"Very, very, nice, Child," said The Prophet.
"It is, isn't it, Prophet. I just wish I would be
there now. I'm very impatient."
"I know, Child. How well I know."
"At least, I know I'm moving in the right direction."
"Very true, but you know much more, Child."
"Do I?"
"What did you view in the sun, Child?"
"My dream."
"Have you ever viewed it so closely before?"
"No."
"So what do you think it means, Child?"
"You mean, I'm getting closer?"
"You're closer than you think. You're on the verge,"
and The Prophet chuckled at the face of The Child.
"Wow."
"What do you plan to do when you get there?"
"I'm going to sleep; then, I'll have a nice quiet
breakfast while I cry."
"Cry, Child, that's very strange."
"No, it's not Prophet. It's very me. I always sleep
and cry at successes."
"I see. Shall we return to the lily pad?" The
Prophet asked.
"How far do I have to get back?"
"Are you very tired?" asked The Prophet.
"I am, Prophet. Excursions on the water make me tired."
"Look, Child. Look whose coming."
"Oh, how nice. It's Mr. Whale. Thank you for coming
to get me, Mr. Whale" The Child said and climbed aboard it back and
grabbed hold of its dorsal fin.
"Prophet?"
"Yes, Child."
"I just love Mr. Whale." The Child said as the
whale began to pick up speed. The Prophet's laughter echoed over the ocean as
The Child held on to the dorsal fin, and the whale zoomed in the direction of
her lily pad.

Thank you for visiting my blog Pat. It is nice to meet new friends. I'm very curious about your very post today, how does it end?
ReplyDeleteHello,
DeleteThank you for visiting my blog also. That's is a good question. So far the story continues and will probably not end this year.
Shalom,
Pat
Yes, it is VERY nice to reach the conclusion of one's challenge! We are NEARLY there! I am so glad that you and Susan encouraged me to work at this challenge. It has been good for me. I feel like your little girl. Lovely story!
ReplyDeleteHi,

I like that on the verge, the whale returns and The Prophet's laughter echos over the ocean: what metaphor, what imagery, such compassion.
ReplyDeleteRe Grammy Staffy's comment, does the story ever end? Or is it eternal?
My Dear Samantha,
ReplyDeleteThe story will not end yet. I am not sure when it will. I like to think that it will be eternal.
Thank you my dear friend for coming by.
Shalom,
Patricia
