"Good morning world, " Peace calls out to the new day. Awakening in the dewy beach grass, she stretches her arms toward the sun rising in the east. She cannot believe she has slept as long as she has, but she feels revitalized.
A deer is grazing on long blades of grass as her fawn stands nearby with eyes gazing longingly in Peace's direction. Peace smiles affectionately to the young animal.
Leaving her mother's side, the fawn wanders over to Peace, who sits with her legs crossed. The young deer rubs her long neck along Peace's arm until her hand rests on top of the head.
"How are you, my little friend," she says as she strokes her lovingly. "A new day is dawning, enjoy every moment of the long life awaiting you."
The doe finishes her breakfast and gracefully approaches Peace. She rubs her neck along her child's back. "I was telling your sweet little girl to enjoy a long happy life," Peace tells her.
The mother's ears rise in surprise. "It has been long since one of your kind has spoken the language of all," she tells Peace. "How is it you have this knowledge?"
"My people have always been able to speak to all,"Peace replies. "We learned from Mother
Tortoise long ago."
"My herd learned from Mother Tortoise as well. We still have this knowledge and speak to all who walk on four legs. But you are the first with two legs I've met that understands the language of all."
Peace wonders how long she's been asleep. When she lay down, there were many people speaking the language Mother Tortoise teaches in this land.
"What do you mean you haven't spoken with my kind? My people have always talked with the deer. Even during the hunt we give thanks for the bounty offered us."
"That was long ago. Now people hunt us without ceremony and offer us no thanks when they kill one of the herd."
A tear rolls down Peace's cheek. Fawn sticks her tongue out, licking the tear. It is an act of forgiveness, granted by innocence. Peace gently caresses Fawn. She knows she has slumbered too long.
Rising to her feet, Peace knows it is time for her to call out to all.
"I remember meeting her grandfather. She is the child from beside the river." Mikel loves traveling along time's continuum. With grandfather's help, he has seen and been many things.
"The last thing I remember you saying was, "You are life, be aware of all life. Today we are deer, observers of the forest. Listen to whisperers.
"What is a whisperer Grandfather?"
"A whisperer is someone capable of listening through the noise. They are the ones that rise when leaders are necessary in the human world.
"Peace is an important part of the future. She will guide men and women to follow their hearts back to the nature of the world," Grandfather says.
"I enjoyed being a deer today Grandfather, but why couldn't we have approached Peace as we are?"
"We could have child, I wanted you to experience the peacefulness of being a deer. They are a powerful being with a great deal of magic. They will always be your guide to finding
whisperers."
