When only a babe in the cradle, a child , was betrayed into the world of 'NOWHERE.' a land of mystery and confusion, by the Spirit of Jealousy. To make sure she would never escape, the spirit had stolen half of the child's life breath, and kept guard over it, day and night.
Years passed and at last the babe became a young woman
Always as she rested on her dream couch, the young woman dreamed of another world. The world she dreamed of was full of people and creativeness. She longed to be part of the people and their activities. One night as she dreamed, the Spirit of Song came to her and said 'You have shown me much love and devotion, and it has touched my heart deeply. Because of your long devotion, I heard your call, and have come to help you escape from your 'Nowhere' dream prison.'
The Spirit of Song went on to explain, how the at the end of the world of 'Nowhere' lay a tiny courtyard, there the Jealous Spirit, kept guard over a garland of flowers. 'At the heart of the bloom lies the other half of your life breath' said the Spirit of Song. 'The Jealous Spirit never sleeps. The only thing that can make him sleep is my Song. I will sing him into a deep sleep. To give you enough strength to make the journey, I will breathe half of my own life breath into you. You must make your way to the tiny court yard as silently as a shadow. If you do not return to me, I will have to take your place on the dream couch. This is how much your devotion has meant to me.'
And so the young woman, with half of the Song Spirit's breath, and the lovely sound of the Spirit's Song, began her journey. The journey was a success! Mystery and confusion, became clarity and precision. Crooked paths became straight, squiggles became curves. Once the young woman regained her breath, she regained her wits as well.
The Spirit of Song, made a journey, to the top of a great white mountain and sang a song of victory. The song went like this.
He! He
Ha! Ha
Ho Ho
Hi! Hi Ha!
Sometimes the spirit made the sounds long and other times short. If one had been below the mountain looking up at the Spirit of Song, they would have seen a spark of light, jumping and spinning each time a word was created.
The Spirit of Song decided to return to the 'Nowhere World' and free the next person taken prisoner. After many months of encouragement to the recent prisoner, about the need to take the journey to the court yard, and the freedom that awaited one when they returned, nothing changed. Only, the Spirit of Song began to wilt and loose the beautiful power of song.. As the song became weaker and its sound fainter, the Song Spirit understood, that there was nothing left to do. And so, sadly the Spirit of Song prepared to leave the World of 'Nowhere' and its dream couch and the dreamer. Just as the Song Spirit withdrew, there was a brush of breath, and it was the Spirit of Development..Ah, thought the Spirit of Song, so Dreamers are devoted to many different Spirits, and it seems only the right Spirit can help, perhaps if I'd not lingered here, this recent prisoner, would have been heard sooner
All sadness left the Song Spirit, and as it departed a new song came into being, it went like this,
Zah ha Hee dah, I hear your call
Zah ha Hee da, with faith for all
Spirit of love alone in the dark,
find your Spirit at the end of the endless path.
Zah Ha Hee Dah, we heed your call, one and all
