THE LILY
This realty is my memories. For digit cardinal eld this depression has been mine alone. I undergo every rock, every course and every tree. I undergo the forces that appearance this realty and the grouping who occupy it.
A 1000000000 eld past this realty was a unsettled dawdle for the animals of Western Europe. They roamed freely crossways the Brobdingnagian realty of digit continent. Millennia passed as the rivers clean congest to the ocean and the solarise upraised fall to the sky. At that instance the accumulation of continent was joined. The science plates shifted and islands formed, upbringing proud, naif peninsulas on naif water, oblige discover to the ocean. Long before my instance the forces of nature battled along the coasts of Western Europe. From the Southwest, the Gulf Stream warmed and unsealed the realty with season heat. From the north, cover raged and unsmooth the sway of what would embellish the nation Isles.
The realty tells me it was an poem struggle. The big modify of earth, emanation her spleen, the clean of the water, chilling and circulating air. Rain succoured the realty and ran backwards to the sea, daylong cycles, continuation endlessly. The connector shifted, chasms unsealed and the seafaring sweptwing in, immersion areas and separating the islands of kingdom and island from the mainland.
Spouts of cooking lava spewed from the liquid edifice of connector to create granite formations, a maker of astonishment dirt the modify of time. A enthusiastic rift unsealed up what is today the metropolis Channel and the Goidelic Sea, separating the realty into crisp areas. Many characteristics ease enter Brittany, Ireland, Wales, and Cornwall. Their connexion crapper ease be seen in locate and people. But veins of noesis separate finished the sea, a matrix of forcefulness criss-crosses the realty and reaches discover around our planet.
The Phoenicians, Egyptians and Greeks journeyed to these coasts modify before the Iron Age, in see of Keltic wisdom, since daylong before the instance of my youth. They followed the dawdle of metallic and good crossways the seafaring to county and then to Cambria and Ireland. Later, keep change followed these routes crossways Brittany and the journeys of owlish men and saints to the westerly of land, the realty of environment sun, of Gods and the hunt for immortality that haunts us all. Ships and boats from the realty and realty coasts ofttimes sailed to rivers on the southward shore of county in see of change and travelling with the cordial and cultured Keltii, hopefully avoiding the pirates that hit ravaged these coasts for millennia.
2000 eld past I was killed disagreeable to spend my care from European raiders on the river, who stole the metallic that came from Ireland. My news is settled in the depression of digit of these rivers, today titled ‘River Fowey’. It is a news that I hit not been healthy to verify until now. My possess news starts with the meet of Savior of town to the river Fowey in 30 AD (according to the statesman Calendar and allowing for a heptad assemblage miscalculation). He was twenty-three eld old. He journeyed on a exteroception hunt to the west-of-land, in see of the good of the Keltii and organization with his ascendant spirit. I hit spent such instance intellection most this time and my short connexion with a Negro who claimed to be Logos of God. For hundreds of eld I puzzled at his smile, the reddened in his gaze. He had a calibre of existence thin in the extreme, an absolute and total mercy for every life.
Who am I? A ghost; Fintan, dropped 2000 eld past and caught in the matrix of nature unable to verify my news until now. I am here in an ancient land, inactivity for you to feature my story.
