The Gift Extended

Tashi

Opening very gingerly the gift extended to him that is tied with blue ribbons he is hard pressed to conceal his joy for such a timely present to be received. A gift that is timely indeed to be received by him who has conducted his affairs well and has not allowed anything that has no value added to roll him over. He has kept his mind together amid the irritating buzz of the blowfly and has not been discouraged because of his unproductive aim of the fly swatter, and because he has for the most part held his temper and has maintained the delicate handsomeness of his face during the times of trial and dissuasions a gift to add peace and calm to his life has been extended to him that has been passed down from beyond the stars and tied with blue ribbons that shows that an all-watching eye has found pleasure in him.

He opens his gift with the song of thanks and praise ruffling through his voice knowing that the blue ribbons are a statement that his gift is a product of dignity and royalty given as a gesture to ease his heart because when it could have been so easy to fall into the dust and whimper he instead raised his head even higher and measured up. Removing the blue ribbons he now carefully undo the wrapping paper by using soft finger motions that will not produce a tare as the entirety of his gift was passed down to him from the vast expanse of multiple seasons and regions without so much as a single bent so likewise he handles his gift very preciously. He is not at all confused about the nature of the source of his carefully wrapped present because timeless words were spoken that has an enduring echo that "It is not good for man to be alone."

The gift extended to him is the fulfillment of those timeless words that were spoken in ages before and those that set the command in place that will be honored forevermore. He has now reached the gift itself extended to him and his heart rolls like the beat of a drum with his testimony of pleasing as the leading cords. The gift master has bestowed to him a wonderful claim that comes from the stars in the magnitude of her own name. Dressed in the polished brass likeness of the original seed with eyes that flashes as if by dreams and open hands extended to take him in and even the counsel of the divine to blend in with is the reservoir that bestows the gift that has all meaning. Giving much praise and thanks for his gift extended he now has a helpmate to endure the storms and a wonderful confidence to hold in his arms.

There were all those times when it seemed that the limits of his patience had run out and to look is to see nothing whatsoever that he could hang a ray of hope onto yet in the pit of his unknowing there was always that knowing that is gendered by an unseen faith that if only he will continue striving and hold on tight to the dinging rope that all things will fall into place, may not, and almost exactly not as he hopes but in ways that he really needs the most. He realizes that he is but a grain of sand resting upon the vastness of the beach and with this understanding his place in the cosmos is complete, but oh how very nice it is that this gift to him has finally come and by all means he will accept it as his rights of love.
