006

Kia Orana - (Greetings) fellow Beings and Creatures of this Fair Galaxy.

This is a yarn of many fables and songs, about a journey across this Galaxy, far far away.

(It is dawn,1st to rise, ānau (family) still asleep)

006 "I see the Black Tower"

Morning sun just over the horizon, all its glory and its shine...

It is another great day, quietly and respectfully recite The Mantra, ready myself for the Dawn Sunrise practice. Birds sing their tune while little animals scurry about writing their song while accosting food for their families.

Practice I start, Woo Gi (Meditative Force Exercises), I begin.

Deeper in thought, the Force surrounds my essence and plays a different tune, I hum the same tune, intense foresight follows, the interweaving of the past and the possible perceived future.

The stars transform into a cobblestone path, I walk there and hear the crying song of yesterday. I see the Black Temple, hidden behind false clouds and the sadness sun. I watch with heartache, followers and daydreamers, listening to a sermon of hope and joy, hidden behind smiles of greed and pain.

I watch this Sith, work his plan and design, meticulously detailing his thoughts of conquest and suffering. He turns his ears ever so slightly, his eyes glance side to side, his head motionless but looking at his dream design, I stood still, my Mind is Quite and my Heart is Calm, the Sith did not see me, and continues with his merry song of playful death.

I explore his house of black, rooms full of unwanted missionaries contemplating the right choice and without invoking fear from their beloved Sith master. Whispers of discontent is rampant, but fear keeps these thoughts close, forever counting the days of living, but in a moment of stillness, be killed from a whim of treason or jealousy or leisure. These wannabe Siths live a blind Faith, for the rewards are unimaginable and failure is certain death or the true death.

I follow this sad song, from ground level to the upper levels to the dungeons below, of unloved monsters to hardware's of warcraft, weapons of hate and mass destruction. I peer out of an opening, a speck of sunlight, pierce this black cavern, the sun's ray called to me, breach these hateful stone walls, bring down this despair and heal this frightful place.

I walk through the absolute blackness, my heart glowed its light and path, I reached above ground, in this mirage, the grass and trees burnt to a crisp, death abounds, no life, only heartbreak and the lonesome song of emptiness.

I turn around to face this Black Temple, smiled my designs and counted the days, not far from now, return I will, to lay waste to this foul stench and I will help those daydreamers and unloved followers. It is not too late to make the right choice; it is not too late to come home. Nodded my head, hand on heart, Greyblade at my side, return I will.

Into the heavens I went, floated pass planets and stars, bearings and coordinates confirmed, walked with the Giants of the Past, converse their hopes and dreams, bids me farewell and an offerings of a long lost melody. Seismic tremble to me they said, keep this in your heart and when you confront the Blackness, as you will be alone, hum thy melody and become more powerful, unimaginable. I gracefully bowed my respects, Mantra was spoken, returned to the Unknown Regions, Gaia spoke to guide me home.

Awaken with a smile and a mission to prepare, and then my mokopuna's (grandchildren) came laughing, pushing and shoving, positioning the best view.

And they said "Finish the story?"

I said….

"Think not, for you have practice about the Force with me in a few minutes, then chores to be completed and this is before breakfast"

Howls and groans roar from their little faces, then sweet puppy eyes met mine, I had to summon all my strength of the Force to repel such onslaught, but I prevailed, the roaring howls and groans, quieten down to giggling whispers then silence.

I commanded….

"Practice"

My mokopuna's responded in unison….

"Yes" but with a slight tone of disobedience.

After shuffling around for space, they gave me a respectful bow.

I smiled and continued with….

"Woo Gi...begin"

To be continued...
