart and eases your soul. For in this moment you know that the stars have not aligned, but everything is aligned in its place.
