Words from Pep
A dusting of snow…
It is December in the north. A fresh
elegant blanket of white sleep wraps the earth. Through woodland stillness the
crack of frost can be heard as branches contract in the cold. Here and there
rising upward from within the earth elfin like vapors of warm air ascend an
invisible stairway to heaven. Out of the south come low angle streams of light
throwing soft shadows over this world. Every cautious step I take, every
movement bruises the blissful silence. . . . . . The quiet of this dreamland is
subtly disturbed by an almost imperceptible frequency. I slowly turn my head
downward to the left and see a congregation of Deer Mice giving heed to one
charismatic colleague in a state of prophesy. Several members of the audience
turn in my direction and an interspecies religious experience commences. Tiny
black eyes stared into mine and they began speaking in tongues as if I were
descending on a white horse accompanied by legions of angels, sword in hand. .
. . . . Next came the explosion as their rapturous gaze gave way to what they
perceived as reality. Several leaped into the air landing on the others. Which
way to run, clearly the question at hand! Up and over a nearby stump, down
behind a log, under a rock, off on a long distance race to home went the
others! . . . . . I had meant them no harm. My only emotion was one of wonder
and delight. I got down on my hands and knees in the dusting of snow to look
over their tracks so fragile and delicate, so slight and tenuous, so filled
with fear because of misunderstanding. . . . . . Into my spirit came the voice
of Creator - “Are you not similar? Of mice and men there is little difference.
You run and hide from that which you do not or cannot understand. You
appropriate violence for self-protection when all the while there is nothing to
fear.”. . . . . I rose up from the ground with a peace in my chest and a smile
on my face. From nearby came a familiar frequency and I slowly continued my
journey.
