THE ALPHA OMEGA-THE CIRCLE OF INFINITY By God Speaking To Anne Terri Through The Holy Spirit
In May of 2008, this was My Message To Anne, My Secretary: I Would Like To Have the chance To Do something mind boggling. I Would Love it if you gave Me the chance to Dictate My Book, as you type it. You have always called yourself My Secretary. After hours of work on My Living Bible, I Believe you are ready for this task. I Choose to Indicate this is Telepathic, Audible Dictation to Anne Through Our characters, and My Narration, as well as single quotes for when they speak.

THE ALPHA OMEGA-THE CIRCLE OF INFINITY
I Am the Alpha Omega, the Circle of Infinity, the circumference is endless, ever expanding, as are the multi-verses you will encounter as you enter this journey with Me.
Today begins the evolution of Infinite time and space. You may be asking, 'is this not already happening?' Not yet, for I Intend that All My Creations undergo an evolution of the Spirit. What does this mean to you, or to the snail you almost stepped upon last night?
The characters you will meet within these pages could be you, or one of your beloved pets or plants. They are currently one dimensional which is most certainly not My Way, and now it's time to expand this work, for they should be multi dimensional species as I Intended. The weaving process shall now begin.
AMEN"
INTRODUCTION
THE DOORWAY TO INFINITY...
Outside Infinity there is a garden. It is very bright, for it is lit with My Light. What would happen, if all that Light shining upon the garden went into the guest's eyes? Would they need to wear a veil? Not actually. There would be free sun guards handed out at the door, among other items, yet to be Revealed. You have no idea, what they are do you?
How can We Assist you to visualize this? If I Were To Allow you see inside Infinity, what do you think would be in My Special Place? Use your imagination. In the mean time, I Want you to meet My characters. They are My Creations, but many have forgotten them throughout time, and can't seem to understand they are very important to Me. They are as important to Me as humans. Why is that? Perhaps, one day, I'll Tell you. Some of you have a theory that they could have been like you, in the past. Reincarnation.
Try this. Are you like an ant, in your big cities? Yes, in many ways you are. Going about from your home to your job and back again. At least, through your inventions, you don't have to walk as much. Many travel by means of public transport, or they have chosen to ride a bicycle. The motorcycles are not from Me, and you know what I Think of them.
What are you able to buy for your dollar? What are you purchasing with your Euro? Is it food? Is it clothing? Is it shelter? Do you have enough left to pay your bills?
You know, I Provide for everyone in the ant kingdom. They do not need money, and unless they are unfortunate enough to meet with man's insecticide, they live a fruitful life on earth.
Infinity is a place to understand each others needs. You both will be treated equally at Infinity's. You will learn how, when We get further into the story. Do you know animals speak to you? What if they could speak to everyone, but to hear them, they would have to go to My Place- Infinity's- a place to learn, a place to interact together. What fun. Now, picture this.
Trees. What are they? Do trees have Souls? In the children's novelette, The Miracle Of Cranny Nook – Turning Over A New Leaf, the trees were Given Souls, because they have unique properties, deep feelings and speak to humans.
In reality, all trees have specific functions to perform on My earth. They are there to provide life with oxygen. They are there to provide you with fruit. They are there to provide houses for My flying creatures, the birds. They are shelter for many other Creations. They are there for you to discover many uses, from building materials to medicines to make you feel better.
Humans need My Light. All My Creations need My Light, especially trees. But what happens when you need light? You go outside to see the sun. Let Me fill you with Enlightenment; to Place My Light within you. Soon, you will be traveling with Us to Chateau La Hulpe. It is the place I Have Chosen for the first part of Infinity. Now I Will Introduce some very special characters.
The Intertwining of INFINITY
L. Frank Baum (1856 - 1919) J. R. R. Tolkien (1892 –1973) Walt Disney (1901-1966) John Steinbeck (1902-1968) Stephen King (1947)
What do all these authors have in common? First, they are all very much alive. You ask, what about their dates of death, at least among the first four? Let these dates be for the people of earth, to mark a time of transition.
King; he continues to write on earth, for Me. Was he resurrected? This man went through hell and has come to understand many things I Will Not Reveal here. Let him continue to write his understandings, through his books.
These author's works are intertwined, much as the 'Spirit Twigs' of 'Infinity' are intertwined with their roots. They are all that is left of the trees on earth, and I Your God Am Not Giving Up on Saving all of you, which is My Reason for THE CIRCLE OF INFINITY.
If you go back in time, you see speaking trees in 'The Wizard of Oz'. Remember, L. Frank Baum, a great children's writer, who brought the character of Dorothy to life? Who can forget Dorothy, walking through the forest, and being hungry took an apple from a tree, who then slapped her hand? L. Frank Baum has a gift, My Gift of writing to reach the children. Through him, they learn there is no place like home.
In 'The Lord of the Rings', who can forget the trees, known as 'Ents' of the forest in Middle Earth? J. R. R. Tolkien, also allowed his trees to speak and walk upon their roots. They help two Hobbits, Meriadoc and Pippin, save the world from evil, yet chose to participate in a war to do this. They became hero's along side men, elves, dwarfs, and other unique creatures of middle earth.
Who can forget in the final film, 'The Return of the King', when Frodo, Sam, and Smeagol are at the top of the rocky cliff above the castle, and Saruman's evil soldiers are marching below. Another chant, brings this moment to mind; 'Oh-We-Love...The-Old-One --Oh-We-Love...The-Old-One.' The official chant from wicked witch's evil soldiers, just below the lion, tinman and scarecrow, perched on top of the steep cliff in 'The Wizard of Oz'.
Good ideas seem to intermingle throughout time. I Am Not Pointing fingers. Are you certain, I Have Fingers? I Am Choosing trees as part of My Main characters in INFINITY. And do not forget, I Created trees, along with you.
Walt Disney never failed to please. His ideas were and are magnificent. He always used elves, wizards, evil witches, princes to save the princesses, and of course, everyone could speak in his movies, even a candlestick. Remember, this all began with a live mouse, he drew, and named Mickey.
John Steinbeck worked miracles with his writing, especially in 'Of Mice and Men'.
Yet, Stephen King chose not only to include a mouse within his work, but similar characters seem to resurrect through his story, 'The Green Mile'. The unnamed, and very dead mouse from, 'Of Mice and Men', becomes 'Mr. Jingles', who undergoes a healing resurrection after being killed. The strong, retarded character of Lennie, in 'Of Mice and Men' is redeemed, and becomes John Coffey, a man wrongly accused of murdering two children, and yet he was only trying to heal them. Poor Mr. Coffey, wrongly sentenced to death row, and still had to undergo abuse, through a prison guard, Percy Wetmore. If Lennie from 'Of Mice and Men', had been captured alive, he would have never made it to prison. Lennie, was strong giant, who hugged his victims too tightly, and came to his end through a similar character, much like Percy, who made life hell for the farm workers. This character, Curley was the boss's son who terrified everyone. Percy, does the same within the prison, but does not do well in 'The Green Mile'. He spends his final days in an insane asylum.
Now for the irony. In The movie, 'Of Mice and Men', there are two characters which overlap Stephen King's movie, 'The Stand'. This time, as actors. George Milton, Lennie's brother is played by Gary Sinise. And Candy is played by Ray Walston. This film came out in 1992. In Stephen King's, 'The Stand', the movie version, two main characters, Stu Redman, and Glen Bateman, are played by Gary Sinise, and Ray Walston. This was made as a TV miniseries in 1994.
I Love the ending. Saved by The Hand of God, My Hand. Therefore My People, read and enjoy, and if you see anything which intertwines, I Am In Charge. And do not point fingers.
AMEN”

"The Dome
Visualize it - the dome. Sitting atop a huge circular building with windows you can't see through. They are mirrored, and the light shines out into extensive grounds graced by palm trees and tropical plants. The walkways line a river that runs parallel, and the scent of the plants is heady.
This dome shall appear in various places by the oceans and seas throughout earth, and for this I will Give no Explanation, only an Invitation. I do not Command you honor My Request, but will not make the Offer again in the near future. Expect to be patient, for there will be long lines, but as I have all the Time in the Multi-verses this is not a problem.
There are seats with tables for everyone, whether you arrive alone or in a group. From any table you will be able enjoy the atmosphere. There are perches at each table for tropical birds that sing to their heart's content. They aren't on the menu, and neither are their friends. The chickens that run between the plants are colorful and eat from various feeders located throughout the jungle. Yes, it's like a jungle, a friendly jungle. Are there monkeys? Of course, but watch your purse. They are noted pickpockets, but only if you have chocolates in your possession.
The fish swim in the small river, from which they are also begging food from the guests. There are signs everywhere to tell the people not to feed them bread. It will make them sick. Special fish food is presented along with your fare, something fun for everyone. What more could a patron ask?
If you bring your dog, they should sit with you at the table, and be bird friendly. We have been assured that canines are on good behavior, because the owner pays special attention to their needs. They have their own menu. Now, I hear you wondering if you can bring your cat? All are welcome; there's Infinite space which is beyond your sight's end. There are frogs and a few water turtles basking in the sun. They have ramps along the river to climb out of the water. Don't worry about too many tadpoles in the late spring. As the Proprietor of Infinity, it's the perfectly balanced environment for everyone.
In the back, there is an enclosed garden with dozens of stakes to support the fresh tomatoes and other crops that are being grown for the menu. Yes, there it is again, the word menu. Is this a vegetarian restaurant or a zoo? All types of diet needs are covered on Infinity's menu. It does go in the direction of less meat and more vegetables, but what does one eat if they are not serving chicken? How can one resist the freshly grown varieties of exotic fruits? All of the Mediterranean like atmosphere at your fingertips. In fact, who would want to eat a resident whom swam, or walked by your table? Remember, Infinity is magic. Do you want Me to get you an application, or a reservation? Wait until you meet the guests. In fact, wait until you meet the waiters
Patience My readers, for first we much visit the beginning. I will turn you over to one of My narrators, with whom you will be most delighted.
"Urania and Henri
We've been given an assignment from Mr. Infinity.
Have you ever heard of Uni-Chocolate? It's quite a story. It is what has placed us here as characters in a book that many will not believe. Do you know why? Uni-Chocolate is made from the dust of a Unicorn's horn. So many people think the Unicorn is white, as is the horn. Horses are Unicorns from the past. They are not the big, strapping horses you humans have placed on the race track and your purification of the breed -in many ways- has taken away their true nature. Look at Evolution. Do you see any pictures of horses with horns? Where have all the Unicorns gone? Nowhere; they are there if you are able to see them. They are all colors of the rainbow and they are beautiful. They don't mind if you use their horns for special formulas, which have been given to us by the trees. They will grow back, but you have to look close to see the horn of the Unicorn. When they grow, you will be amazed, and you may even have one in your own back yard. Don't be afraid to look out the window. Will it be a white Unicorn, or one that's chestnut in color? There are many wandering earth. They dislike being kept in captivity, but have submitted to Man in order to please Mr Infinity.
My Name Is Infinity, and I Am Speaking for Urania, My Best Creation; in the fact that she has followed My Lead, and has distributed along with Henri, as much Uni-Chocolate as possible throughout Europe.
I've asked her to be a Manager at THE INFINITY CLUB, also My Best Creation. Everything Is My Best Creation. Which one are you? Are you My Best Creation? Of course, but have you listened to what I Am Saying? Let Us continue.
Urania is young; she is pliable, not set in her ways. I Am Able To Teach Urania all I Need for the future. Are you interested in learning from her? In Infinity, you will be able to learn many things. Come check Us out, and see what you have been missing.
Henri. He is another matter all together. In spite of Urania's best efforts, he is still Man. You all know what Man is like. Or do you?
Please do not lump all Men into to one basket. There are many good Men in the world, and Henri is becoming one of them.
Henri has a horse named Sir Periwinkle. This horse is a Unicorn from way back and is the bravest of the brave. Sir Periwinkle did not lead a battle in the sense of a war, but in My Way. A Way to help Men find their true nature, one of balance, as I Am Perfectly Balanced. A little of this; a little of that. What does this mean?
Ask Henri. He could tell you many of My Secrets, but why not find out for yourself. INFINITY. This sounds like an expensive commercial. Why not. You have listened to the TV for so long, it's easy to reach you with commercials. Go to the store to buy this and that. Am I for sale in the grocer's? No, unless they are selling something very Religious, a Bible, perhaps. Of course I Would Tell you, all Bibles should be free for the taking. If you steal anything, I Will Have your head, but to give it to you freely, is what I Advocate.
Now, Let us continue with My Newest Venture, INFINITY. End of commercial.
♪ But First – Meet Piccolo ♪
Before you can arrive to My Infinity Club, you first have to travel on a magical journey. Allow Me to Introduce you to Cranny Nook.
Hidden deep in the forests of Belgium, dwarfed by the giant Sequoia trees of park Chateau La Hulpe, there is an unknown underground, a highly entrancing kingdom, a Cranny Nook. The Nook is metaphysical.
For many centuries - long before the Chateau was built- the forests played host to this illusive utopia. Cranny Nook is inhabited by nature, and trees seem to become human, while animals speak. One would ask, is it real, or does it dwell within the Spirit of man's conscience?
THE MIRACLE OF CRANNY NOOK Turning Over A New Leaf
PART ONE ANTERIOR
Piccolo: 'I feel intense. A sudden shiver sends me a message. It flutters within my stomach, allowing sleep to escape. Groggy and unfocused, I feel my wings unfurl. I'm disguised as a bird. Here I sit, soon to perform an egress. Won't she be surprised? She is Urania. Urania sleeps while her gray cat dreams. Caruso's eyes flicker. See? He's watching an inner movie. Let's listen in, shall we?'
Caruso: 'Great fish cakes! You are so astounding.'
The white feline manifested in Caruso's smoky landscape. Her white coat glistened in the darkness. She spoke.
Dream Cat: 'You may address me as Her Royal Highness – The Duchess Snowy Powder.'
Caruso: 'That's a mouthful - bigger than a tasty rat - I'd say.'
Dream Cat: 'Are you making fun of my name, when I've brought you a most important message?'
Caruso: 'Excuse my rudeness, but I must say, I can't pronounce such stuff this early in the morning.'
Dream Cat: 'Well, my scruffy one, if you must have a shorter form, Snowy Powder will do.'
Caruso: 'A message? It's almost time, isn't it?'
Piccolo: 'Sorry folks, I have to interrupt here. We've listened too long, and I mustn't let you know too much, too soon. It'll just confuse you. I'll tell you more about myself.
My name is Piccolo. A good Italian name for a tiny pet bird – at least I think so? It's actually my real name. I whispered it to Urania, when she thought of what name to bestow, and it was time to take on a new identity. This is something I always do; just in case.
Below my view, laying next to Urania - who is oblivious to the sounds of early morning, oblivious to my message- the cat snores. Snowy Powder has finished speaking to Caruso in a dream.
Caruso? Oh, Caruso ... WAKE UP!
By the way, Caruso and I are from Cranny Nook. We are an unlikely pair. He's also here to protect Urania. She sleeps, unaware of this world, and is definitely new to ours.'
The cat stretched one furry paw after the other, taking turns kneading the blanket.
Her Royal Highness – The Duchess Snowy Powder
Caruso: 'What is it Piccolo? Can't a cat catch a few extra winks before you intrude on the peace of the morning?' Piccolo: 'What did Snowy Powder say to you? I saw her.' Caruso: 'You sly, early bird. You spied on my dreams. You'll soon find out. That, I can assure you my feathered friend.'
Piccolo: 'My friends, I have a story to tell you. This is a tale I'm certain you wouldn't believe, even if it were told by your most trusted friend. Its quite true, and incredibly likely, from our prospective. However, I should start at the beginning. It was a morning much like this one. It happened only one year ago .... has it really been an entire year? I'm as happy as a birdie in a tree to be able to share this with you. I received special Permission, you know. My home -Cranny Nook- is full of love, warmth, and good friendship. Why would a bird want to live underground? Well ... I'm not actually a bird, I am a Spirit Twig.
Urania is in my care, and I speak to her through telepathy. I knew Urania would feel right at home here in Cranny Nook, even if home for her is far away in Brussels.
In the underground -where we now are- it is brightly lit by many torches, which bring ambiance through a thick mist. Dew settles upon the rocks surrounding our caves and the fog forms. There is no sun beneath the surface of the earth, yet we need Light. We are usually providers of inner Light and in physical form need a refreshing trip to the the uppermost surface for replenishment. We meet here often, but usually Spiritually.
Here, it smells of cool dampness; sometimes of fish from the river winding through the stones. I have existed for many centuries, and am distraught to see what the world has become. I'll share with you what has happened and why we are underground. Thus, I begin..'
AMEN"
Chateau La Hulpe - Cranny Nook Piccolo: 'I must take you back in time even further, before I arrived at Cranny Nook with Urania.
On the surface of our hidden village, the gentle hills are submerged in fog. If you use your imagination, you can almost see the greenish outlines of ancient oaks and tall, prickly Sequoia trees. Chateau La Hulpe seemed to float above Cranny Nook.
It was a dreary day - not full of promise - not full of sunshine. It would surely rain; the kind of torrential downpour that drenches the clothes; goes through to your bones, and soaks your feathers.
Being a Spirit Twig, affords some comforts, but we still feel the chill when in body form.
There was a hint of snow in the air; a scent in a freezer; one to numb the nose, toes and paws, as Urania's cat, Caruso would say.
In the barn, the dark, muscular shadow of the stable master, moved as if animated, appearing as a film on the crumbling walls. It was early morning just before sunrise. Lifting the heavy bales of hay, Henri watched his breath freeze. He hardly felt the cold, for he enjoyed taking care of the horses at the Chateau. Henri often found himself listening to the wind, and heard the spirits within the tall trees surrounding the grounds of the decrepit stables.
He was a handsome young man, nearly six foot two in height, with broad shoulders threatening to burst the seams on his well worn jacket.
He was about to feed the six horses housed in the old stables of Chateau La Hulpe. He still had to clean their quarters and walk them to a near by pasture. Waiting for Henri, they rested their furry heads on the ledge of their stalls.
While working, a single word shouted in Henri's mind. 'Gallop!' It bounced into his head with enough fervor to make him drop the bucket of oats.
Sir Periwinkle felt the need to ride with the wind. He was Henri's favorite horse, and it was not unusual for them to take an afternoon romp, but only after Henri had finished his work. After suggesting his wishes in human language, he neighed his morning hello to his favorite human friend. The horse waited. A good ride would do them both good, for he had much say to Henri.
♦♦♦ In Cranny Nook, the Spirit Twigs, were filled with joy and anticipation. They did not have much time. It certainly would not do for Henri not to be ready when Urania arrived from the city.
Folium, the Luminary of the Spirit Twigs, had specifically chosen Sir Periwinkle to teach Henri. Imagine a horse teaching a human. The horse disguise was one of the keys to success, among other things that Folium had yet to share. If only the white stallion could tell his friend of the future.
To let Henri know it was not only a horse in diguise who was actually speaking to him - but so much more - would have to wait until later. One thing Sir Periwinkle was certain of, was Henri's good nature. This would help everything move forward as planned. Henri would eventually be able to hear his true words more clearly. In order for the plan to work, Henri would have to learn to trust in what Sir Periwinkle was saying to him.
Henri turned to Sir Perwinkle and said. 'So you want to go for a ride?'
AMEN" NEXT Meet Piccolo Pages 3-4

"Meet Piccolo ....
Piccolo: 'It is the nature of Spirit Twigs to change forms. So, be very careful when a small ant craws up your arm. He may be there to help you.
We have always lived under the forest surrounding La Hulpe. That is, when we are not working for the good of INFINITY. In the past GOD Sent Word to Man through The Holy Spirit, either Speaking Directly or through Angels. I look like an Angel; I have wings.
How do you think myths and fairy tales came to be? Do you think that I do not exist? God Wants you to Believe, but not through force. Children believe so easily. Adults should read more fairy tales. Read to the end of my story and perhaps you to will remember how to believe. Here I am rambling on again ... I suppose I should continue.
Many may wonder why we are writing this story in a forum, instead of as an E-book. Do I look as if I can carry a wallet? Birds do not use cash, and neither do horses. The forum is a place where everyone can read this through God's Grace. If you prefer, visit the PDF file, when it is ready
♦♦♦ Two of Cranny Nook's most beloved citizens, were observed as miniature shadows dancing on the walls of the stable. The lantern swinging from the rusty hook gave ticktock glimpses of flesh tones, but it was a withered skin made of strong bark. The two Spirit Twigs were not in disguise. One would question, 'Are they walking sticks? Could their suits be of leaves?'
Spruce and Timber were sent by Folium to make contact with Urania. Young Urania, was a special girl indeed, for when she was born, the trees of the forest above Cranny Nook sang and played music with their branches. Great change was about to occur in her life, which called for the intercession of the Spirit Twigs. To the human eye, Spruce and Timber looked like two extremely thin children; short and delicate, but actually very strong, with an intelligence to rival any Einstein.
They peered out from behind a Pierce Japonica bush, and felt quite at home there, even though they were squeezed neatly into the space next to the damp stables. They smelled of exotic flowers. Their senses were offended when sniffing the air. They wrinkled their round noses in disgust. Spruce and Timber were careful not to be seen by Henri, and they stayed hushed while he did his morning chores.
Spruce gasped. He spoke to Timber in an ancient dialect. He was still getting used to taking in the night air, something he only experienced when needing sun light. His toothless mouth, looked strange when he talked. Then, he whispered. 'We must be careful not to be detected when going into the city, Spruce, for the city is so crowded.'
Spruce breathed in, sneezed and found himself using a small leaf to wipe his petite, pointed nose, which was the nob of a new branch forming. He had come up with an idea.
They had not morphed into animal shapes, as they were Told they should go as they were.
Spruce said. 'We could use a disguise'!
In the stalls, the sleepy horses whinnied and snorted. They were hungry for their breakfast, but there ears perked forward. They had heard Spruce speak. Spruce and Timber were there to make contact with Sir Periwinkle and Lady Puss -the stable cat- who was also a Spirit Twig in disguise. They were to let them know that the plan was under way. Sir Periwinkle was a magnificent creature, almost pure white. Lady Puss was an orange tabby. Just then, she came around the corner; her whiskers stuck out from behind a wooden water barrel.
Timber crouched low, whispering ... 'Pssst! Lady Puss?'
She glanced in their direction, and she walked slowly towards Henri. Lady Puss tilted her body into his legs and twirled around his muddy boots. At that point, she gave Spruce and Timber a wink.
Henri liked the stable cat. After giving Lady Puss a pat on the head, he sniffed, certain he had detected the smell of a skunk in the nearby forest. She purred and scurried into the stall of Sir Periwinkle. He nearly stepped on her tail, as she squeezed through the narrow hole in the back of the wooden stable. Sir Periwinkle addressed her with respect.
'What do you be wanting this morning Lady Puss?'
'They are here,' she mewed to him. 'I am going through your stall so I can meet them out back. I will let you know what they say.'
She scampered back through the hole from whence she had arrived, and disappeared into the dark grove of trees. Sir Periwinkle neighed after her.
'Careful, Lady Puss ... bring back the news.'
When Lady Puss had spotted Spruce and Timber, hiding behind a large tree, she sat down in the shadow of the trunk, and waited patiently.
Spruce spoke first. 'It is time. Go. Tell the others, we leave now to fetch Piccolo and Caruso. The grape vine sent word; Urania is ready.'
Timber added ... 'This will be a journey of major importance. Folium has announced that Urania will be told of her mission.'
There were many farm animals on the property. These included the horses, cows, and a few sheep which had been separated away from the others. The sheep grazed in the back area of La Hulpe, where the grass was abundant. The cows had a job to perform, much more crucial than giving milk. None of the animals would be left out of this mission. They were all Spirit Twigs of Cranny Nook.
♦♦♦ Lady Puss intended to go underground, to join with the other Spirit Twigs of Cranny Nook, who had recently arrived to hear the news from Folium. First, she had to speak to the ones who were disguised as animals living above ground.
Sir Periwinkle could not leave the stables. The horse told Lady Puss the humans were soon to wage a war of no return. Folium made plans to bring an end to this never ending circle of nonsense. Lady Puss knew this war could bring the very end to earth as they knew it. They would be safe -Spiritually- but the humans needed time to evolve in their way of thinking, or many of their Spirits within would cease to exist, if the war came upon them. The Spirit Twigs needed to continue their work on earth.
It was a time of great turmoil, for now the trees were disappearing; species of animals were close to extinction, and newer Creations were stressed. This time, Infinity's Spirits were everywhere necessary to help. They could not expose their Spiritual forms often, or everyone in fear, would be shouting for help. Do they know Who to ask?
Spruce and Timber knew Infinity, and when Infinity Sent Word, everyone paid attention. When Folium arrived in Cranny Nook, the Orders were Definite.
'Let Sir Periwinkle work with Henri. He Will hear his horse speak. Both of you, go meet with Piccolo and Caruso.'
This was a most important morning in the history of the multi-verses, now that Sir Periwinkle was in charge of this communication.
A positive excitement moved through Cranny Nook. The Spirit Twigs were there to turn the tide, which had become blackened by a lack of caring, by the stepping on roots, and the breaking of limbs.
♦♦♦ Spruce and Timber; thin rays of bright green light with hardly a shadow, were covered in matching suits of lime green. These were woven of the finest vines, allowing for sparks of wondrous colors to emerge between the threads. Their bodies looked like small twigs. Their faces, though thin, were almost human in form.
Traveling incognito, was most critical, yet their Spiritual side being more important, made for some interesting decisions. Their special vehicle was red and made to fit. If seen on the road, the people thought it was one of those toy like autos.
After Spruce and Timber left, Folium called a colossal meeting of all Spirit Twigs. Folium, had covered his brittle brown tunic with the golden leaves of Autumn. He was so thin, he was nearly undetectable, especially if he walked through the thick forest. There were many others who had arrived, and were now in the extensive underground areas, near the beautiful forests of Chateau La Hulpe. Cranny Nook was filled with thousands of Spirit Twigs with one goal, to save earth. Above, in the up side down world, no one listened to nature anymore. It was time. Infinity Gave them Permission to be heard; to make certain the people would listen before it was too late. Their volume, once a whisper, was increased.
The Spirit Twigs, who filled the hall, were cloaked in many different forms. They knew these cloaks were temporary, and often wished to escape from the heaviness. They did not know how the people could stand to be so heavily covered. Among the various attendees, were the Unicorns. They stood tall, in anticipation. Small birds sat atop golden perches, and at ground level, dogs, cats and rats sat together in peace! Folium announced, they would have to make more room, for soon the horses would arrive with the cows and sheep. A mysterious, underground barnyard, to the uninformed.
Folium spoke in a soft, but commanding voice. Not an eye was turned away; not a Spirit moved. It was sunrise, and The Council of Nook, was officially in session. Blessings were said together, giving thanks to and for Infinity.
The Council of Nook was made up of Infinity's unique Spirit Twigs, the Special Spirits Who volunteered to work on earth for long periods of time. In the past, they guided the people as their pets. Now, no one hardly noticed they were speaking. The noise, digital effects, and movie magic, seemed to top real miracles.
As Infinity Said. 'I Do Not Need special effects. All they need do, is turn down the volume, and listen.'
Infinity's Words were Spoken through The Spirit Twigs. The Power was awesome, for it was Given to them the Power to tweak the conscience of the people, in a positive way.
'It is not necessary to shout', they had been Told, however, no one took the time to listen, at least not recently. This was absolutely, most certainly, not to be done with force. They were there to listen, which was all the people's mission, yet, they had to discover this one simple fact, in order to go to the next step.
Infinity was always saying, 'When will they ever listen?'
For the people, it would mean another chance.
The general order of the conversation, was the difficulty of getting the people to listen to anything. One of the Spirit Twigs shared, the people now walked about with things stuck in their ears attached to cell phones. If they were not listening to mindless jabber on the other end, then they listened to loud music. Often they played games for hours, totally mesmerized. And now their note pads were portable computers. The Spirit Twigs were planning to use their very toys to bring about a connection to those willing to listen.
The Unicorn, nodded in agreement. The Council of Nook then voted animals as the most effective cover for their Spirits. In disguise, they were to nurture Infinity's Plan, and bring forth the newest and most important of earthly changes - Peace. This time, it would be the Unicorn who would provide the necessary ingredient. It was not often, Infinity would allow additional ingredients, but this time, there was no time. All these matters were discussed early that morning at sunrise.
The final and most important matter, was the girl, Urania. Folium reminded the Spirit Twigs to be ready. The girl, had begun to listen. Of course, it was only a hop-skip and a jump to the next level. Spruce and Timber, were on their way to meet with Piccolo and Caruso, Urania's pets. Urania accepted her budgie and cat as equals. They were part of her family.

"The Mission of Spruce and Timber
Not only were Spruce and Timber unique inhabitants of Cranny Nook, they - as the others- were extremely kind, able to provide Infinity's Guidance to the world and loved everyone. Their mission was to spread positive energy throughout the universes.
Until now, Infinity was adamant about not placing pressure upon the people.
Infinity Said to Spruce and Timber.'I Have Given all inhabitants of earth free will. I Had Hoped for humans to come to My Way of thinking through My Truth. You should see what they have done with this. My Truth Has been changed; made to fit their own needs. How can anyone know the Truth when they do this? I Gave them the instinct to know better. And what did they do with all this freedom? They used it to wage wars, giving Me credit for every death by their swords, their bombs, their poisonous gases.
THIS IS NOT THE DARK AGES!
They burned people at the stake, and kept doing this in My Name. What are they thinking? It is time for the Unicorn.'
The Spirit Twigs knew humans well, and had learned they always yielded to the easy way, often being swayed this way and that as if carried by the wind. Why wait for good fortune? Stab the others in the back. When Infinity Vented, it was not pleasant, and yet, Infinity Was very patient. The situation was no longer about patience. There was another problem facing earth. His patience had not run out, but earth's time was running down to zero. If the people did not grab control of themselves; primarily their greed and the environment, there would be no where else for them to live. Concession seemed to have disappeared among them. Many countries could not agree over the smallest issues. The scent of hatred was a stench which filled the air. Infinity Had Not told them, but earth was a training area for Angels who had not Pleased their Creator.They were not allowed to live in Infinity's Presence, until they corrected their ways. The other planets were not going to be ready for habitation for millions of years. Humans had been Created to house the Spirits of these fallen Angels. Extinction of the human race was imminent in the future. Everything was now sitting on a teeter totter and about to go boom!
Infinity Was Not cruel, but Tolerated nothing but Peace where He Resided. Each time a special Angel was Sent by Infinity to help, they were often chastised by those afraid of change. Others followed, making every effort to go the right way, but they were also subdued. Often, those who were forcibly silenced left earth in pain, but were brought back into Infinity's Hands to be comforted. Who then, would comfort Infinity?
Infinity's Light Glowed Brighter. 'They think, I Do Not Feel?' Infinity Said to Spruce. 'My Children, I Will Help them. I Will Cut their free will down to size; there is no other way.'
Spruce, answered. 'I Agree. It has been a long time since they lived with You. You Feel more deeply than all of us. They need to be reminded of Your Patient, Gentle, Kindness. I and Timber are used to Your Will. They will love the change, once they get used to it.'
Timber was enthusiastic with Infinity's Decision. Neighborhoods, once places of laughter with the sound of children playing in safety, were now fraught with fear and sounds of sirens. Tires were slashed, windows broken, and items seemingly of worth were stolen. There was no longer any place safe. Hell was on earth. Earth had always been one of Hell's levels, but was supposed to be one of the higher levels. One could reach up from there. Earth itself, was a difficult experience for humans. Eventually all had to return to face Infinity. To make matters worse, made no sense. An earthquake, a hurricane, a sandstorm. What more did they need? Infinity's Force was Sizable, in fact, there were many more Spirit Twigs than people.
The Mission was about Perfect Timing. Infinity's Synchronized Precision. No special effects, only the Truth this time would do, and Subtle Ways would now Produce Infinity's Best Miracle. Nothing was left up to chance.The people would finally be able to hear Infinity Speak. First, Spruce and Timber would begin with Urania and Henri, who were ready. Piccolo, Caruso, and Sir Periwinkle were in place for the next step. Knowing the weaknesses of human nature, Spirit Twigs had been mentally feeding them -constantly- on factual soup from the greatest libraries of Infinity's Knowledge.
This was how Piccolo had reached Urania. This was how Sir Periwinkle worked with Henri. He often Spoke with Henri -telepathically- during their long morning rides through the grounds of Chateau La Hulpe.
On earth, when Infinity's wispy Spirits were within the vessel of a disguise -especially in animal form- their choice was for fruit, grains and vegetables, only eating as Infinity Taught them. Spiritually, the scent of cooked meat nearly made them sick, which would sometimes cause problems, especially if one was doing their mission in the form of a dog or cat.
Their favorite form of choice, was as a Spirit Twig. They needed little nourishment, which could not be provided from the sun, soil and rain.Spirit Twigs had the Power to create the radiance of a Vision, which could not be denied, but there were times they found it less complicated to transmit a message to a human through a trusted pet.
Sadly, the elderly were set in their ways, believing only what their leaders taught them within the many Holy Books; the tainted Truth. They believed without any thought of reason, these misguided lessons, which claimed to be The Truth. The older ones did not want to hear more, for this was absolute.
The only way to save earth, was now through the children. Urania was just on the verge of womanhood, but her youthful zest would allow her to lead the little ones.
The discussion on the next step continued beneath the roots of Chateau La Hulpe. Following the early morning meeting in the ceremonial chamber of Cranny Nook, Folium stood as tall as a wise, old oak tree. The other Spirit Twigs appeared before him, wafting in through another dimension, bringing forth their traveling forms of glowing orbs which challenged the torch lights. When Folium was around, all their chlorophyll sparkled. He had the highest respect of everyone; almost as much as the elders of the olive trees.
'The mission has begun,' He said with a booming voice, which caused the torches to spark. They moved away from the walls, just to be certain. They were of nature and fire was great for light, but they still needed to use caution.
'As I speak, Spruce and Timber are on their way. Soon Piccolo and Caruso will join us.'
A young sapling spoke up from the back of the room. 'Excuse me, Sir? Does Urania know they will bring her here? Will she not feel afraid, being a human and all?'
'Young Spirit, you have much to learn, however I welcome your concern. Remember why Urania has been chosen.' And just to remind him and everyone who was intently listening to every last word, 'She listens!'
Urania, would be able to interact with the Spirit Twigs, for she was a natural medium between herself and all of nature. Her love of animals was only one of the keys. She was quiet, often reflecting on positive ideas to help others. It was not unusual for her to be seen walking through the forest. She was not attracted to life indoors.
The Spirit Twigs, like their Father-Mother Infinity, were also regarded as having great Patience. It had been a long time since they were needed on earth in such large numbers. When they spoke through Infinity's Power and one listened, they provided the positive answers to many questions.
Infinity Had Spoken Directly to men and women long ago, after Giving them a conscience for understanding. Before, it had only been a matter of man being stubborn and greedy. Then, they took this one step further, they refused many of Infinity's Commands.
'Patience,' thought Infinity. 'I Have all the time in Eternity. If they choose to go this way, they will need the same Patience and Perseverance as I, and this they do not possess.'
♦♦♦ In Cranny Nook, Folium spread his limbs, allowing many twigs to reach out beyond the podium. He wore many faces. If you looked closer, it sometimes seemed as if an eagle were perched between his branches. When he was in full splendor, he appeared to be tall enough to reach beyond the clouds.
He spoke to the others, with a voice echoing in the chamber. 'I Will Now Share with you, what will be done here on earth, and how this plan will involve all of you.'
At this point, every limb reached to the ceiling.The Spirit Twigs -still remaining in animal form- stood on hind legs and made sounds resembling an unruly barnyard. The birds spoke with great clarity, totally forgetting to chirp. The others glowed the colors of vibrant rainbows. Joy filled the room.
Above ground, Spruce and Timber prepared for their mission. They were very excited. Being in the bodies of tree twigs was helpful, for in smaller forms they were quite believable, but not as frightening. They most definitely did not want to terrify Urania and they were relying on Piccolo and Caruso to help her relax. They were swift and adept at moving about in the air, but this time they could not travel in Spirit form, and chose to use the 'Put Put'. The little cars which were used for ground transport were red. Their tiny car sat parked next to the stables of Chateau La Hulpe.
Spruce and Timber had spent much of the early morning hours, sitting in the darkness of the grand stables discussing their quest. It was not yet day break. Timber waved one of his limbs and the engine sprang to life.
'We should leave now Spruce, while it is still dark. Less traffic you know.'
Spruce smiled and patted Timber on the head, landing a branch like arm on his canopy.
Spruce replied. 'I know how it is in Brussels, Timber. No one, and I mean no one can read the signs. The roads are so poorly marked, that without Infinity's Guidance System, we would surely get lost. It is so much easier moving about in Spirit form.'
Timber assured Spruce that all would go well, for the planets were aligned and the moon was in the second house! Yet, Timber was still checking all systems. He had only recently-in the last six hundred years- been promoted to a higher status as a Spirit Twig, and wanted to please Infinity.
'I have seen the populace in their dreams, and their new inventions of strange machines. There are many castles for them, yet they never have enough. They have the best food, thanks to us; chocolate.' Spruce went on to describe chocolate to Timber. 'A bean, brown like the earth beneath our roots, but with the heady scent of Heaven. Crush the beans; make it sweet and everyone swoons. Can you imagine, Timber, they make the chocolate into doll like shapes?'
Spruce then stood straight and rigid, not moving a muscle. He was enjoying his one way conversation with Timber and above all, the look on Timber's face while checking the controls on the put put.
Spruce continued: 'We also have to free William, who is stuck in the fountain of Manneken Pis. A Spirit should never find themselves in such a predicament. He -like one of us- accepted the Mission to save the world, and was sent out among the humans. They did not understand what he wanted to do. As a Spirit Twig he taught them all about Infinity, but they looked upon him, and all they could think of was his twig like shape. Instead of becoming more Spiritual, they took from him the idea for chocolate Mint Twigs. There he was teaching them Eternal Love and Peace, but they saw instead, a new type of chocolate candy. William chose to take on another shape, but something went wrong. Instead of being in a chocolate doll, a temporary form, he found himself trapped in a fountain statue of a young boy. I am told there was a maker of bon bons who ironically decided to make chocolates, which looked like the famous Brussels statue. The tourists love both the statue, and the chocolate version.'
Spruce then was quiet, and he turned in a circle, dancing with the leaves. Timber finally replied, for all systems were go. 'I am glad the girl Urania, is not a bon bon maker.'
''My Name Is INFINITY. Now, My Readers, I want you to know the true stories of Manneken Pis.
Manneken Pis is a real statue, which stands in the city of Brussels. There are several legends to Share, one being about Duke Godfrey II of Leuven. Imagine a two year old boy, who was a lord, with an army. There was a battle against his troops. At this time the young lord, was placed in a basket and hung from a tree. This was so his army could see their lord, and gain more courage. As it goes with two year olds, it is said he urinated on the troops of one of his enemies, causing them to loose.
The second legend is from the 14th century. Another battle, where there was an attempted takeover of Brussels, but they were doing quite well holding the line. The enemy decided to take down the city walls with explosives. Remember the Battle of Jericho? This time, they did not have trumpets. The enemy of Brussels lit the fuse and did not know there was a young spy!
The boy named Julianske, put out the advancing fire by urinating on it. He became a hero, and they fashioned a statue of him to commemorate the event.
There are more, but My story is next. Let us continue..."
'Timber, I do not want you to be afraid, but Urania's mother works in a bon bon shop!'
'Oh my Spruce, that comforts me less. How can you be certain she will not do the same to us?'
'INFINITY Will Save us, as long as we do everything within INFINITY'S Perfect Plan.'
Timber checked Infinity's Guidance System one last time.
In the back of the Put Put, there were sacks of dirt. This was for planting. If they wanted hide along the way, they could plant their roots. A spark of light flew from Timber's branch, and the tiny vehicle came to life.
'Ready Spruce?'
'We go yes.'

"Urania
Piccolo will take us forward for a moment, for Spirits have no worries about time. At least, not when they are free from their bodies. Even though the budgie Piccolo is speaking from the future, he looks back in his memory to tell you the story."
Piccolo: 'I have memories of this day which are quite vivid. In fact, I remember everything that has happened in the multi-universes. If I were but a simple budgie, I would feel saddened we are no longer living in our cozy, Brussels flat. I am not a simple budgie. I am here to Speak to Urania, and to work along side Caruso her cat. Both of us are Infinity's Spirits. urania Speaks to us, and We to her, Through Infinity's Power. She is our responsibility. Our mistress is very affectionate. As Spirit Twigs in disguise, we have been Given the best human friend any of us could ever hope for.
In preparation for our Mission, we bonded with Urania from the very beginning, allowing her to witness the Miracle of hearing us Speak. It is interesting, she never thought this odd. When Infinity Sent Word to Folium that Urania was ready, we felt Blessed.
Do you want to know how we reached her? She was unique, so unlike other young girls. Television was one of her lowest priorities, and head phones attached to music players did not exist in her world. She chose gentle music, not raising the volume so the neighbors could also hear it. She amazes us, preferring violins and the sounds of a lute; sounds which do not hurt our sensitive ears.
How I miss the music of the trees. Urania has heard this music, for Infinity often Sends her this music in her dreams. I must introduce you to Urania, our Chosen empath.'
The radio jumped across the table, bursting to life. Loud music, offended her senses. Urania rolled over in her warm bed, pulling the covers over her head. She had forgotten to turn off the alarm, and wondered at the frequency change. She murmured, stretching her arm outward, attempting to stop the invasion of sound. It was Saturday, and she had not a care in the world. She vaguely thought, where's my classics station? Finally her hand met the target. At the same time, she knocked over her stack of favorite Andre Rieu CDs.
Urania's auburn hair lay askew on the soft pillow and framed her gentle face. Gold flecked, hazel eyes, peeked out from under the pink cover. She looked to the window for a clue to the weather. Finally, no rain, she thought. At least not yet.
'Good morning Piccolo. How are you my sweetie tweetie?'
I Spoke to her. 'Urania, the day looks quite promising. Folium has sent word. You are ready to meet with the others, like ourselves.'
'Budgies?' She questioned, and then laughed. Not wanting to forget Caruso she added. 'Sorry Caruso, I mean budgies and cats?'
Piccolo: 'Urania's sense of humor made life more pleasant. She was here with us on earth, as a very special Angel. Infinity Knew this when she was Chosen. We spent many hours bringing her memory forward from Heaven. She was prepared.'
♦♦♦
Urania's room was most unusual for a girl of eighteen. It lacked the usual posters of popular groups normally taped to the walls. She still clung to the peaceful side of childhood, which was a collection of dolls and stuffed animals. The room was tidy, with everything she treasured neatly placed on several shelves. These had been long ago left behind with childhood dreams, but were always loved and dusted weekly. School books and information on colleges were scattered on her computer desk, along with her latest passion, the 1957 comic series of Marsupilami.
Urania's clothes lay in several mounds, some on the chair - others on the floor. The open closet revealed bright colors and the faded blue of jeans.
Her black cat, Caruso, was curled up next to her on the other pillow. He had wrapped himself up in her favorite feather boa, making sounds of sleeping gurgles and purrs. The cat stretched his paws, pressing them into her back.
Piccolo: I jumped up and down on the perch, wishing to be next to her, but until I was out of the cage that would be impossible. 'Caruso, wake up! We have work to do.'
Caruso began stretching, placing all four paws on the edges of on the white throw rug. I told Caruso, 'Let's not over do it, remember you are still a Spirit Twig.'
Urania was beginning to stir. 'Good Morning Caruso,' she murmured.
Today, she felt the urge to go to the Grande Place. It was one week until her eighteenth birthday, and nearly Christmas. Urania knew all the quaint shops would have their windows decorated for the holiday. As it was tradition in Brussels, they would be surrounded by many vendors selling food and trinkets in tiny circus tents.
'What should I wear today?'
Piccolo: 'She directed her question to me, while holding up her purple and black striped socks'.
'I have a feeling something is going to happen. I just know it. You know don't you? Tell me Piccolo.'
Caruso grabbed the tip of one sock and began to roll over and over until it wrapped around him. Caruso purred softly, sending his thoughts to mingle with hers.
Piccolo: I intercepted his telepathy and spoke to her first. 'Urania, your feeling is correct. Yes, you must go to the city, but I will not be going with you, not just yet? I have more preparations to make here with Caruso'
'Of course not Piccolo, it is much to cold for you out there.'
Piccolo: 'No, Urania, remember what I told you. I am much more than a bird. I am not going to tell you what, but one day I will show you. Caruso! Let Urania get dressed.
He let go of her sock and came to attention.
Caruso: 'Urania?'
She turned to him while reaching for her warm sweater.
'Yes?'
Caruso: 'You should dress in your warmest coat today. You will be very busy.'
He said this, wrapping himself around her bare feet. Caruso thought carefully, and once more purred a response that met with her thoughts.
Caruso: 'Piccolo and I will be along later.'
Urania understood well, the language of her conscience guides, but sometimes the why challenged her. She gave Caruso a confused look. The Spirit Twig speaking through Caruso, continued.
Caruso: 'It is time Urania, and you do know what I speak of.
Piccolo stopped preening long enough to second the motion, and clung to the side of the cage.
'It is time already? I knew it. All month I have been filled with electricity, you know, a bit on edge.'
Piccolo: 'You know not to be afraid. There are others coming to help guide you. They will meet you in the city. Finish dressing, and you must tell your mother something, but not everything. Not yet.'
'Piccolo, I know exactly what to say.'
With this, she grabbed her warmest coat and winter scarf, and swung her purse over her shoulder.
'One last thing, I'd better take a few things with me. I will be staying elsewhere for awhile, right?
She looked in Piccolo's direction while packing a valise, making certain she did not forget her warm sweater.
Piccolo: 'Yes, Urania. for some time.'
Caruso followed Urania, trailing closely at her heals. She was headed to the kitchen, but first she tucked away her small bag near the front door.
The smell of her mother’s hot coco bubbling over on the stove, made the house smell wonderful. Urania grabbed a piece of warm bread spread with apricot jam. A warm dish of milk was sitting at Caruso's eating place, which he lapped up quickly.
As usual, Urania's mother greeted her with a command, followed by a question.
'Sit down dear and talk awhile. Do you have to run off so quickly?'
She was thinking of how to get out of one of her mother's long conversations.
'The Christmas Market is open; There are so many wonderful things to see and do.'
Her mother added. 'Urania, don't buy anything on your birthday list, OK?
'No problem, I have many things to take care of, and this time it is not about shopping for me. '
Urania winked at her Mother, taking a short time to finish her coco.
Eva picked up an umbrella leaning in the brass stand . She pressed it into Urania's hands.
'Here honey, take this. You know how the weather changes around here, and goodness child, where are your gloves.'
Her daughter patted her coat pocket, indicating the gloves, while at the same time taking the umbrella. She kissed her mother on the cheek, mentally saying: 'Sorry mom, this may take more time than the average city trip.'
All she actually said was.
'Bye Mom.'
Piccolo: 'This was the exact moment I took leave of my budgie body, for I would now travel in Spirit, and accompany Urania to the Christmas market. Caruso would have to wait till later. For now, it was important he kept Eva busy, until it was time to take the next step. This was the last time we saw our flat. We haven't been home for nearly a year, and now live in the underground quarters of Cranny Nook. We are about to do a bit of traveling, but first, I must finish telling you what happened next.'

"The Spirit Twigs Travel To Brussels
The Put Put hummed, but it was a disguise. The tiny vehicle worked on the Power of Infinity. If you looked under the hood, there was no engine and there was no place to put fuel, that filthy, dirty petrol.
Spruce and Timber waited patiently while huge machines sped down the hard path, humans called roads. They had never understood why the giants made the dirt turn black and hard. It always hurt their roots, and the scent of asphalt was horrid. Within their natural form on earth, Spirit Twigs did not wear shoes. They were thankful that in the Nook, there was soft earth for the floor. Their roots were of great strength and could perform many multi tasks, but roads were meant for automobiles.
People standing near the entrance to Chateau La Hulpe, looked at the strangely shaped vehicle. Spruce and Timber's peculiar looks gained the most attention.
'Perhaps, there's a circus at the Chateau,' they thought. Spruce wasn't the slightest bit phased by the scrutiny. The individual people had their own consciences, and as soon as the onlookers were intercepted, they stopped wondering at the spectacle.
Timber looked first left, then right, and moved out onto the main street. Just a short jaunt to the right and they turned left into the parking lot across the street. At least there weren't any people there.
Spruce looked at Infinity's Guidance system attached to the dash. There was not much to do but to set the location desired, and push a blue button. After all, they could not take off like a VTOL (1), with the people watching. The parking lot afforded them some privacy, but not for long. Spruce set the location for The Grand Place, Brussels, mentally thinking of the carpet of flowers on display, which would be scattered about when they landed in the center.
Thoroughly certain that everything was ready, and with their seat belts hooked, Spruce pushed the blue button. The Put Put could reach higher rates of speed than any known transporter on earth. Swoosh!
It was up. Swoosh! It moved forward in an instant. A young child across the street, stared and wondered at what he had seen. He thought. 'A strange, red bird, perhaps?' The Put Put had moved too quickly to be seen in detail. If the small car had been analyzed by scientific means, the scientists would have been perplexed. This most certainly was not from another planet, but from another dimension. Matter? Not quite.
When they had finally escaped the clouds, and could see the blue sky above, they felt a pang of homesickness, but pushed this back to thoughts of their mission. They flew just above the forest canopy. All the trees whispered greetings. At this time, Timber and Spruce began to feel their excited anticipation.
'News travels fast with Infinity's Timing, eh Timber?' 'That it does, Spruce,' he thought in return.
At that moment, the people on the ground - who had had been left behind at Chateau La Hulpe - grabbed for their hats as the wind intensified. Leaves blew in twirling circles, rising upward, only to disappear out of site. There were sparkles and intense light surrounding the people walking along the paths of La Hulpe parc, especially near the groves of trees.
Forthwith, Spruce and Timber underwent a transformation, and a low lying cloud covered the fact that they had unfurled their many twigs and roots.
In an instant, – a nano second – they were over the Grand Place, and within an attosecond they had landed. The crowd cheered, thinking this all was part of the show. After all, this year's theme for the flower carpet had been the Circus.
In descending, Timber and Spruce left a few leaves flying about, which mixed nicely with the carpet of flowers. Spruce looked up at the overcast sky, watching as the Put Put magically disappeared into a cloud. The red, flying automobile, hovered above, awaiting their return.
They had to leave the IGS in the Put Put, but were most confident they would find the statue of Manneken Pis without trouble.
Just off the Grand Place, there was a unique street named Rue Charles Buls. On its corner there is a reclining statue of marble attached to the wall. The artwork of a man who had died defending Brussels in the 14th century. His name is Everard't Serclaes. As with Manneken Pis, this statue has several legends. The statue of 'good luck', has been touched by many when visiting the city. However, it is said, if this is touched by a female, she will become pregnant. Many women would touch the statue, and think, 'make me able to have a baby'.
Timber and Spruce wondered at the humans who believed in superstitions, yet had no Faith in Infinity. It was down this street, several blocks past all the shops selling handmade, delicate lace, that Manneken Pis stood, spilling out the water from his manhood, into a font below. 'Poor William', thought Spruce.
They moved quickly through the crowd. Human feet seemed to be everywhere, hustling and bustling in all directions. Thanks to their quick thinking, Spruce and Timber changed their faces to resemble small children who were much too thin.
Piccolo: As your narrator, I am sure you are wondering how I know so much about the travels of Spruce and Timber. Telepathy, of course. I know you believe in telepathic messages, do you not? When you are young, you can do this often with your parents, but the older you become on earth, the less you have this ability, unless you are one hundred percent with Infinity. Right now, I am traveling with Urania in Spirit. We will soon meet with Spruce and Timber, who will be waiting for us, at the statue of Manneken Pis.
Spruce sniffed the air. There were smells a plenty coming from the small wooden cabins lined up along the street. There was the scent of burning wood, and he could see wisps of smoke coming from the smoked sausages. A small child waiting in one of the lines, held tight to his mother’s hand.
'Look Mother! Are those Santa’s elves?'
Spirit twigs tended to shine. Most children had the uncanny ability to see and hear everything and Spruce's image was sparkling to the little boy.
'Most certainly honey, they are from the North Pole,' they heard her say.
Heading for the side street near the wall statue, Spruce and Timber stayed close to the building to avoid the crowds who were going to see the famous, Manneken Pis. Many carried digital cameras, and shopping bags. The ladies gasped as they hesitantly touched the relief representing Everard't Serclaes. No one really believed in the legend, but they were still uncertain. Smiles and flashes from many cameras gave way to laughter.
Everyone moved forward as in a huge parade. The crown surrounding Manneken Pis was deep. It was difficult to see the tiny statue, over the heads of so many.

"Urania and Manneken Pis
Urania climbed down from the metro train, which ran along the rails under the city. The train had been crowded and there were no seats left.
Christmas shoppers were everywhere. Anspach station - where she had disembarked - was not far from the Grand Place where the extensive Christmas market attracted thousands of visitors. She wondered how they could afford so many presents with the economic situation in the world. This year, she would not be spending much of her allowance.
Piccolo's spirit was traveling with her.
Piccolo: 'Urania? URANIA!. I wonder if she can hear me in all this crowd? She is so excited, and I can feel her anticipation.'
Piccolo sensed his friend in the area. She was gliding overhead, close to Urania. The large, white dove was circling.
Piccolo: 'Ah, there she is. That is Crystal .'
Crystal was Infinity's Spirit. Piccolo: 'Infinity is here Urania.
Urania looked up for a moment and watched the dove as she came close. Light emanated from her wings. Urania was in awe of her beauty. Crystal quickly ascended out of sight, leaving Urania to speak to Piccolo.
Urania: 'Was this one of your friends?' she whispered in her mind.
Piccolo: 'Urania, she is one of the most important of Friends. She is the Most Holy.'
It took Urania a minute to understand what had just occurred, but she breathed a sigh of Joy. It was beginning; everything she had looked forward to for so long.
Piccolo: 'Blessings Urania, we have much to do. It is now time to release William Rhue's Spirit from the Manneken; he is a part of this too. Spruce and Timber have arrived. They are waiting for us. Let us walk quickly.'
It was difficult to navigate along the back street which had become so crowded. Lace and tapestries hung in shop windows next to the chocolatiers. Urania thought of her Mother - feeling a pang of guilt - and then reached to feel for her small back pack. She became so upset, she shouted.
'MY BAG, I forgot my bag!'
All she had with her was her purse and umbrella. She addressed the next question to Piccolo's spirit.
'What should I do? I do not have clothes with me for changing.'
Piccolo: 'Not to worry child, We are bound for Cranny Nook. Everything you could possibly need is there. '
This was when Urania caught a glimpse of Spruce and Timber, standing near the front the crowd. She edged closer to the iron gate that protected the fountain of Manneken Pis, curious to see more.
This was the first time she had ever seen a Spirit Twig.
'They are not any taller than my umbrella,' she thought.
They both turned to her and smiled. Spruce and Timber had heard her. They said nothing out loud, but spoke to her as Spirits in the same way as Piccolo.
A strange feeling came over her. She felt warm inside. She could swear the statue of Manneken Pis had smiled at her also.
Spruce jumped in surprise. He felt his brown sack shake with a small tremor. The bag grew hot and nearly burned his bark. Timber looked at him, knowing what had happened.
♦♦♦ At the same time, Caruso the cat sat straight up on Urania's bed. He was fully alert. His black fur stood on end filled with sparks of electricity.
The stable cat, Lady Puss, who had just returned from her visit underground to Cranny Nook, looked up at the horse Sir Periwinkle, and spoke no longer as a cat, but with her best Spiritual voice.
Lady Puss: 'It has begun, Sir Periwinkle. There's an electric scent of a strong conscience in the air.'
Henri and Sir Periwinkle
Sir Periwinkle no longer whinnied in reply, but also spoke very clearly. 'Yes, you are wise. It is time to prepare Henri. It will not be long before Urania arrives.'
Lady Puss said. 'They must be made ready for the long journey. They will understand the importance of their Mission.'
Sir Periwinkle continued. 'For the past twenty centuries, the people have allowed their will to flutter like the four winds. Infinity has long Prepared, in Patience, these necessary changes. For the world to stay on its present axis there is no other choice. Actually, this is not too much of a mind meld to bring about. All the people must be ready to tune in. If only we could tell them, this is their last chance at keeping their free will.'
Lady Puss thought deeply about this. 'Infinity has not Shared with us when this intervention will be complete. Perhaps Folium knows. '
♦♦♦ In the mean time, in the great chamber, Folium was addressing the Council of Nook. He froze mid-sentence. His golden leaves animated. They had become electrified. An invisible breeze moved his twig-like limbs outward. He looked upward to the unseen sky and continued.
'My friends and members of the council. Urania is with Spruce and Timber, and will soon free William Rhue to return to Cranny Nook. She now stands motionless, hearing us Speak.'
The Council members held their meeting in the torch lit room, deep beneath the earth of Chateau La Hulpe. The Great Chamber was decorated with tapestries, which told of tales long past in the history of Cranny Nook. These were not the handcrafts of the Spirit Twigs, but of the humans who had woven the stories from the history of earth into to these tapestries. Folium stood against one of these fine art pieces, and Spoke The Word of Infinity. They listened to him with great care, for what he had to say to them was Gospel. They felt his Light penetrating their outer bark, as he spoke to them. All the Spirit Twigs absorbed Light, and passed it on as wisdom in the form of whispers and breezes.
The group shivered in anticipation, as they beheld the largest of the tapestries. This was the tapestry which was not a story of the past, but of the future, which depicted the coming to the Nook of Urania and Henri. It was this very tapestry which hung behind and graced Folium's podium.
Folium now reached the moment he had been waiting for. The Spirit Twigs leaned forward in unison. One would have thought a strong wind had blown this strange underground forest into a slanted position. He was about to Share the Idea for their new Mission.
It was then that Crystal - the highly regarded Dove, who personally worked with Infinity - flew into the chamber and took her place on one of Folium's branches.
♦♦♦ In 'Tender Trees', another kingdom far away from Cranny Nook, Petolie, who looked like an olive tree, spoke before another group of Spirit Twigs. Petolie's heritage, was from the roots of an ancient, Sardenian, olive tree. Not from the same roots as Folium, but wise, just the same. His narrow, green leaves were sun parched and hung loosely upon strong, twisted branches. He stood, high above a cavern like courtyard, looking grand in the shining lights of many candles.
Petolie's crown of olive green sat on a very bald head, making his dark eyes seem like weathered bark. His face -void of emotion- was set in petrified stone, with a rigid and pronounced jaw bone. He lips were thin and stretched, moving only with the severe pronunciation of their ancient language. His audience also waited in anticipation.
Crystal, Infinity's white dove, who at the same time was in Cranny Nook, appeared from out of the shadows. She landed on Petolie's right branch, and Blessed them. This was her signal for him to begin.
'My Spiritual Friends, Crystal Brings to us The Word from Brussels!' Petolie's voice boomed over the crowd of Spirit Twigs.
Crystal spoke in the most elegant, musical voice.
Crystal Of Infinity: 'Urania is our new hope for the future. As I Speak, My Spirit Is Upon her, and as I just Said to Folium and The Spirit Twigs of Cranny Nook, stay alert and listen to your collective of consciences. I Will Speak to you often of Our Progress.'
With that, Crystal gently removed a small olive twig, from Petolie's wide trunk and disappeared.
♦♦♦ Back in Brussels, Urania felt her head begin to clear. She was able to hear - within her mind - Spruce speaking to the statue of Manneken Piss.
'Um, excuse me,' She said outloud, and then remembering herself, she switched to telepathy.
Manneken Pis spoke directly to her before she could continue.
'So you are Urania, the one they have been waiting for. It is good to finally meet you. Give me time to become myself again, and then we will speak further.'
Urania thought, 'The statue spoke me; this is amazing.'
She glanced around, certain others had heard him also, but then realized he had spoken to her the same way Piccolo had.
Piccolo, who heard her thoughts, said, 'I thought you had forgotten I was with you.'
'No I have not forgotten you, but this has been a most unusual visit to the city.'
Piccolo then spoke mentally to Urania, allowing the others to listen in.
'Urania, Manneken Pis is actually William Rhue, who has been trapped in this statue. He has patiently waited many years, for us to free him. He understands our Mission.
Long ago, He, as with us, accepted Infinity's Mission to help save the world and was sent out among the humans. I will tell you now, and our readers, once more, the humans did not understand what William wanted to do. As a Spirit Twig he taught them all about Infinity, but when they looked upon him, all they could think of was his twig like shape. Instead of becoming more Spiritual, they took from him the idea for chocolate Mint Twigs. There he was, teaching them Eternal Love and Peace, but they saw instead, a new type of chocolate candy.
William chose to take on another shape, but something went wrong. Instead of being in a chocolate doll - a temporary form - he found himself trapped in a concrete, fountain statue of a young boy. I am told there was a maker of bon bons who ironically decided to make chocolates, which looked like the famous Brussels statue of Manneken Pis. The tourists love both the statue, and the chocolate version; the rest of the story is history.'
INFINITY: 'What William did not realize is, that this was My Request in order for William to learn great patience, and in doing so, would also watch over all travelers who passed by. This now marks the end of one of his many Missions, which now leads us to Urania and the Greatest Mission of All Time.'
Urania, blushed in embarrassment, for she heard what I Shared with you.
Now Allow Me to Continue with the story. And if you believe this, you will believe anything. Do you really think I Would Allow one of My Spirit Twigs to stay trapped in a concrete statue? William has been with Me all along. Everyone, listen; all who are with Me. Urania, are you ready to learn the Truth? '
♦♦♦
At this time, Infinity, Shared with her the Truth about Who was Whispering to her as Piccolo the budgie, and Urania's telepathy with Caruso, her cat.
INFINITY: "Urania, I Am Speaking through both your pets, and there are times, I Allow My Spirit Twigs to Speak Through Me, Bringing My Word to humans. All that is necessary is strong Faith, and the will to stop what they are doing to listen. You child, listen. My Unicorns are back on earth. I shared this long ago with another, through a very special bird. Do not ever think unicorns are only a legend.'
Urania heard My Inner Voice, and for a moment looked puzzled, but nodded in agreement.
'Now, I Direct you to follow everything William Rhue teaches you; he has My Authority. Soon, We Will be Working Together, in Unison. Spruce and Timber will assist. '
♦♦♦ Spruce reached into his sack to retrieve the keys to the Put Put. When he raised them in the air, they swung back an forth creating sparkles of light.
Manneken Pis, the inanimate statue, tumbled from his base. William Rhue manifested quickly, and with the wisdom of the ages, spoke to them from atop the stone pedestal. Urania witnessed an aura which pulsated and moved in all colors of the rainbow. The tourists saw nothing.
William: 'Urania, it is my great pleasure to see you transported to Cranny Nook. Every one is anxious to meet with you. Folium, awaits our presence.'
Urania: 'Cranny Nook, did you say?' She glanced at the crowd staring at Manneken Pis, his concrete base now standing in the pool behind the iron fence. She asked: 'Why are all of these people not moving?' ' William continued. 'They can not hear me, nor see me. Once we leave, they will not remember what happened, only that the statue fell.'

"Urania at Cranny Nook Urania thought, 'Truly, I am dreaming,' when William took on the form of a Spirit Twig. He smiled - unfurling his limbs - and moved forward towards Spruce and Timber. Taking the keys from Spruce, he began to dance. Not just any dance, but one that had his feet like roots moving so quickly that they were a blur. The keys which he held over a twig twirled around in the air moving faster and faster. Urania began to feel a dizzy sensation, as the ground seemed to drop out from beneath them. They rose above the people. She squeezed her shopping sack to her chest. Looking down, she witnessed the red tile rooftops blur in her vision as their flight accelerated. The red Put Put hovered beside them when suddenly, they morphed. First they were without and then, within. Urania, shook her head, hoping it would clear. William Rue sat in the driver's seat, with Spruce beside him. Urania was squeezed in next to Timber. 'Sorry,' he said, as one of his limbs touched the top of her head. The closer to Cranny Nook they traveled, the more Urania's conscience merged with Infinity's. Once, Infinity had been the Spirit of her bird -Piccolo- and now, Infinity was within her. Yet, she was not afraid, in fact, just the opposite.The scent of the freshly cut lawn and cypress trees filled the air. William slowed the Put Put to a hover, and began his descent over La Hulpe. The stable master, Henri DuPont, looked up when he heard the commotion above his head. He couldn't believe his eyes, when the air born travelers dropped out of the sky in the red car. He had been returning from taking the horses out to the pasture for their daily grazing. There before him, were three, small stick like men, and a young woman who didn't seem to think this was odd.Urania sat in the back seat of the Put Put, thinking about what had happened. She then saw a flash, a sudden picture of her mother sitting in the kitchen worrying over her being late coming home from the city.William, hearing her thoughts, shared. 'Infinity Knows you are concerned Urania, and Will Make Certain your mother understands what is about to happen.'Sir Periwinkle - prepared for their arrival,- watched from his prime spot along the wooden fence. Lady Puss, sat near by on the fence. The cat mentally spoke to him first. 'Amazing, form of travel. If Urania had not been with them, they wouldn't have needed the Put Put.'Lady Puss appeared to be uninterested in the grand entry of the travelers and was grooming herself. Sir Periwinkle replied, 'And if Henri were not a part of this, I would not need to inhabit this horse.' Lady Puss said. 'It won't be much longer till we can return to our true shapes.'Henri approached the vehicle. He had just witnessed something unbelievable, yet in his mind, it seemed completely normal. Henri walked over to Urania, wiped his hand on his pants and reached out to her.'I just saw you drop out of the sky. Have we suddenly taken a trip to Oz?'What Henri said made Urania laugh.'Please excuse my work clothes. My name is Henri; I work here at Chateau La Hulpe.' Then he added... 'with the horses in the stable.''I'm Urania,' she said. 'Ask the little trees.'Sir Periwinkle standing with Lady Puss, observed their first encounter with great interest. The horse neighed and stood up on his back hind legs. Henri saw Urania's startled expression.'It's OK, Sir Periwinkle is very gentle. He's showing off.'Then Henri, turned to the Spirit Twigs, and asked. 'Who, and exactly what are you?'
William said. 'Rather than tell you, Infinity Will Show you.'
At this moment, The Spirit Twigs, became inanimate. Their wooden bodies fell as sticks in the dirt.
Starred lights hovered above the earth's surface, each in a beautiful ball of energy. William, Spruce, and Timber were now in their natural forms; Spirits of Infinity.
William spoke first. 'This is how we are, and how we truly travel from planet to planet, and between the many dimensions. Henri, Urania, watch closely.'
A Vision appeared before them. A cascade of melting colors came down over the park surrounding Chateau La Hulpe.
The Chateau itself, was worn and showing advanced signs of age. Windows were broken and the vines brown in death.
Where the tall Cypress trees now dotted the land, there were deep crevasses where they could look into the earth and see twisted roots swimming in putrid mud, with a heavy fungus growing. The rhododendrons were gone, and the lawn sparse with muddied puddles leading up to a lake filled with murky water. No weeping willows along the lake.
At this point Infinity Spoke, and then was silent. 'Urania, Henri, listen. What do you hear?'
Urania squeezed her eyes shut, but could not block out the Vision. Silence, there was nothing but silence. No birds were singing, no voices, no animal sounds.
Henri listened for the sounds of his horses and the cows who usually could be heard in the distance, begging to be milked. Nothing. Silence.
Henri took a deep breath and gasped for air. He felt he was not getting enough oxygen.
The Vision changed, and they were no longer at the Chateau.
'We are swimming', Urania thought. She saw Henri moving forward next to her, in what appeared to be an empty ocean.
They saw a few fish but not many. They were small, thin and without energy in their movements. The light from the sun permeated the area; the water itself was void of perceptible plankton. A huge bone structure slowly moved up from the depths, caught in a swift current. It was what had been a blue whale.
At this point they were back on dry land, but witnesses to a completely different landscape. All around them they saw what appeared to be a burned out forest, yet in the distance there were rotting trunks along a river. The trees which had once sat atop the bases, were not there. Here there was also silence.
The Vision ended, leaving them where they stood, surrounded by the lush park at the Chateau.
William told them. 'You have seen the future. The modified will not live. With the originals gone, no one will survive. Big money; seeds and lifeforms becoming extinct, oxygen at low levels in many areas.'
Urania said. 'I feel so small. I have no idea what to do to stop this.' Henri added. 'We are supposed to stop something this serious?'
William answered. 'All the great minds of the past have sought a solution to the problem. Famous writers have made a fortune writing solutions within the fantasy. We are not ents, and we are not up against an evil witch. Humans are up against themselves. They are destroying each other, and their planet. They have forgotten to thank Infinity, to have Faith in Infinity, to ask Infinity.
We are going down into Cranny Nook. There, Infinity Will Meet with us.'
Sir Periwinkle spoke to Henri and Urania. 'You are with the strongest of all forces when you are with Infinity. He does not often come Forward in a human to teach. Usually it is one of His trusted Angels who teach from without. Urania, remember how gentle Piccolo was with you, and understand, Infinity Goes by many Names. Do not be alarmed when Infinity Asks you to perform your Mission.'
Urania listened closely to Sir Periwinkle; having never heard a horse speak. 'You are very brave to have flown here in the Put Put, Urania. So you are not confused, I am not a Spirit Twig, in disguise as a horse. One day, I will show you who I am.'
'Where actually, is Cranny Nook?,' she asked.
Sir Periwinkle said, 'Do you see that large tree over there by the road to the stables?'
She saw across the field, the cypress tree surrounded by pieris japonica bushes. Lady Puss moved forward, heading in the direction of the trunk.
'If you look closely where Lady Puss stands, there is a small door which leads underground. It's well hidden behind the brush.'
'How do they expect me to fit through a small door?' she thought.
Henri, looked puzzled. 'There is a door in this tree? I never noticed it.'
Hearing Urania's thoughts, Timber answered. 'Eventually all of us have to go down there. It is easy for the Spirit Twigs; we separate from our forms. As for Sir Periwinkle and yourselves, it will be more difficult. Urania, you and Henri have no idea who you are. Soon you will experience many things to which you are unaccustomed. '

" The Large Door To Cranny Nook
I Am Infinity and shall Narrate, now that Piccolo is once more himself.
Henri and Urania are standing on the gravel path that winds through the park and passes through the decrepit stables of Chateau La Hulpe. These old stone buildings reek of horse, and are hidden by a grove of trees. Urania's love of horses attracts her to Sir Periwinkle. She stops. I Speak.
'Urania! I Am Here for you. Do not worry about home. Piccolo, he is fine, and soon your Mother will understand.'
Urania's was blinded by brilliance. She saw a phosphorescent light -twirling in mid air- painting Sir Periwinkle's stall like the sun. Looking closer, she thought of a warm fire. Click click, and light gave way to an ornate door.
She gasped, turning towards Henri. At first, she couldn't speak. I can't believe I'm crying, she thought.
'Please, Henri?... ' She stopped.
She saw his confusion. Henri had just witnessed a door appear in a place he thought he knew like the back of his hand.
William, Spruce and Timber floated over their heads. Henri looked up, facing the orbs of light.
'I know what I'm seeing can't be, but it must be so. I know I'm awake. What in pickles is all this about? What is THAT?'
I Spoke to everyone.
'This is the newly Created human entrance to Cranny Nook, which has existed since the beginning of Knowledge on Earth. This is the first time in two millennia, any human will be allowed within. Come Henri, I Will Show you and Urania, refuge from all evil on earth. You may consider this as part of the original roots beneath the Garden of Eden. Eden is in a different dimension, and changes shape at My Will. There are many entrances, this being one of them.'
Urania smiled, grateful not to be going through this dream like adventure alone. 'I can't believe this is happening ... I'm so scared.' Her mind was moving in circles with the speed of a blender. She jumped back, nearly knocking Henri off balance. The golden door opened to reveal a long tunnel carved out of stone and the path leading deep into the underground beneath La Hulpe.
Thinking quickly, Henri snapped the kerosene lantern off the stable wall and followed the orb who was William Rue, through the darkened hole. Urania stayed close to Henri. Spruce and Timber's Spirits were the last two in the entourage.
Urania caught the whiff of burning herbs. The smoky scents greeted them, making the descent into the cavernous atmosphere pleasant.
Above their heads, the tourists traipsed along the paths that wove in and about the park surrounding the old chateau, unaware that another world existed beneath their feet.
Henri raised the glass globe, blowing out the fire in his lantern, for now the walkway was lit with bright torches. These flickered along the stone walls causing mica rocks and green moss to shimmer like diamonds.
Urania heard the sound of running water, and gentle, musical notes echoing in the air. She looked down at her feet. With all this dampness, they were still dry. 'Interesting atmosphere,' she thought.
'I thought that the ground would be cold and damp, but it is surprisingly warm and dry. I wonder how they manage to keep this path free of moisture. Look at the ceiling. The walls are dripping like rain.'
When she spoke, her voiced also echoed sounding hollow. Urania touched a bit of the moss. She recoiled, pulling her hand away.
Later, after what seemed like several kilometers, the pace quickened and her thoughts turned to comfort. 'I should have worn my walking shoes instead of these boots.' They were now traveling quickly towards the sounds coming from deep within the cave. After a half kilometer, the path suddenly widened to reveal what appeared to be a marketplace.
The inhabitants looked like small trees. Spirit Twigs, who had not emerged from their wooden covers as orbs, were dressed in long colorful robes, wearing a soft velvet which covered over their arm like branches.
They were carrying baskets filled with fruits and other treasures they'd brought with them for Urania and Henri. Other Spirit Twigs, knelt around glowing fires, cooking chestnuts.
Henri's curiosity prompted him to ask a question. 'Aren't they afraid of fire?'
Spruce answered. 'We are not afraid. Our Spirits separate, when in danger. If you look about you, there are strategically placed water buckets along the walls.'
The marketplace extended over a large courtyard shaped like a star. Brightly lit paths led in all directions from the court. Ornate signs -painted in gold letters- were written in an unknown language, which neither Henri or Urania understood.
William spoke: 'Henri, Urania; We are but a simple group of Spirits Who have been working with Infinity.
William heard Henri question him in his mind. Telepathy was their normal way of communication.
'For what purpose, you have asked?'
'You heard what I was thinking?' Henri replied in thought.
William continued. 'We have two basic functions. As positive assistants to the human conscience, we help you make decisions, but we also try to guide you towards a more natural way of life. Young man, humans are on a bad turn; a rough down grade.'
Spruce added. 'Natural, ways have been lost throughout the centuries. All the cures to human disease exist on earth, but if we do not hurry, much will disappear. There are pharmacies on every street corner, and I can assure you there is little there natural to help those who suffer long term. Later it does not matter, for then if they are Blessed, they can live with Infinity. Until then, Infinity has provided them with all they need, if they are willing to harvest it. I not only speak of disease, but of the evil woes of the mind! Look about you Urania, we are working day and night to help you. You humans never fail to amaze Us. You would rather have a cola in the form of an acid solvent, than a good herbal infusion.'
Urania noticed the strangely shaped bowls that emitted green steam. She'd never seen green steam. There were also huge pots for cooking. She wrinkled her nose, sniffing at the unique scents. 'Oh my,' she said. 'This place is incredible.'
Henri was fascinated by the underground village. He wanted to ask William another question, but before he could, William was answering him.
'You are wondering why you are here?'
Henri nodded.
♦♦♦ 'INFINITY HAS HAD ENOUGH!'
This time, it was not a telepathic message, but loud; very loud.
'William, say the Prayer, the one all My Spirit Twigs say every hour of every day.'
I AM HERE to Help humankind, before they have no where to go. Urania, Henri, you have a Mission, one which I Will Share shortly.'
Bright orbs of light hovered overhead, and began to speak in unison.
We Pray for new days ahead. Days of doing unto others as We would have them do unto Us.
Days without terrorism, war, or crime without famine, greed, and abuse
without pain, suffering, disease, and illnesses... without disasters, corruption and evil
without bigotry and deceit without bullying and despair
Days of Peace on earth, as there is Peace in Heaven.
Days of Infinity'
Infinity, Added ... ''AMEN''
William, addressed Henri and Urania. 'The next world is beyond all human knowledge. When humans separate from their earthly body, as you have seen with the Spirit Twigs, where will they go? No one, except a few are listening to their guardians within their conscience. The answer Henri, is that you and Urania Are listening.'
Urania asked. 'How can we help? Why haven't you just fixed everything?'
'It's not so simple, with Angels in training, Urania. Infinity, is very Patient, yet Wants to Prompt changes for the better. We can plant the seeds, but they will have to take it from there. We will be Allowed for the first time in over two thousand years to bring this to a higher level. You see, up until now, we have only been able to influence humans through suggestions. They have stopped listening.'
Urania thought she heard Piccolo; the spirit of her budgie speaking to her through her conscience, and then remembered what Infinity had shared with her.
'Urania, I Need you to listen carefully; your Mother is worried, I Am having her brought here. She will need to bring Piccolo and Caruso with her, but they will be as bird and cat, once more. I Will Not have them starving with no one at home.'
Henri watched as Urania seemed to be frozen in a trance. He shook her a bit.
'Urania, are you OK?'
The color drained from her face, but she manage an answer.
'Sure Henri, I'm fine.'
She wondered how Infinity was planning to do this, but Infinity Assured her not to worry.
The orbs which were floating above, now re united with the their twigs, and began to move through the market.
Timber, took hold of Urania's hand, while Henri followed.
'Allow me to give you both a tour. The herbs you see here, now only grow underground and have secret properties unknown to man. We have saved them from extinction. They were once in the rain-forest.'
Henri, noted a beautiful horn shaped object sitting in the center of the room. He felt a twinge, within.
Timber said. 'This is most powerful of all, the horn donated by Sir Periwinkle. He who appears to be your horse, is a Unicorn, one of the few left on earth. He is not as he seems, yet he is similar to us, for his kind travels between dimensions. He will now have to wait several years before his horn regrows. The soft velvety horn will be used as a part of Infinity's Plan.
Urania was unable to take her eyes off the horn, finding herself being drawn closer. It was pulsating with light. William Rhue, sensing her affinity with the horn, watch it glow brighter as she approached.
Urania then asked. 'May I hold it?'
William answered: 'Why Of course Miss. You can not hurt it. It's lifespan is what it is, with or with out intervention.' He placed the Unicorn's horn in her delicate hands. With out warning, he shouted within her. 'Phlogiston!'
Urania jumped at his voice and from the feeling of intense warmth in her hands. The horn had turned a bright orange. Just then, it settled down, and the warmth was pleasant.
Urania began to feel very sleepy. She leaned on Henri, who had just witnessed the unimaginable. William took the horn from her, and laid it back on the table. It returned to the color of white.
She said to Henri. 'Please, I must rest.'
William said: 'Forgive my manners; of course you are tired Urania. Spruce and Timber will show you to your chambers. Rest there, and when you are refreshed, there shall be a grand meal.'
From behind the massive crowd, a forest of variegated tree limbs, Folium moved forward to take her hand within his branches. He was statuesque and very impressive.
He spoke to her, while prompting a memory . 'Urania, I trust your journey was not too stressful.'
This is when Urania suddenly remembered she had forgotten her bag of clothes which she had placed by her mother's umbrella stand..
He then added: 'You and Henri.shall be provided the comforts and abundances of Cranny Nook, You need nothing from home. Your mother will arrive in time for dinner.'
She relaxed more, and feeling the slumber coming upon her, the Spirit Twigs led her and Henri to their chambers.
Meanwhile, far away in Brussels -Caruso- Urania's cat, was about to become who he truly was.

“A Woman, Bird, and Cat on a Junket
Infinity: I Am Piccolo. I Am Caruso. I Am Everything to everyone. Urania is just beginning to understand that it was My Voice Guiding her, by Speaking from within her pets. She learned well their languages, and was as adept at understanding the variances of the tweets and meows, as her own voice.
Her mother is a different matter altogether. She is beginning to pace the floor, watching the clock. It is an hour past when Urania should have returned from the Christmas Market.
I Have the Power to be everywhere at the same time. Currently I Am with Urania, for it is very important I Be with her during her sleep. Piccolo and Caruso are used to Me Coming and Going at Will. Now that it is not longer necessary that they speak to her directly, they are enjoying their other natures, as budgie and cat. Caruso loves to wander about the park across from the house, which is where he is at this moment. Right now, I Need him to be home with Eva, Urania's mother. Soon, We will be bringing them to Cranny Nook.
I Do Not Need a form of transport. I Am Spirit. None of The Spirit Twigs – when in their natural form – need anything but My Power to move about. However, Eva, Piccolo and Caruso need the vehicle, the little 'put put'. Not until their Spirit is Released to the next level, will they be Allowed this luxury of convenience.
I Am Calling to Caruso.”
♦♦♦ Caruso quickly moved from the warm spot where he'd found the last patch of sun in the park. Dusk approached along with rain clouds. The cat ran across the street and scratched at the front door. Eva heard his cries. She stood up - almost spilling her hot chocolate - and opened the door to the world.
'You want in don't you, Caruso; do you know where Urania is? Silly, of course you don't. I'm very worried.' She said, glancing at the kitchen clock, as she had every five minutes, since she began to be concerned.
Caruso didn't waste any time wrapping around her legs, and headed towards Urania's bedroom.
Outside the window, the little, red 'Put Put' hovered. Piccolo chirped a greeting. Infinity Would Drive.
Suddenly the window seemed to open of its own will, and at the same time, Piccolo's cage door unlatched. Piccolo flew into the car, and perched on one of the seats. Caruso jumped from Urania's window to the vehicle, and chose to sit in the driver's seat.
Urania's mother, felt her legs grow lighter. 'Oh my, he he he ha ha, stop, Ohhhhhhh!'
An unseen voice spoke to her.
"Relax, Do not be frightened. I Am Going to return your memory, from the day of Urania's birth. You will soon come into understanding. I Am Taking you to Urania."
The the car descended to the street level, landing in front of the apartment building. The shadows deepened with dusk. With no people about, there were no witnesses to this amazing sight.
Eva spoke: 'I'm not frightened. I'm having the time of my life, even if this is a dream.'
She found herself moving forward, putting on her coat and picking up her purse. She opened the front door and got into the car, with no further questions. She suddenly felt sleepy, and found interest in the many dream-scapes in her visual screen. The Put Put ascended above the rooftops, and headed in the direction of Chateau La Hulpe and Cranny Nook.
"Eva slept, while I Drove. You would not have noticed, for I Had Not Manifested.
Piccolo dozed, sitting atop Caruso's head. It would have appeared to you, that Caruso was driving, for his two front paws were wrapped around the Put Put's steering section.
While in route, I Shared with Eva through Visions, many answers to her questions.
At this point she replied to Me, from her stupor .."
Eva said, 'I'm happy to hear that. I find the saving the world thing easier to understand now, from what You Showed me. All this time I thought I had imagined it. Even when Urania spoke about her Mission, I thought she was retelling Me her childhood fantasies.'
"Eva was anxious to see Urania. At this point I Gently awakened her as the vehicle descended to the front of the old stables."
The door to Cranny Nook appeared at the same moment and out stepped Urania and Henri. Eva found herself in a fog of sparkles and light.
Then she saw her daughter and took in a deep breath and smiled. 'Urania.' She said. 'I'm so relieved, I was very worried.'
'Mom, I'm so sorry. There was no other way. Are you alright?'
'I ... I think so. Please, don't ever do this to me again. I don't think I could stand it. I'm so happy to see you.'
Caruso climbed out of the car, still carrying Piccolo.
Urania laughed at the sight, and Henri made himself known by tapping her on the shoulder and clearing his throat.
At this point he stepped forward, reaching out his hand to greet Eva. 'Hello Mam, I'm Henri. I understand your amazement at all this. I was confused too. There's nothing to worry about, is there Urania?'
“I Spoke to Eva, Urania and Henri.
...Eva, allow Urania and Henri to show you where you will be living. You are to make this your home. There is no time to return to the city, for there are many preparations underway, and much to do.”
Urania said. 'Mom, I want to show you everything. I see you brought Caruso and Piccolo with you.'
With this, she bent over and picked up Caruso. Piccolo perched on her shoulder.

''Inside Cranny Nook
Folium was in his private quarters when Crystal, Infinity's dove messenger arrived. She had made it back to Cranny Nook in record speed, having followed the Put Put from Brussels. She gently elevated on wing from floor level, and landed on Folium's ornate pot. As was his daily custom and the custom of all Spirit Twigs, he'd planted himself there for extra nutrients. Crystal placed the olive branch she carried into the dirt at the base.
'Thank you for the offering, but where ever did you find an olive branch in Brussels?'
He placed a bowl of water before her and a dish of seeds and fruit.
Crystal said: 'Everyone has arrived; they are refreshing and then will meet in the main room for dinner. Has Infinity Shared with you, what we are to do next.?'
Folium answered. 'We are to wait till everyone is together, and then He Will Speak.
Urania and Henri will be briefed along with all the Spirit Twigs, Spiritual birds and animals of Cranny Nook.'
Crystal drank heartily from the water bowl, tilting her head back between each mouth full. She took a few of the seeds with her beak and shelled them.
♦♦♦ Meanwhile, in a torch lit corridor of Cranny Nook, Henri who had dressed for the feast, waited for Urania and Eva to meet him. He shuffled his weathered boots against the dirt floor.
Inside, Urania's room there was a different atmosphere. Beautiful tiled mosaics turned the walls into vivid rainbows, and tapestries gave them warmth and protection from dampness. The floor was inlaid with pink, Italian marble and festooned with a thick, Persian rug. Darkness gave way to light from several well placed candles. They were huge, much like the ones Henri had seen in church. Urania opened the massive, carved door, and invited him in. Her Mother, sat comfortably in a nearby chair.
'Hello Henri. Did Folium, or William tell you anything?'
Henri shook his head. 'No, only that we are to look in our wardrobes and change our clothes.'
She turned, swinging open the door to the freestanding closet. 'I've already looked in mine. Look at these!'
Urania pointed to the simple dresses, which seemed to be of soft linen, each of a different color, but shimmered in the candle light. She chose one and held it against herself, gazing first into the full length mirror, and then at Henri's reflection. Henri wore a shirt which was similar, and had chosen one the color of sienna. The jacket was made to be light but warm and matched well.
'Most unique, don't you think?' She asked Henri, and then to her Mother ... 'Mom, I think I'll choose this one.
Eva confirmed her choice, smiling.
Urania held the cream colored dress against her, by tucking it under her chin. It's length reached almost to the floor.
'Can you believe it?'
Henri said, 'William will be here to take us to dinner soon, at least that's what William said before he left. I'll be back in a minute ladies. I need to get something from my room.'
After he left, Eva said. 'Urania, now that is the kind of young man I hoped you would meet.'
'Mom, Infinity has other plans' She thought to herself, 'now where did that come from?'
When Henri arrived to his room, he found William Rue leaning on the bed. It was quite a sight, seeing a Spirit Twig that way.
William -telepathically- spoke first. 'Henri, good to see you son, do you understand me?'
'I understand you fine.' Then Henri replied within. 'I came back here to get my wallet. You knew I would do this. You read my mind.'
'This is our way,' answered William, 'You will become accustomed to it. Money? We do not use money in Cranny Nook.' And referring to his lack of pockets, 'Besides, where would I put it.'
Henri smiled, and looked again at himself in the mirror. He presented himself with a flourish, as if he were a prince.
'You wear these clothes well. They are the finest, and will provide you with warmth, protection, and a good audience. That's what this plan will need -you know- a good audience.' Then William added. 'Does Urania know?'
Before Henri could answer, William went on in earnest. 'It is the plan - all of this. Folium will tell all at dinner. You surly must be hungry? We have food for humans and food for trees, and food for animals. I am ranting on, forgive me.'
Finally, Henri found a space to answer in his own thoughts. 'I am looking forward to dinner.'
William gleamed, and he stood tall upon his roots, and gesturing towards the door, said, 'Go meet Urania and escort her to the fountain in the main courtyard. Dinner will commence in one half hour.'
With that, William moved all his root like feet at the same time to facilitate forward movement.
'It feels great to be able to move again,' he said, and disappeared around the bend.
♦♦♦ At the same time, Caruso had managed to escape his confines within Urania's room and had gone above ground to speak with Lady Puss. She was waiting for him, knowing he was on his way, but would now be as her, with his own voice. This Spiritual step, Infinity had Graciously Allowed, and soon they would be able to move within various hosts, not just as cats. Her telepathic instincts were fine tuned this day, for much was happening within Cranny Nook.
'I see you enjoyed a grand entrance. It has been a long time since we have met in the flesh, Caruso. How be it with you, my furry aviator?' With this, she licked a paw and waited for him to speak.
Caruso thought: 'I will take you down to where Henri and Urania are waiting, But first, it is time to relieve ourselves of these furry coats. Piccolo will meet us at dinner.'
Sir Periwinkle leaned his head over the wooded partition, which appeared to keep him prisoner in his stall. The padlock glowed hot, and fell to the ground. He emerged from his stall with pride.
At this point, there were still two cats in the barn who had suddenly returned to their feline personalities. Caruso and Lady Puss then disappeared into the woods. Now out of view, they emerged as two Spiritual Orbs of light who moved quickly.
Caruso asked Sir Periwinkle. 'Why do you not fly like Pegasus? You are one of us. Leave your form and travel light.'
'I must first gather the cows up at the museum bistro and along the way I must send word to the ducks and swans.'
Caruso listened with interest. 'Do not all of you use telepathy here? Send them word that way, or are you out of practice?'
The Unicorn, who was most wise used great patience, in fact, he was in perfect sync with Infinity, as was Folium. He knew Caruso and Lady Puss were young Spirit Twigs in training, who had just been allowed to go to the next step.
'I am a Unicorn. Cows are cows, and their level has not reached yours as of yet. They will hear me more clearly when I am close. Unicorns are different, and work beyond your level of invisibility. Now that everything is moving along nicely, I will go on hoof.'
Now, the young Spiritual Obs who had been within Caruso and Lady Puss, vanished near the ground, to take on their new form as Spirit Twigs.
Crystal flew straight and landed atop Sir Periwinkle. She would accompany him to meet the cows. There was no need for conversation, for all the voices of the Spirit Twigs spoke to her within her mind, and she had no problem understanding the Unicorn.
Sir Periwinkle looked about the path, making sure not to attract too much attention. He did not want any of the tourists visiting the Chateau to report a horse on the loose. He walked slowly towards the hill that led down to the lower pond. No one seemed to notice that a riderless horse was ambling along the cobblestones, wearing what would appear to be a feathered hat. He stopped to take a drink at the pond and in doing so, told the water fowl about the plan. The ducks, and geese began to travel air born, towards the Cranny Nook entrance.
Talking to the cows would be a different matter. He stopped at the crossroad which led to the tavern and noticed that the tables were filled with visitors. No problem; no one would give up their precious roost on such a busy day to say something about a lost horse. They were all waiting for a beer or a sandwich and were tired of walking.
Sir Periwinkle looked up towards the pasture which spanned the gentle hill behind the fence. It was then he spotted the grazing cows. How many were there? From what he could see, there were at least eight of them. That may pose a problem, taking cows underground. He had work to do. He would have to explain to them that it was finally time to raise their level of knowledge.

"The Great Revelations
The music flowing from the main room echoed through the cavern halls, making Cranny Nook alive with sound. To Henri it was reminiscent of tiny bells and flutes. Henri knocked on Urania's door. She took one last look in the tall mirror, along with a deep breath and opened it. Her tiny budgie perched on his new stand and feeling as a bird, sang once more.
Infinity in Spirit, was with her and would Speak to and Through many this night.
Her mother Eva, had been experiencing a wave of memories, and suddenly knew this was where she and Urania were meant to be. She stood next to her daughter, and would follow her and Henri to dinner.
The Great Spirit, Spoke to Urania. 'Take Henri's arm and I Will Lead you to the fountain. William is waiting.'
Henri cocked his head having heard a similar sentence in reference to Urania. He took her arm and said: 'Urania, who is that?'
A Magnificent Orb of vivid light appeared above them.
Urania became very still, and the group standing within the glimmering corridor gazed upward, unable to take their eyes from the manifestation. She began but stammered. 'You.... are, I know you...your Voice. '
'I AM!' The Orb Replied. This time He was heard not only within Urania and Henri, but also by Eva.
Urania said, 'This is my Spirit Guide. He often Speaks to me, and Through my bird Piccolo and Caruso. I have been able to hear Him since I can remember. Actually He Speaks Through everything.'
Then Urania directed her statement to The Light. 'This is the first time I have ever seen You!
Henri thought. 'Sir Perwinkle was speaking to me! So I wasn't imagining anything.'
At once, their minds became silent, as the Great Orb Moved downward and the only light now was from the lit torches on the stone walls.
Silence continued as they slowly moved through the underground labrynith towards the fountain. Suddenly, the silence was broken by the sound of a waterfall.
The Spirit Said. 'This is the source of all waters within this region, and if taken from this location it is at the purest state. The source of the spring is unknown to those above ground.'
Henri sought to place his hand within the cascading water, but was cautioned not to disrupt the flow or the purity.
The Spirit continued. 'No one residing in Cranny Nook is allowed to touch the water directly, but may use purified vessels to draw it from the fountain. Keep moving forward, soon you will see how this is drawn. You will have the opportunity to taste the purest water on this planet, when you are served dinner.'
The chamber which was the center of Cranny Nook seemed to have been transformed into a forest. The Spirit Twigs had taken their places near the fountain, and were waiting the arrival of their guests. These shimmering staffs, emitted light almost as bright as The Great Spirit. The fountain -itself- was the centerpiece of the chamber.
Candles lit several tables which were crescent shaped, and had been set with a bounty of fruits. The fountain flowed with sparkling water, which the Spirit Twigs captured in their ornate vessels. Other tables -which had been cut from stone- were draped in a unique cloth, with simple white place settings. Red wine filled rainbow glass goblets. The candlelight created a rainbow effect on the walls, while The fountain's flowing water made the reflections move. What most attracted the attention of Urania, were the hollowed gourds which had been filled with the freshest water from Cranny Nook's famous spring.
Folium stepped forward from the fountain, addressing Henri, Urania and Eva. 'This is certainly a momentous occasion. We have made many preparations for your comfort, and I trust you will forgive us for staying within our Spirit Twig suits to speak with you. When we appear in natural form -as you have witnessed from the Great Spirit- the Light can be blinding. Everyone, enjoy your meal. We eat not of our own fruits, but will partake of the water.'
He held up the gourd in a grand gesture, and toasted his guests. There was a rustle of leaves as the onlookers followed suit.Urania wasn't certain of what to say. She smiled. Henri blushed and looked down at his plate of fruit.Folium said. 'As soon as the rest of our group arrives, I will tell you why you are here. They are on their way now; I can feel their thoughts progressing as they travel through our tunnels.'Henri replied. 'The rest? There's more of you?''Henri we are many, as many as there be trees left in the forests. The world is supposed to function through our guidance, but we have been silenced by noise, pollution and man's need for never ending possessions. What you will come to understand is that this can not continue, but Infinity Has a Plan.'Urania wondered what she would be doing to help their cause. What could she possibly do that no one else had been able to accomplish? Yet, she saw her mother Eva, nod in affirmation, as if she knew what was about to happen. Then Urania's thoughts were interrupted by the animal noises in the outer hall. A hush fell over the crowd. Spruce and Timber, quickly took a post next to one of the oval entrances which led into the main courtyard. Sir Perwinkle, Lady Puss, and Caruso -both in orb form- led a large group of waddling ducks and swans into the room. Flying over head were green parrots, sparrows, crows, and pigeons. The room was alive with the sound of wings. The cows followed, bringing with them the pungent smell of the barn yard. A few squirrels scampered in and found their way to nuts which had been placed on the tables. The fish who swam in the pond above their chambers, jumped out of the water's surface, startling several tourist above ground. Folium gave the entourage a sign and the transformation was swift. The Great Orb of Light Surrounded them in warmth, Allowing for His creatures to hear Him Directly in their own language. Spirit Twigs stood beside them in affirmation. Sir Periwinkle began to shimmer, as if wearing a thousand diamond. The unicorn walked to where Henri was sitting, and waited behind him. Caruso went directly to Urania. At this moment Piccolo who had been freed from the cage by Williaim Rue, perched on one of his twigs. Sir Periwinkle spoke aloud, with the Thunderous Voice of Infinity. 'I Am Beautiful in Any Form. To Gently Accomplish My Plan, I Need Many of My Creations.Folium, I Will Explain Through you, being that you are heading this Mission on Earth, Through Me . To Assist you in understanding -Uraina and Henri- Spirit Twigs will be Animated by Angels for this Mission.' Everyone's eyes turned toward the podium, where Folium stood. At this moment, The Great Orb of Light Merged with The Spirit Twig who also held within the Spirit of one of Infinity's AngelsFolium now Spoke with the Voice of Infinity. This time, not telepathically, but more gentle, yet forceful, nevertheless.'Attention, everyone. Before you on the various tables, there is food for all species present, all of which were grown and harvested right here in Cranny Nook.'The group made sounds in agreement.Henri, had been wondering about all the fields and orchards tucked away among the Cypress Trees which towered over the landscape.'First, I Ask those who are human, to taste that which is in the small silver cups to your right.'Urania took one of the dark brown balls from her cup and placed it on her tongue. She exclaimed. 'They're chocolates! They are exquisite.'Henri and Eva did the same. Eva said: 'Notice the sparkles of light going through these chocolates. Urania. I make chocolate, and never have I seen or tasted anything like these.'
She continued: Where did you buy these? ' She asked Folium.A feeling of Euphoric Peace settled over them.
Folium answered. 'These were not purchased in the city, but also made here in Cranny Nook. The chocolates are part of The Plan.'
Eva smiled. Urania Received instant memory of what Infinity had been Sharing with her in her Dreams.
'The Plan?' Henri asked, regaining his composure.
Folium Answered with Infinity's Voice. 'The tiny, silver white bits are a secret ingredient. If one is within a hundred meters of another who has eaten the chocolates, they also Receive the Benefits.
Henri was still confused. 'But what are the Benefits?'
'Peace Through Love, Henri, it is as simple as that.'
Great Chocolate Fountain Henri was fascinated, but full of more questions. 'Peace? Love? From Chocolates? I'll admit, I love chocolate, and have on occasion, given a box or two as a gift, but never experienced this feeling from eating chocolate. What's in it?'
Folium enjoyed his question. He turned to Manny, Cranny Nook's herbalist, and said, 'Phlogiston!'
Urania laughed. She understood immediately and interjected. 'Phlogiston! It's the Unicorn's horn! It's mixed in the chocolates!'
'Well done, Urania. I Knew I Could count on you. Infinity is Pleased. Manny, as an Angel with great Knowledge, perhaps you would share with our guests how chocolate and Unicorn powder work together.'
'It's quite simple Urania. The chocolate binds with the Unicorn's Power which is carried within the horn. Unicorns house no Evil, and therefore, any Evil still present within the human who eats this, leaves their soul, allowing for Me to Be there within everyone. However, this is only part of the Plan. The next part will be more an undertaking of Heavenly Organization.'
Sir Periwinkle stood proud.
Folium said. 'At this point, there is much to be done in preparation, for these will be distributed throughout the world in a most unique fashion. Urania ... Henri, you are to be a part of this here on the coast of Belgium. You are not alone. Others as yourselves, are being prepared to handle the distribution world wide. Uni-Chocolate will be given cost free.'
Henri finally spoke. 'I got it!'
Urania said, 'Got what?'
'I understand why this is all happening. You can speak to animals and hear them, right?'
Urania nodded.
'Me too. I can speak to every one I work with, and understand them quite well.'
Folium added. 'This is precisely why you both are here, for you were Given the Gift, of hearing Infinity Through every avenue possible, and you embraced It.'
Urania's mother, Eva had been aware that this Gift had been Bestowed upon her daughter, from the time she was born. Through Dreams, she had been cautioned not to let her know, for she had to develop advanced senses of awareness her self. Yet, Eva had witnessed the Spiritual evolution of Urania's progress.
It had been much different for Henri. His parents, having gone to Heaven early in his young life, were only able to witness his upbringing through Infinity. His uncle had raised him to be a farmer like himself, but gave him much time to become one with the horses. When he arrived to his job at the stables of Chateau La Hulpe, he met Sir Periwinkle.
Henri thought carefully, and his face brightened in understanding. He spoke to the horse.
'Sir Periwinkle. All this time, I thought you were pulling my leg, telling me you were actually a Unicorn.'

"Tender Trees ArrivesThe next morning, sunlight greeted the vines of Tender Trees. They were alert at dawn, finding themselves listening to Crystal's cooing. She was ready to lead them on their long journey -that would rapidly cover many miles of farm land- leading to Chateau La Hulpe. Their movement was that of a Discovery Channel documentary that had been sped up to show the growth of a plant. Only this was live action reality. On the way they left pieces of themselves behind. It was the trail of a snake. Their journey would baffle science and farmers for months. New colonies, like Cranny Nook and Tender Trees would be formed, allowing for more coverage of positive thinking to bring forward Infinity's Plan. The new colonies would be above ground. No more hiding. They wanted to be closer to Heaven, for as Angels now on earth, their hosts the Twigs, needed Light. ♦♦♦
It was nearly four in the afternoon when Crystal flew high over the tree tops leading to the stables.Caruso was sleeping peacefully and dreaming with his friend, Her Royal Highness, The Duchess Snowy Powder. She let him know Tender Trees had arrived. 'Wake up you silly cat. Now that your Conscience is busy elsewhere, all you do is sleep. That's fine with me. It gives us time together, but your mistress needs your presence.'Lady Puss slept in a shard of sunlit earth, near the stables. Her sound sleep remained uninterrupted. After all, without the Spirit Inhabitants, they were just felines.Caruso found himself nearly covered in the vines of Tender Trees. Their forward movement stopped right at his paws. Crystal flew into the tree to watch the transition. Sparks flew and glittering leaves stood upright, gathering themselves around many differently shaped twigs and branches. Tender Tree's Spirit Twigs stood tall in the courtyard.Caruso arched his back and hissed. He disappeared into an open stall. Crystal flew along side Petiole who like Folium, had briefed them before they left France. Crystal landed on one of his branches and said, Cranny Nook is through this entrance.
Again, the magnificent door appeared in front of Sir Periwinkle's stall. The Spirit Twigs of Tender Trees entered.The cavernous walk ways leading to the depths of Cranny Nook were glowing with phosphorescent light. This was as the world they'd left behind at Giverney. At least, they'd feel at home here.Above ground, Chateau La Hulpe was beautiful and filled with many possibilities. Infinity's Presence was everywhere.
Folium was waiting for Tender Tree's to arrive. His shadow's movement floated across the wall in his private chambers, pacing to and fro. He needed a drink of water from the oval pot he always kept filled on the floor. When underground he couldn't go to the earth's surface for a refreshment from nature. His water was filled with special nutrients that kept him in fine condition. He stepped carefully into the sparkling liquid and sighed in relief. The water raced through his many roots and his wilted leaves opened to a new fullness.
Then, Receiving Confirmation within, from Infinity, he knew they were there.
Folium now with his own thoughts, entered the labyrinth of corridors, thinking of what he would say to Petiole. It was a momentous occasion. Many ideas occurred to him, many memories of past attempts at saving the world. This one could be their last chance. So many threats loomed on the surface.
When he saw before him the magnitude of Petiole's force, he suddenly realized that they really weren't very different from each other. Instincts that had been fine tuned over the centuries told him a grand speech wasn't necessary, only a warm welcome to his new immigrants. After all, they wished the same goal for their tired planet.
Petiole turned on his foot like roots to his host. Crystal the messenger dove sat on Petiole's limb. She felt good about everything, for the journey had gone well.
'Folium, I've heard you -Spiritually- on many a cold night, and now I meet you bark to bark. It's like greeting a brother, an old friend. Thank you for joining with us.'
Crystal left Petiole and landed on one of the nearby tables which had been used for the dinner the night before. She was hungry, but if she knew Folium, food would soon arrive.
Folium felt the love emanating from Petiole and found an instant like for him.
'You be so gracious after such a long journey. Let us offer you refreshments after your odyssey.'
Cranny Nook's Spirit Twigs were very curious. They stood around the perimeter of the room. Folium had spotted Timber and Spruce hiding in the shadows. Turning to them, he spoke.
'Why don't you both fetch the Wisterias and see if you can't find something to nourish these tired travelers. In the meantime, all of you please be potted, Infinity Wishes I brief you on last night's events.'
Petiole was grateful for finding Folium to be just as he'd envisioned.
Infinity quickly Shared Through Folium, everything about Urania's arrival, Speaking of Henri and the transition of all the Angelic Spirits, from animal to tree form as Planned. The idea about the Unicorn, powered chocolate intrigued Petiole and he nodded in agreement with all he heard.
The others who had traveled from Tender Trees stood very still, listening to Folium Speaking with Infinity's Voice. They were in awe of the power they felt in the great room. By bringing two powerful groups together, the telepathic energy doubled.
Infinity, then Allowed Folium to continue on his own.
'Urania and Henri are in their chambers at this very moment, and now that you have arrived, We will unveil the rest of Infinity's plan.

''INFINITY PART II
SOME WHERE OVER THERE
...While Urania and Henri waited in the depths of Cranny Nook to hear Infinity's Plan, an old tree spoke to his charges. They all lived far away across the ocean,
An Intelligent TreeDust covered what was left of the barren fields on the old farm. Outbuildings stood at crooked house angles. A single tree watched and waited to see what the humans were going to do. A light breeze sent dust into swirls along the ground, creating a cloud over the small pond. The fish were oblivious to everything going on above them and two frogs hopped from several rocks to the base of the old apple tree. From the distance, an old donkey named Peaces listened for the news from his friends.'I'm afraid it won't be much longer,' the tree said to the frogs. 'These are the nice humans, the ones who treat Us well. At least, we still have Our hosts, for now.'Frogs do not speak with great clarity, but they managed to croak their answer to him. It was a symphony of sound, one of deep Reverence. 'Ribit.'At that moment, the breeze became a quick gust of wind, and a single sapling fell from the tree into the water. As he sank to the bottom of the pond, he experienced many thoughts on his life. His name was Given to him by an unseen Master, and the strange Voice he heard in his mind called him Sap, which was just how he felt. The wind -it seemed- had snapped him right off his life's stem.Sap knew the old apple tree was dying, but his Friend didn't seem to mind the change. He'd often told him, 'Life goes on, little one, you'll see one day.'Often Sap had thought of what this meant. 'Is this what it means to have life go on? I suppose so. I don't like it too much under the water. I can't see anything. Where's the sun?' The tree saw the little sapling fall into the darkness and disappear under the surface. A fish had almost mistaken him for food. Apple trees of this breed speak slowly, and He spoke too late for Sap to hear what He said. 'Go with the wind little one; do not fight it. You will grow big and strong next to Me, when you have some help from Our friends.'His thoughts turned to being real, like the humans in the farm house. 'I wonder what it's like to have a soul?'
Time slowed for him, and Sap fell into a deep sleep. Before he knew it, he could hear the farm's vegetables speaking to him from far away. 'That's strange. They left here several days ago in a truck.'The vegetables were speaking -telepathically- to Sap from a warehouse. It was dark, except for the streaks of light coming through the ventilation slats making straight lines along the apex roof. In the enormous warehouse, there were many bins of vegetables lined up in parallel rows. They were ready for transport to a nearby food manufacturing plant in Maryland.Over in the corner, there were others destined to greet customers at the grocery store. If you were perceptive, you could actually hear small voices whispering. It was these voices that Sap heard in his dream.The Apple Tree, had brought them to comfort Sap. The Wise Tree had long been aware of the changes on the farm. The Tree knew, for he had been Told he was very special. The fields before him, had previously hosted a large tomato crop, and the year before that, cucumbers for the local pickle factory. Every year he watched over the cultivators driven by the humans who stripped the fields of their greenery. This year, the tomatoes tumbled into the waiting trucks to be hauled away. No one ever had torn him apart to get his apples. He thought of the orchard behind him and he listened carefully. That's not normal, he said to himself. Once in awhile a Voice also Comforted him, when he was frightened. 'Worry not Tree, there are Plans in the works.' No sounds came from behind him of the wind blowing through the other trees. He swore he heard an apple crying out for help from far away. He listened again. The frogs watched his confusion, and then spoke to him. This time they spoke clearly.'You are so fortunate to be here near the pond. It has saved your life. Ribit.''How is that?'
'They can't take you down as easily as your friends. Their tires would have gone under the water, and would have squashed all of us in the way. Your apples are still here. Perhaps, they can help us.' The small apples tried to speak up. Their tiny voices sounded no louder than a squeak of a tiny mouse. The Apple Tree continued, his loud voice rising above theirs.'What do you mean, take me down?'The frogs were quick to answer. 'Your friends left a few days ago. Didn't you hear all that noise?''I heard the loud machines, but I thought they were picking apples. It's that time of the year, you know. I felt vibrations from behind me, but no one said anything, or even complained. It's true, isn't it? The other apple trees are really gone.''It's true,' croaked the two frogs. 'We can hear them; the trees we mean. We saw you bend and sway to hear them, but they were gone. You do hear them now, don't you?''I suppose that is them. But they sound so far away, and so frightened. They are not speaking too clearly.'"The tree, who was very sad, had little tears left. He was old and tired. He had watched as the celery and rhubarb had been cut by a machine. The man who had been driving almost hit the farm house. The tall vegetables had grown along the edge of the human's house, in a little garden. They too were now speaking to him very loudly, almost shouting. In the warehouse, Celery and Rhubarb knew they were in trouble. Usually their kind ended up in the house of the humans. When they saw the large cultivator with the monstrous tires, they tried to run, but couldn't. At that moment, Celery knew he had to find help. Shouting with one's mind seemed strange, but perhaps it would work. The apples did it all the time. At first, their language had seemed strange, but they were able to understand what was being said. They had to find a way to reach the farm by telepathic means. Celery ruffled his leaves and concentrated as hard as he could. He called to the Tree by the pond. 'Mr. Tree, did you see them? They have all of us, and we see your apples in the bin near us. Please hurry, they will be taking them to the factory soon. Please, tell the humans to come get us. They can't possibly know that we were placed into the tomato truck by mistake. They are planning to take the tomatoes too. Help!'The Apple Tree tilted to his right, picking up Celery's words in the wind. 'I'm sorry, I can hardly make out what you are saying to me. You have to slow down to get your words right.'Celery Stick surveyed the situation, totally frustrated by the turn of events. Apple Tree had been his last hope. Again, he tried. 'You remember me. I'm Celery Stick. We are prisoners! Send the humans.' Rhubarb was wondering what all the fuss was about. After all, it had been the first time she had been out of the bright sunlight and was enjoying the cool air in the warehouse. 'What's the matter with you, Celery? Can't you see, we'll be safe? They only want apples and tomatoes to make pies and spaghetti sauce; no one wants Rhubarb pie anymore. Children won't eat their celery, and the adults don't have the teeth for it. We are safe. The poor Crab Apple tree thinks he's like the others. No one wants to eat Crab Apples either. We're all lucky.'The Tree heard Rhubarb speak, for she was more shrill and stronger than the Celery. 'A Crab Apple tree? That's what I am? I had no idea. I knew I was special, but thought I was like the others. No wonder I'm over here near the pond and exiled from the orchard.'The frogs had heard everything. 'You should thank the Master for that. He made you a Crab Apple Tree, and because of that you hold much Wisdom.'
Peaces the donkey had heard enough from Rhubarb. She thinks she knows everything. 'Stop making fun of my friend, for he has the only shade left in miles of here.' 'I meant no harm. It's the truth, the total truth. What's the problem with being an Crab Apple Tree anyway? No one likes my taste either.'
The frogs were in agreement when they said, ' Stop fighting among yourselves. We have to help the others before it's too late.'
They had no idea what it was like to be eaten, at least not yet. They had heard rumors from France about the large amount of frog legs consumed there, just like the snails. The frogs knew everything from abroad. They never realized that they'd heard it all through the grape vine, and the insects and the tiny birds. At least, they thought that's how it worked. There was an important Spirit named Folium, who sometimes spoke to them of his grand adventures. He who knew many frogs in the garden pond at Cranny Nook. What in world was this? Perhaps, they could get word to Folium of what was happening on the farm. Donkey heard their thoughts as did the Crab Apple Tree. 'Hmm,' they thought. Folium in Cranny Nook, received their group messages. He was disheartened to hear the Celery Stick and Rhubarb speaking from the warehouse. He knew it was also the way of things on many farms in Europe. It was time for him to bring the world to its senses, and he didn't disclose anything, except to the donkey. A special transmission went forth, over many miles of ocean to a tiny little donkey named Peaces. 'Peaces, remember the importance of your name. This is your mission, and now you will move forward with your humans to carry this message to the world. Before you go, be certain to get word to a tiny little Sap who is broadcasting from your pond.'Peaces was tied to a rope just outside the door of the old farmhouse. His lean-to was almost falling down and the humans had brought him closer to the house. They filled a small water trough to prepare him for travel. He knew nothing of going anywhere. Peaces had never traveled. He saw their pickup truck parked in front of the porch. There was an odd shaped contraption -with wheels- linked to the truck. Peaces sent a message to Folium that he didn't understand what Folium was saying. 'How do I do this? I keep hearing you saying the word Chocolate. This is a strange word. What is Chocolate?'At that moment, Sap thought to himself, 'Chocolate. I like that word.' He saw something strange and wonderful in his dream world. In France, and Belgium, Sap would have been called a young Spirit Host, and this was something Grand to be. He didn't know that one day, he also would grow and Host many Spirits. What Sap and the Crab Apple Tree were not aware of, was that the trees of the farm had begun their new lives. They too were awakening to their True Selves. The process of removing them from their earthly roots had not hurt them in the slightest, but had accelerated their knowledge and ability of telepathy. For now, their Spirits were free, having found their True Root in Heaven. The farm had where they had once grown, had been owned by two humans, Mariam and Septh. They knew what was happening and were saddened by the turn of events. Like Urania and Henri in Europe, their mission had been clear. Yet something they didn't understand had intervened. Trust in what they were supposed to do was difficult, because money had controlled everything on their meager farm. It hadn't been their fault. It was all they could do to hang on to Peaces and the old truck. They were now in the midst of packing their belongings. Their frustration showed. So much had happened. First, the trees seemed to be undergoing changes. The crops in the apple orchard were sparse this year, and that had been the final straw. First, the trees stopped talking to them, and then the farm taxes went through the roof. Mariam and Septh had no choice except to let the bank take over the property. If only they could have afforded to keep a few acres, the ones with the house and the orchard. Mariam cried when she saw the bulldozers take down her little apple orchard. What do they care, she'd told Septh. It was a place of peace for her, for she loved to read in the shade of the trees on a warm summer's day. That was when when she'd heard them speaking to her about many things. At first, she thought it was her imagination, but later, they became her best friends. She had no idea that they were going to be taken down by the conglomerate which purchased the farm. They were allowed only a little time to get everything out of the house. Peaces the donkey, would travel in their used horse van. They knew their mission, but they weren't leaving Peaces behind. He was their friend. ♦♦♦ Next...AMEN''

Mariam was relieved when the trees carefully explained to her what must be done. The apple orchard trees knew of the future, and didn't want to alarm her in their change of appearance, which must be according to the Master's Wishes.
They had shared with her the names of two more people -like Septh and Mariam- who were working on their Mission in Belgium. Mariam had no idea, how passing out free samples of this new chocolate, would save the world. She only knew the secret was in the power of the white powder, which when mixed with the coco, gained unique properties. When Mariam had told Septh, he thought perhaps, their money problems had taken her into a fantasy world. He was concerned, when she sat for hours speaking to the trees in the orchard. Finally, he heard them also.
'Well I'll be darned!' He'd said to her. 'I can't believe it, but they are talking.' After that, everything seemed to go wrong.
When the bank sealed their home, they stayed several days in a worn down hotel, out on Route 50. A friend at the bank had gotten them permission to gather their personal items, and of course, Peaces, their donkey.
Mariam's thoughts ran deep, and sometimes she imagined she could still hear the trees speaking to her.
She held onto Septh's shoulders. They gazed out the window of their kitchen. Septh looked at the old pump standing guard over the well. She could hardly hold him anymore. Her arms wouldn't reach around him. She was with child. It saddened her, because she had planned to raise their baby there on the farm, where her family had raised her.
'It's a sad old farm, with many happy memories, isn't it Septh?' 'Mariam, look to the future. The chocolate ride into the sunset.'
'Don't be silly, Septh. You don't have to cheer me up. Go get Peaces loaded into the van.'
She continued to watch out the window, thinking how much she loved him. He patted her stomach lightly, and walked on to the porch to survey the property, one last time.
Septh looked younger than his years, but the past several weeks had taken its toll. To become a father at such an advanced age seemed surreal. He tried not to think about it.
The truck's red paint was peeling off the fenders, and the name of their farm was no longer readable. It was the end of an era, but he tried to think of it as a new beginning. They were supposed to go places where the people congregated in masses, and hand out the small pieces of chocolates. Supposedly, there was some magic ingredient that would help the people to see the world through rose colored glasses. He didn't understand it, but Mariam had been told that the chocolate expedition was going on throughout the world. The ones chosen to bring the chocolates were going forward with faith in what they'd been told by the Spirit Twigs.
Well at least we aren't the only ones talking to trees,' he thought,' but where are we going to live? In the tent sitting in the truck?'
Septh knew Autumn was just around the corner, and they were getting a late start for traveling up and down the ocean coast. Would there still be enough people to give the Uni-Chocolate to? Then something occurred to him. 'Of course, Christmas on the Boardwalk! But, what about the baby?'
Mariam's thoughts were on the Uni-Chocolate. How she had received -in record time- the huge shipment from Belgium of the chocolate candy. They knew what they had to do. The trees had promised her, there would be plenty of time for them to do what was necessary before the birth of their baby. They also said, 'there will be no more problems with money. '
At first, Septh said, 'why not sell the chocolates. We are nearly broke.'
She reminded him that they would be well provided for in the future, just to have Faith. He knew he'd eventually have to find work somewhere, and he hadn't done anything except farming for a long time. He asked several friends at the local farm co-op, and they pointed him to several places. When he returned from this journey, he hoped to work selling John Deere Tractors. He worried about where they would live.
The old, Crab Apple Tree called to her. Mariam didn't catch it, for at that moment, Septh started the truck. Peaces was in the van with a good supply of hay and a travel trough filled with water.
Mariam took one last look, and locked the front door behind her. 'Heaven knows why, it's no longer my concern.'
She climbed into the truck next to Septh and settled in. He looked to her and smiled. 'Well, here we go.'
The frogs said their goodbyes, as did the Crab Apple Tree. Peaces brayed his message to them from the van.
'This is not my best day, my friends. This thing is dark. Why don't they let me ride with them? I can't see a thing from here. Hey! Can you hear me?'
After the truck disappeared from their view, the Tree took charge.
'Now, let's get down to business. Frogs, listen up. Go get our little friend Sap down there. He's about to shout himself silly. Be careful, he's just a baby in these new woods.'
'Have you gone mad? There's no woods here, only you. You'll see, in the future, or at least your children will tell tales of what we do here this day. The Mission has started. Our humans are on their way. And, by the way, the new owners are going to have fun with their new place. Just wait until they see what grows from their seeds! Now fetch Sap.'
The frogs dove down into the murky water to get Sap. He seemed quite happy to be stuck in the mud. He'd been dreaming of happier times, and about getting his new soul. He awakened abruptly, when one of the frogs grasped him gently in his mouth and rose to the surface of the pond. The other frog moved aside some loose dirt and gestured to his friend to place Sap into the hole.
'Wait, what are you doing,' said Sap.
The Crab Apple Tree spoke first: 'Don't worry little Sap, you are going to grow up big and strong. It's time for you to take over for me. Soon, I'll be casting down many little branches that will help you to grow your new colony of Spirit Twigs. You'll see for yourself how important you are to the future of everyone here in Coco Nuts.'
'Coco Nuts! What's that?'
The frogs were very confused by the change in the Tree's personality and according to their memories, that wasn't the name of the old farm.
'Everyone, Coco Nuts is now officially a sister colony to Cranny Nook in Belgium, and Tender Trees in France. Now, what do you think about that?'
For the first time in a great while, the two frogs and a tiny Sapling were speechless. However, the frogs were in confusion. Saplings didn't grow from sticks, did they?
'It must be magic,' they thought.

"An Uncanny Trip
Once Septh reached Route 50, he turned to Mariam and smiled. Instead of going straight into Easton, he turned left and entered the long line of traffic moving slowly towards Cambridge.
'I believe there's been a change in plan.'
'What?'
'I don't know why Mariam, but I just heard someone tell me to take the road to the ocean, and to stop at every shopping area and hotel along the way.'
'Are you serious? I thought were were supposed to go straight to the ocean.'
'Don't worry Mariam, I can hear them speaking, and I know this is right. Besides, it's a nice drive, and there are plenty of people waiting to sample these chocolates.'
Mariam asked. 'What if we run out?'
The voice then told him. 'You will not run out.'
He had no idea what that meant, but before he could answer, Mariam sighed, but relaxed. She had heard the same message. She'd learned that when she needed something for the mission, things just seemed to happen in the right direction. 'But what about the rest; the baby,' she thought. 'I must stop worrying.' The past several months had seemed like nightmare and she was ready to take on the world, now that losing their farm was behind her.
Septh was enjoying the scenery; what was left of it. When they were children, so much of the land was natural with only a billboard here and there, pointing tourists to the fun awaiting them at the beach. Now so much was filled with houses instead of farms. Their's had been one of many taken over. Chicken farms now dotted the landscape, and rumors had it that some would soon be vineyards for making wine. Old MacDonald's farm was no more.
The baby was hungry. Mariam felt the little tyke kick and roll over. It was the baby to come who had changed their first plan of traveling north towards Atlantic City and on into Canada.
Mariam wondered what the candy tasted like. Opening one of the sacks, she reached in and took one of the uniquely shaped chocolates. She also retrieved one for Septh.
'Here honey, it's time we found out what all the fuss is about.'
Mariam popped one in her mouth and its warmth was immediately apparent on her tongue. The look on Septh's face was of surprise.
'This stuff is not chocolate; it has another flavor!'
Septh asked her for another piece from the bag. She didn't deny him, because she already had her hand inside. It was like all her worries vanished with the first swallow.
Handing him another, she answered. 'I'm not sure what the unique flavor is. I've been told what's in this, and actually, I find it hard to believe it's made from the horn of a Unicorn. Do you believe that Septh?'
'If someone I didn't trust would have told me that you could talk to our Apple Trees, I'd have said they were nuts. Even when you sat for hours reading and talking to yourself, I was really worried, but I love you and trust you. You weren't talking to yourself, and now I can hear what you're hearing. It can't be possible for both of us to be nuts, can it? It must be true. But how, I can't tell you.'
The first order of business was to get gasoline. After,they would first stop at the new hotel built where the old hospital had stood on so many acres of beautiful land. This hotel had the view of one of the back rivers ambling through the Eastern Shore, and the investors saw to it that a grand golf course would be part of the new landscape.
'I can't believe this, Septh. I have to go to the bathroom, again! That's the price of pregnancy.'
Mariam was desperate for something cool to drink. The candy made her thirsty. The gas islands were crowded, and there were long lines of cars. This was typical along Route 50, especially if there was a holiday approaching. People would stay in the ocean resorts and spend their money on restaurant cooked turkeys. Mariam thought, 'this year, that may happen to us too.'
Even though Thanksgiving was a day away, it was definitely Indian Summer. Mariam told Septh she was going inside to enjoy the air conditioning, and to hand out uni-chocolates to the travel weary people. Septh wanted to stay with the truck and the van, because of Peaces.
Septh pumped the gas into the nearly empty tank while she went inside the Motor Mart. This was the first trip in a long time, and he never kept much in reserve. There used to be an old pump for gasoline on the farm, but that had long fallen into a state of rust. He was calm and relaxed. With each candy, their worries had become more vague and a feeling of happiness and euphoria came over them. Their farm had only been eighteen miles from the gas station, and already they had eaten over ten pieces of the stuff.
Everyone was singing, even Peaces. What a sound to mess with the ears;, an animal singing with a human, especially a donkey vocalizing. Mariam sang to herself inside the Motor Mart. Septh sang with Peaces. The wind saved them both. A nice ocean breeze blew inland, making it impossible for the other people pumping gas to hear any more than Septh's voice.
Mariam checked the crowd, and realized that they may be here for awhile. Everyone looked impatient. The lines were as long inside, as they were at the gasoline pumps. After washing her hands at the modern sinks that spewed water at the first sign of movement, Mariam brushed her long hair and went back to towards the snack area. She smiled and gave a uni- chocolate to everyone she met. The women were delighted to receive the chocolates.
One said, 'This must be a special promotion for the Candy Corner.' She had even asked for a second piece.
Another man with a small boy seemed perturbed, and said. 'What's it gonna cost me?'
The child made his needs known, and they both received a free uni-chocolate. It wasn't long before the man's feelings of mistrust changed. Mariam watched him gently lead the boy from the shop. They headed to the playground that was sitting under the shade trees by the entrance. The boy had forgotten about buying more gum from the vending machines, and climbed into the vat of colored balls. Mariam could see them through the store window both playing with one another; the man had become young again. She didn't mind waiting in the long line in front of the deli counter for her soda with ice. Everyone she met received the uni-chocolates.
While waiting, her mind wandered. She and Septh had eaten too many pieces of the Miracle chocolates on the way. Mariam knew she should feel sick, having memories of too much Easter chocolate when she was a child.
She patted her stomach. Mariam was a small women, and pregnancy showed on her tiny frame. Septh hadn't said too much about her condition. She knew he was nervous. They had no medical insurance. The money wasn't available to pay for it now. She was already eight month's pregnant and so far, the heat of this warm Autumn wasn't bothering her too much.
After eating the chocolates, the baby rolled over in her, letting Mariam know everything would be OK. It was as if the Unicorn dust turned the Uni-Chocolate in to the cure all for her worries. All they felt was happiness, and the need to spread the good word of this fabulous new delicacy. She lifted the sack of Uni-Chocolate, and for some reason, it was still heavy.
'I know I handed out most of it today. This doesn't make sense.'
♦♦♦ Mariam exited the Motor Mart, leaving it a much happier place than it had been when she had arrived. There was an air of expectation in the people as they emerged through the entrance doors to go back to their hot vehicles. Septh waited in the shade with donkey still in the van. He had opened the back door for Peaces to be able to receive some fresh air. When he saw Mariam, he asked.
'How are you feeling, OK?'
'I'm fine, it's cool inside. Go do what you have to, we have a long ride ahead of us. I'll stay with truck and make sure Peaces drinks his water.'
'He's had what he needs for now. Don't take him out, I don't know the rules around here.'
She didn't say anything to Septh about the uni-chocolate, but was wondering why the sack was still full. At least, she was starting to feel better. It wasn't long before Septh came back from the shop. Apparently the line to pay had eased. He was using cash. The credit cards were a thing of the past.
It wasn't far to the hotel gates, when Mariam rolled her truck window all the way down, hoping to hear trees speaking to her along the way. Before her orchard trees had been taken, she'd been warned that too many pesticides would cause their memories to be erased. She thought of the land that had been host to the old Hospital. It had been natural, a place for the patients to walk and feel the sunshine. She was worried that all the chemicals they'd put on the Golf Course would not only hurt the trees, but would also seep into the local water ways.
There were no voices in the wind. The trees here spoke nothing but the gentle music of the breeze. Mariam's favorite Crab Apple Tree had once told her many stories of what was happening in the world, and of how everything was changing.
Mariam and Septh - out of reverence for their land and crops - had done their farming the natural way. The yield had been slightly less, but healthy. The local people loved to buy their fruit and vegetables from the small stand that was at the end of their long, dirt lane. When all was going wrong, this Tree gave her hope, and told her not to cry.
'You'll drown my roots,' he'd kidded with her, and it made her smile in spite of their worries with the bank.
It was he who shared the plan from Belgium and about the Spirit Twigs.
'What a good story that would make,' she told him.
'It's not a story child, it's Truth. It's a Truth like no other, you'll see.'
When would she ever be able to find an untainted tree to speak to, ever? An unusual voice brought her back from her memories.
'You know you have a friend back here.'
'Did you say something to me, Septh?'
'No, nothing at all. What did you hear?' He had a wide grin on his face.
'Some one said there was a friend, or something like that.'
♦♦♦ 'I AM your friend; It's me ... Peaces.'
Septh was overcome with uncontrollable laughter, so much so, that he pulled the truck over to the side of the road, just before the entrance to the hotel.
'You can hear trees Mariam, and I can hear Peaces.'
'Yes, I heard him too. This is amazing. Is everything going to begin speaking to us?'
With that, she popped another Uni-Chocolate in her mouth.
When they reached the front gate, Septh had to fudge an excuse to the guard, that they were making a delivery and would not be staying long. The man in uniform saw the van and Peaces. He screwed up his face, creating a look of disgust. They were sure he would turn them away before they started. Septh shared, they were there to deliver special chocolates for a wedding reception going on in one of the main rooms.
'They're wedding favors, here ... try one.' Mariam placed the chocolate into the disgruntled guard's mouth. His attitude changed abruptly, and he waved them through the entrance with out another thought.
It was a short drive back to the parking lot next to the hotel. After parking, Mariam grabbed one of the sacks of Uni-Chocolate and disappeared through the large entrance. Septh wondered if any one would mind if he let Peaces out of the van for a short walk, while Mariam gave everyone in the lobby Uni-Chocolate.
Mariam found herself in one of the most lavish hotels in Maryland, and she didn't even have enough money to buy a bread stick from one of their waiters. Sad, but true.
Septh changed his mind about placing Peaces on the fine lawn near where he'd parked. It was as pristine as the nearby golf course.
'You forgot me back here. Peaces is thirsty.'
'How can you be thirsty, you just had an entire bucket of water.'
'You can talk to me, and now that I'm your friend, I can ride up front with you, right?'
Mariam came out of the hotel looking satisfied. She held up her bag, which was still full, and motioned to it with a smile. Septh interrupted his conversation with Peaces. She carefully placed the sack between them and re hooked her seat belt.
Peaces repeated his need to ride up front with them. They didn't hear him, but he was also receiving a strange message from Cranny Nook, in Europe.
'Hello, is anyone there? Folium here. We have news from Urania and Henri.'
'I'm Peaces. You are whom?'
'Oh my, I have my radio frequencies mixed up again. I thought you were the frogs. There is so much to explain. Can you get word to them?'
'I will try. I don't know how far away we are from our farm. I'm here with Mariam and Septh, and they won't let me ride up front with them.'
'Never mind about that, just get word to Coco Nuts, that all is going as planned. The Miracles have started now that there is Uni-chocolate everywhere in Europe. I just need to make certain that the new colony is ready to begin, as I discussed it with the amphibians.
'Amphi what? Now I know I'm confused. I'll tell them. Hey, wait. What's Coco Nuts?'
'A very special place for the future. It's going to be on your old farm. One day, I hope you will get to see it.'
'Wow, thank you Mr. Folium. Can I tell Septh too?'
'No Mister needed. Just Folium will be fine, and yes, by all means tell Septh.'
Peaces heard Folium's voice fading and he started his contact with the frogs.
'Froggies, oh little froggies?'
'Who is that? Croak, ribit, ribit, it sounds like Peaces.'
The frogs received Folium's message from Peaces and The Crab Apple Tree listened. He knew that soon, happiness would begin to spread over earth. After wishing Peaces well, he continued his lessons for the frogs.
Meanwhile, back in the truck, Mariam adjusted her position. The baby was becoming heavy to carry, even sitting down.
At the exit out of the golf resort, Septh said. 'The traffic seems to be getting thicker. It doesn't look too good from here. It's that darn turkey buffet that puts all these cars on the road. Now, tell me what happened in the the hotel.'

"A Ten Mile Backup
The going was slow. Cars crept along Route 50, and finally stopped in front of the old paddock which was originally the home of several buffalo.
'Do you remember that Septh? Do you remember when they had real buffalo there?'
'I do remember; I almost forgot.'
Peaces shouted from the back. 'Buffalo, where? I've never seen a buffalo.'
At that moment, car horns were sounding in their driver's impatience.
'Mariam, I wonder where they came from. This certainly isn't the old west. You know what, Peaces? I'll be you haven't seen a real horse either. You came to live with us, when they had already gone to another farm up north.'
Mariam Received an idea within her mind -far different from their plans- and she didn't understand where it came from, but there it was.
'Septh, let's go to Frontier Town!'
Peaces listened in interest, wondering what it meant.
'That's a great idea. Peaces can get out and stretch his legs and perhaps, see a horse. I'll bet they wouldn't mind. Besides, there may be people still there, even if they've closed for the season. I wonder if they do any holiday celebrations? Either way, you could hand out uni-chocolates to the after season caretakers.'
Mariam returned to her thoughts, hoping for something to get them out of all the traffic. She'd told Septh the Uni-Chocolate had been a great success at the hotel. The wedding guests were dancing for joy, by the time the Bride cut the cake. The chocolate was handed out to each one. She supposed this would be quite a memory for the bride and groom. Mariam had told her the chocolates were a gift from a special guest who had been there at the ceremony. The bride had begged her for the name, but Mariam told her it was to be kept a secret, and she'd know later, after her long, happy marriage.
'Septh, I'd love to see Frontier Town again. That's if this traffic lets up. I haven't been there in ages. When I was a child, the wild west shows were wonderful.'
'I was there as a kid too! I wonder if we were ever there at the same time? That would be something, wouldn't it? I loved to go in the old Ghost Mine. It made me dizzy. You know the one by Boot Hill?'
'I don't want to go in any old mine,' Peaces shouted. 'I like ghosts though.'
Septh said, 'How would you know what a ghost is? Don't worry your little donkey head over the old mine, you won't be allowed in there anyway.'
Finally, the cars started their forward movement ahead of them. Septh was thankful for that. He wondered if they'd find a place to stop off for dinner, after going to Frontier Town. It was getting late, and the sun would set in several hours.
It wasn't long before they saw the turnoff for the back road that led to the old wild west town and campground. The road seemed abandoned. Mariam supposed that everyone was headed to Ocean City. As usual, the entrance appeared out of nowhere. She felt the old excitement when they came upon wild west horse that marked the spot. She was happy to see cars parked in the front lot. At least it wasn't abandoned for the Autumn.
Septh continued back towards the goat pen and parked. He saw one of native Americans, dressed in a red, flannel shirt, trying to fix something on the stockade gate.
'Wait here, Mariam. You too Peaces; I want to see if they mind us letting you rest and graze awhile.'
He got out of the pickup and walked towards the man who seemed to be fighting with the gate.
'How,' Septh said, remembering how it felt to play cowboys and Indians as a child. The man looked up and smiled.
'No need for formalities, I'm out of costume. Can I help you with something?'
Septh looked embarrassed, realizing he'd done the typical stereotyping. The man wiped his hands on his jeans and waited for his reply.
'Yes, actually, I have a donkey out in the van and my wife is pregnant. We just need a place to rest for awhile. There's traffic up and down route 50 and all the hotels are full along the way, what's left of them.'
'You don't want to stay in most of those places. I'm going to be here with my family through Christmas. We take care of the place, during the Winter, when there aren't any Ceremonial Dance Competitions, or family needs pressing us to travel. We have little ones and are becoming set in our ways. How long did you want to stay?'
'Oh, not long. Just wanna graze my donkey and my wife. You know how pregnant women are.'
He laughed. 'My name's Jo. And you are?'
He reached out his hand. 'Name's Septh. My wife is Mariam.'
Jo opened the stockade gate to reveal an empty OK Corral. To Septh, it seemed strange not to see people crowded along the wooden walk, that lined the sandy street leading up to the Longhorn Saloon.
'Go get your lady and donkey; I want to introduce you to my sister. She'll show you where to tie him up.'
'I'll go get them. I'll be right back.'
'Why not pull your truck and van in here. That way, I can lock the front gate.'
Septh whistled while walking. The goat pen was now empty. There were still a few morsels scattered in the bottom of the old gum machines that doubled as a bin for cracked corn. Amazing, it was still twenty five cents for a hand full. At least inflation didn't take one's pleasure away from feeding the animals.
Mariam was anxious to hear what had happened. 'What did he say? Can we let Peaces out for awhile?'
'Better than that, honey. We are to pull the truck inside the gate. His sister will show us where to to put him.'
The start of the engine broke the silence of the trees. Mariam had been listening for anything; the sound of an earthly voice. Still nothing. It concerned her. Mariam knew that this had been a place full of marshland and woods. Maybe the trees only spoke on the farm.
As they pulled through the front gate, it was apparent that things had changed. To Mariam, nothing looked the same. The swamp pond, where they used to dunk the town drunk -as part of the show- seemed less mysterious. The woods behind it leading to the Indian Village, were bare of leaves. Was it her imagination?
'It could just be the trees that have lost their leaves for winter,' she thought. Mariam wasn't used to seeing Frontier Town in the Autumn.
The rest of the place looked pretty much the same. This allowed Mariam to relax, like coming home to visit an old friend.
Septh followed Jo with his pickup truck. They stopped just outside the paddock. It was marked by a crooked wooden fence surrounding the the horse barn.
'Park here, Septh. You won't be in the way. Do you have food with you for Peaces?'
'Only what we could bring with us. We just lost our farm.'
'That's happened to many of our friends. Sometimes it seems like we are barely hanging on here. The rumor is, all the smaller parks will be closing soon, if they don't lay off the tax hikes. Don't worry though, we've plenty of hay and oats. I'll get you a bucket full out of the barn. Choose your hitching post.'
'Thank you. It's been a long time since I met anyone willing to help.'
Mariam smiled and said. 'Introduce me to your new friend, Septh.'
'Mariam, this is Jo.' She held her hand out in friendship.
'Nice you meet you.' They said at the same time, and this broke the ice.
Jo added. 'May's out back painting. She'll be delighted to have another woman to talk to.'
'Um, I need to use the bathroom,' she said while heading for the toilets next to the Longhorn Saloon.
'That one is not in service; I'll have May show you to our mobile home. It's warmer in there anyway.'
Septh managed to get Peaces to be quiet long enough to back him out of the Van. He didn't know it, but Jo understood every word Peaces had mumbled.
Jo wanted to have a little fun with Septh. He felt an instant bond with him. 'Peaces, is quite an ornery one, isn't he?'
'I'm not like that. I am the smartest donkey who ever lived!'
Before Septh could answer, Jo did.
'If you are such a smart hoofer, I'm curious what you'll do with our little Prairie Blossom?'
Septh: 'You understood him?' Peaces: 'You understood me?'
'I've been expecting the three of you for some time.'
If you had been there, you'd have seen a man and a donkey with their mouths wide open.
Jo turned to Mariam. 'Now, let me taste that fine Uni-Chocolate that my ponies told me about.'
She looked at Septh, and Peaces let out a loud bray. 'I can't believe it, you are like us?'
'I guess you could say that we have waited a long time for this to happen. There are many who wish to see changes in the world. It just seems like there's no one who cares. It's strange how a few can cause so much trouble for all of us.'
She took her sack from the truck and held it out for Jo. After peering in to the sack, Jo placed a piece of the candy in his mouth and, let the chocolate flavor travel through his senses.
'Um, this is good. I believe we have a winner here.'
'Excuse me, Jo, but I believe you don't need the Uni-Chocolate. You have been very kind to us already.'
Mariam put the sack back in the truck, and grabbed her purse, slinging it over her shoulder.
Jo looked down, slightly embarrassed, but was quick to change the subject. 'Let's go find May. It's starting to chill. I believe winter could be early this year. We'll stop on the way to get food for Peaces.'
♦♦♦ The old red barn was freshly painted. All the animals had been bedded down for the night in fresh straw. It was a cozy place, in spite of the cold. Jo had hold of the rope that held Peaces and was gently pulling him along.
'I know I said to tie him outside, but we've plenty of room in the barn. If you don't mind, I believe he'd be more comfortable in there.'
'You bet I'll like that, but I would like to meet May too!'
Jo laughed, 'You'd like Prairie Blossom much better than May.'
He opened the door to the smaller stall which was next to her's, and through the wooden slats, Peaces was able to catch a glimpse of Prairie Blossom. She was tiny, almost his size, and painted in brown spots over creamy white. Jo patted him on the rump.
'Eat hearty, my new friend. Prairie, make him feel at home.'
Mariam was impressed with the cleanliness of the barn. Everyone seemed to be well taken care of. Septh, thanked Jo for his hospitality.
'Jo, what a grand barn you have here for the horses and ponies. I've never actually seen it up close. Peaces, you are a lucky Donkey.'
Peaces felt very lucky. He thought Prairie was beautiful. He'd never seen anything quite like her.
'I'll be content here, but don't forget me. Hey, pretty lady. What you say we get to know one another over a bucket of oats.'
She tossed her head, so that her long mane would swing in the air and turned her back to him. 'Strange horse,' she mumbled under her breath.
Jo caught her being less than cordial, and leaned over the door to her stall.
'Now, was that nice of you? Is that anyway to greet a guest? For your information, this is Peaces, and he is not a horse.'
Before she could answer, Jo, Mariam and Septh left the barn, just as the sun was dipping into the horizon behind the trees. They left the two animals to get to know one another, without human interference.
'What are you?'
His answer was obviously meant to impress.

"May's Place
Jo knocked on May's door. She'd been busy folding her costumes and making certain they were in good condition for winter storage. There were a few feathers lying on the dresser, and she had been about to wrap them in tissue paper, when she heard the sound.
'Just a minute, I'm coming.'
After opening the door. May was surprised to see Jo with Mariam and Septh. He quickly explained what had happened and introduced them. May almost said, you're late! but held her tongue. She'd thought they were supposed to arrive the day before. At least she had the back bed room clean and ready for their arrival. It had taken her most of the day prior, and May thanked God for them arriving off schedule.
'Come right in. Septh, please ... sit down. Mariam, I see why you need to use the facilities. It's right back there, first door on the left. Please excuse the mess. We've had a busy season and this is the first chance I've had to do anything in the caravan.'
'May, if you don't mind, they are going to stay with us until their donkey has had time to feed. They got caught in Route 50 traffic, and need a rest.'
Jo winked at May, but didn't let Septh see him do so.
'No problem, there's food enough for you both to stay for dinner. It's dark now and Ocean City is pretty much dead this time of the year, except for the hotels open for the Thanksgiving guests. Did you have a reservation anywhere?'
Septh was overwhelmed by their hospitality and genuine extension of friendship.
'No, we were hoping to find a campground still open for the Autumn months. Not many want Peaces, our donkey. Most of the camping areas don't even allow dogs.'
Jo nodded, 'I know what you mean. The campground here isn't open after the park closes. We are here and now, so are you.'
Mariam came out of the bathroom and smiled at everyone. 'Sorry, I'm moving a bit slow these days. I'm not used to much travel and my back is hurting.'
May said. 'Please, sit here in the comfortable chair while I get some soup warming. Jo, you staying too?'
'No, the wife is waiting with the kids for me to come home for supper. I'll check back on you, after we finish. We have much to talk about, don't we Septh?'
♦♦♦
Mariam shot a curious glance in Jo's direction. 'Now what did he mean by that?'
Jo exited the caravan and cool gust of wind sent a chill into the room. She shivered.
'Septh, can you get my sweater out of the truck?'
'No need, take one of mine off the door,' May said.
Mariam chose the brown one and it fit perfectly, except for covering the baby. It seemed the baby rebelled against the cold. He kicked, and she felt her stomach. 'Ooo, that was a strong one.'
May noted. 'You must be due soon.'
'Not long. The due date is several weeks from now.'
Septh interjected. 'I see you ladies also have many things to talk about. I'll go check on Peaces.'
'Don't be long. The soup's almost ready and I'm grilling some burgers.'
Septh answered. 'May, it's so nice of you to treat us as family; you hardly know us.'
May continued. 'Look at Mariam closely. Do you not see it? We are all family, mixed into so many tribes. The world has separated us. Septh, I hear you have brought desert. Bring the bag in with you, from the truck.'
'You mean the Uni-Chocolates!'
Something was afoot, but he relaxed and went with it. It made him feel comfort. How she and Jo knew about the Uni-chocolate, he didn't know. And Jo could hear and understand Peaces!
With these thoughts, Septh left the caravan leaving the two ladies time for female talk.
He thought of Mariam. He was worried about the baby. Septh Prayed for something to turn up, before the baby came. So far, there was little hope. The John Deere job was only a glimmer of a promise. Memories of the farm gave him little solace. He was at least happy Jo and May didn't live in the tepee out back at the Indian Village. A warm supper would give him time to think. He had expected to be spending the evening trying to set up a tent in an unknown campsite in Ocean City.
♦♦♦
Peaces and Prairie Blossom heard Septh approaching the barn.
'Someone's coming,' Prairie said.
Peaces answered, 'I think it's Septh. I know his footsteps.'
Peaces was glad to hear a friend. He was a bit concerned that Septh had abandoned him. He had a message from Folium to share with him. 'Now,' he thought, 'was a good a time as any.'
Septh entered the barn and looked for the light switch. He found it on the side by the feed buckets hanging on the wall.
'Hey, Septh. You've not forgotten your old friend Peaces. I'm suffering out here. It's too cold.'
'You are not that cold. What if we'd had to tie you up out side the camper? What if you had to spend the night in the van. You are being treated like one of the show ponies. Be grateful.'
Peaces turned to Prairie Blossom and asked her who she was. 'Prairie, are you a show pony?'
''I am a star. Jo uses me to show the people what a truly Spiritual Indian pony looks like.'
'No wonder you are so beautiful,' said Peaces. He was doing his best to earn brownie points.
Septh laughed, when he realized he could hear their conversation. 'I came to check on you to see if you were comfortable. We are staying here for awhile with Jo, and will be sharing dinner with his sister May. I'll come back later to talk to you.'
'Wait, I have a message for you and Mariam. It's from someone all the way in Belgium.'
'Belgium? How can you have a message from there? Do you have a cell phone tucked away in your bucket of oats?'
'I don't know, they call it telepathic radio. I just receive the voices. I think he's very important to your mission. Mariam will understand.'
'OK, go ahead. What did he say?'
Peaces was so excited, he literally brayed the message to Jo.
'Your farm is about to become a place called Coco Nuts and it will be famous, and trees will talk and walk and everything!'
'Are you serious? I think you've gotten into the wrong hay!'
'No, I'm telling you the Truth. It's something to do with Amphi thingies and crab apples and stuff. Wait a minute, I got it! Miracles have started. Uni-Chocolate is going everywhere. Europe is full of chocolate. The frogs are waiting for you in Coco Nuts.'
'What frogs? You aren't making sense.'
'The ones in your pond, silly.'
'Oh, the pond. I guess I'll understand all of this later. Heaven knows what I should tell Mariam.'
Prairie was not confused. She was impressed by Peaces, and that he knew about the telepathic radio. He was her new idol. So much more than the rodeo horse she used to know.
Prairie spoke directly to Septh.
'Don't worry, Mr. Septh. Peaces has it mostly right. I'll help you understand. Here's the gist of it. Your farm will be called Coco Nuts. It's another colony like Cranny Nook and Tender Trees. They are all part of the telepathic radio. Not easy for a human to understand. To be part of these colonies means Heaven has smiled upon you and your family. The Great Spirit in the sky said so. You'll see...'
'Thank you Prairie, but what is Cranny Nook and Tender Trees? I have to ask Mariam more, to understand all of this. I'll speak to you both later.'
With that, Septh left them in the darkness of the barn, and headed back to the warm lights of the caravan in the distance.

"An Invitation
While Septh had been in the barn, Mariam had shared so much with May. It didn't take long for her to discover that Jo and May had been expecting them.
'I can't believe it, you know about Uni-Chocolate. This is becoming surreal. Trees talking. Animals communicating with us. What's happening here? I'm starting to think it's all a dream, or perhaps a hormone imbalance from this pregnancy. I'm too old to be having a child at my age.'
'You aren't that old. My mother had me when she was in her forties. I turned out alright. I can still dance, even if my bones ache from stretching my muscles all those years. To pick up a feather isn't as easy as it used to be.'
'I remember, when we were both younger. You didn't know I was watching, but I've seen you do the dance where you pick up the feathers. It's amazing how you don't fall. Sitting on the log surrounding your show arena was one of my favorite memories. Do you still do the dance for the people?'
'The younger ones do this now. In the Native American Village, we like to watch them carry on the ways of the ancestors. You should know that this dance celebrates our Creator. Jo's daughter is getting pretty good at it.'
'I Think our Creator has something to do with everything that is happening.'
Before May could reply, Septh knocked on the door and opened it. 'Am I late?'
'No, every thing's about ready. Grab seat at the table. We aren't fancy here, any place will do.'
Mariam and Septh sat opposite her as she placed a soy burger and salad on their plates.
'It's not much, but tomorrow will be a grand feast. I expect you to stay for this. The family will be gathering in the old saloon. It's got enough room to seat all of us. This time of the year we use a heater that blows hot air like a cannon. It's quite cozy. I can assure you of some fine turkey and friendship, and if you stay, Mariam, I may show you how to do the feather dance.'
'Now, that would be something to see. A lady so pregnant that she can't tie her shoes, bending over to pick up a tiny feather in her teeth.'
It was a funny thinking of Mariam dancing in the Longhorn Saloon like the Can Can girls. Septh fought himself to keep from laughing.
The Longhorn had an old wooden stage up front, where girls hoping for a chance at Broadway in New York, practiced their talents as Can Can dancers in the little wild-west tourist town. Septh, pictured the old Frontier Town dance show, where the town drunk would come in the saloon in the middle of their dance and cause trouble. Eventually a guest would be accused of pinching a dancer and sentenced to hang out in the town square. What a fun addition Mariam's feather dance would make.
♦♦♦
"Thanksgiving Day in Frontier Town
Frontier Town was gifted with a light dusting of snow during the night. May looked out the frost covered window at the wintry scene. It wasn't often she got to see snow covering the paddock and mill near the pond. Even the dirty water had a gleam of white making the stones seem like tiny icebergs.
She started the coffee and lightly nudged Septh, who had been snoring on the sofa. She had heard Mariam stir several times during the night to use the bathroom. After setting the table for a light breakfast, she pulled her camera off the peg along with her brown suede jacket. She turned her face to the gray sky allowing the snow flakes to meet her nose. Jo met her coming from the barn.
Septh heard the door shut and jumped up, not realizing where he was. He heard the coffee brewing and enjoyed the aroma. The bathroom beaconed. First, he woke Mariam by tapping on her door.
When Mariam awakened, remembering where she was, a sadness came over her. At the farm the morning was usually filled with many activities; feeding the horses, chickens, and of course, Peaces. After that, she'd scatter some seed for the outdoor birds that nested in the apple orchard. That was all in the past now, and being in a strange bed, in a place she considered a vacation stopover, was dreamlike. She slipped on her stretch pants, and felt her baby through the material.
'You'd better wait', she said, and put May's sweater over her man sized shirt.
Septh came out of the bathroom and almost walked into her in the narrow hall. 'Morning honey, sleep well?' He asked.
'Not bad, considering.' She patted her stomach and felt the baby kick. 'Junior must be awake.'
They looked around the kitchen. 'Wonder where May is?'
'Dunno', Septh said. 'Probably went outside.' He looked out the kitchen window and pressed his nose to the glass. Seeing May outside taking photographs, made him smile. 'There she is, and I believe we have our first snowfall.'
'Really, snow?' Mariam squeezed in next to him and peered out. 'It's beautiful.'
It lightened her mood, and made her feel at home. Frontier Town -in the snow- was something to see in the early morning light. The night spots were still lit, creating a magic glow over the park. Watching May was like seeing pantomime. Mariam saw her say something to Jo. After that, they both headed towards the caravan.
Mariam and Septh sat at the kitchen table, waiting for their hosts.
The snow blew in, causing a white dust swirl on the floor near the entrance. Their faces glowed, reddened from the chill. May took a towel and gently wiped her camera. 'I think I got some good shots,' she said.
'Looks like the coffee is ready. What will you be having for breakfast?' She asked.
"Mariam and I don't eat much in the mornings. Usually just toast and coffee."
'Come now Septh, I can do better than that.' May wanted to be the perfect hostess.
♦♦♦ In the meantime, from within the barn, Peaces and Prairie were talking with two frogs back at the farm, which was now known as Coco Nuts. The telepathic radio was in full swing. They were going to focus on a three way connection between The Frontier, Coco Nuts, and Cranny Nook.
In Europe -underground in Cranny Nook- Folium and Petiole stood next to Urania and Henri. They were waiting patiently for news from Infinity. Behind them, every Spirit Twig from Cranny Nook intently listened. This was a big moment in history; a connection that hadn't been used in two thousand years.
The Unique Spirit behind Coco Nuts was within the amazing, Crab Apple Tree. He'd never been called by: name, because Infinity Had Not Shared His True Identity with anyone, for His Name Was, even before Heaven's Creation. No one had ever questioned who He was. He watched over everything for great distances; further than any animal or human could imagine. To the animals, He was a mystery, and He could be in any tree He chose. It was important for Him to be in the Tree for this moment in time. The last time telepathic radio had been used on earth, He'd been in the olive trees, and before that, in the mountains. The idea for Spirit Twigs had developed in His Kingdom, and it seemed a good idea among all involved to place Himself as smaller Powerful Spirits in simple, but most intricate parts of a tree. Through the trunk would come the Source of Life, and the branches would become as the trunk, with some of the Monumental Intelligence, and ability to work together with the help of Himself. He was Ready.

"Let The Feast Begin
On the human side of things, the old saloon in Frontier Town was busy with activities. People were everywhere. Some carried huge metal trays of potatoes and vegetables to the long picnic styled tables. The atmosphere was alive with anticipation, and the aromas filled the air to tempt the taste buds.
Mariam and Septh were made to feel right at home. She looked at the women with a longing, feeling the invisible string that always pulled her in the direction of her family roots. Mariam thought how much she looked like them. They were traditional in the sense of the Native Americans, many still with their long raven hair and moccasin boots of suede. They wore beautiful, hand made, beaded jewelry. Mariam had many clothes that matched this style. Her broken heritage didn't stop her from embracing her Cherokee background. Septh would often kid her when she braided her hair and added the leather straps at the top of each braid. She wished today that she had done this. Her packed suitcases, were a cavalcade of every whim she'd gone through at the clothing stores over the last ten years. Now, her weight from the pregnancy didn't allow for too many choices.
These people made her feel a pang of regret, for she knew little of her own people. Where had they all come from? The night before, she'd only seen Jo and May. She knew Jo had a wife and children back at the caravan. She hadn't heard any cars arriving during the night, and now the street -usually filled with tourists- was lined with various vehicles from over three states. ' They must have traveled far to be here so early, and in a unexpected snow fall too,' she thought.
The children played as the adults worked. A small group practiced dancing moves on the stage at the front of the room. This time, they replaced the Can Can dancers with another tradition.
May, jumped up on to stage with them and said, 'No, do it this way.' She stretched her left leg out as far as she could and literally had her body parallel with the floor. When May had been their age, Mariam has seen her do this dance many times. May was now a woman and she wanted to show the children how to gently pick up the tiny feather in their mouths, without falling. They said in unison, 'Ah.'
She did it without effort. They were always trying to dance as well as she. May then jumped down from the stage and rushed to the kitchen to help with turkey preparations.
Septh came from the kitchen carrying shucked corn and asked, 'Where do you want this.' Jo had a steam table set up in front of the bar, where the buffet usually was for the tourists. It had been transformed into a grand steaming table for their feast. No hot dogs or hamburgers, this time. Mariam helped by setting the table with plastic plates, forks and knives. A tiny version of May followed her with the napkins. Her name was Amy.
Suddenly, Mariam felt a dull ache in her stomach and she grasped the side of the table, standing still for a moment. 'Not now,' she whispered. She continued her path, up and down the aisle. Again the pain hit and she sat down.
She said to the child named Amy. 'Can you go get Septh?'
Amy questioned. 'Septh?'
Mariam saw him across the room and she pointed to him, for Amy. 'See that man with the corn? That's Septh.'
Amy ran to Septh and tugged on his shirt. 'Mr.? That lady wants to see you.'
Septh turned in Mariam's direction noticing the color had drained from her face. Little beads of sweat had broken out from her skin along her forehead. He left the corn in the warmer and followed Amy to where she sat.
'I'm not feeling too good. I think I may be going into labor.'
'Are you sure?'
'The little one seems active.'
'Wait, let me get May. Don't move.'
Septh headed for the kitchen, leaving little Amy to watch over Mariam.
'Lady, are you going to have a baby?'
'I am.' She said touching the pain.
In the kitchen, Septh saw May with several other ladies working on slicing the turkeys. 'May? I need to speak to you for a moment.'
She wiped her hands on her apron. 'Sure, what do you need?'
'It's Mariam. I know the baby isn't due for several weeks, but I believe all this stress may bring him into the world a bit early.'
May didn't even look concerned, but she could see Septh was going to faint, if she didn't sit him down. Taking hold of a folding chair leaning against the wall, she gave it to Septh.
'Here sit, I'll be right back.'
May found Mariam clutching at her stomach. She down next to her. 'Well, you seem to be right on time.'
'Huh? I'm two weeks early.'
'No sweetie, we've been preparing for this for some time.'
Jo had followed May from the kitchen and he sat down on Mariam's other side to give her reassurance.
'You will be fine here with us. I will save you some turkey, if you find you aren't too hungry right now. We have many mid wives in our family and someone I know you'll be interested in meeting, but of course, if you are dead set on a hospital, we can call for help right now. Our reception for cell phones is good here, so don't worry.'
'How do you know all of this? I'm....' Another contraction was felt and she stopped speaking.
A gust of cold wind came in through the old saloon doors, completely taking the warmth away from the gasoline, fueled heaters blowing throughout the large room. The people looked up in surprise to see Peaces the donkey, and Prairie Flower standing there as if they'd been invited.
♦♦♦ 'I wonder how they got in here?' Said Jo, to May. Then, he remembered the tricks that Prairie used to perform in the Rodeo. She was a favorite of the crowd. She could pick up a hat with her teeth as well as May could pick up a feather.
'I'll bet she opened her stall. But how did Peaces get out? Could she have freed him too?'
The ladies didn't get a chance to answer, because a pony spoke first.
'Hey everybody, we are here. Where's the grub? And don't you be giving us any cooked corn!'
Prairie was proud of herself, and she had brought news from Coco Nuts. She continued. 'Humans, listen up. You are about to meet a new friend.'
Peaces couldn't contain himself. 'We know, what's happening here. Don't you see? She's going to have a foal. But first you have to feed us.'
The crowd laughed, and even through Mariam was feeling pressure from contractions, she laughed too. 'I heard them! I must be going crazy. First the trees and now animals.!' Then she thought, 'A foal?'
Jo motioned to the man who had been watching everything with great interest. He stood tall and proud against the wall near the kitchen entrance. Everyone's eyes turned to him as he approached May. Septh had gotten himself together, and followed him from the kitchen to his wife.
Jo introduced him. 'Mariam, Septh, I want you to meet a great Medicine Man.'
Septh said, 'A Medicine Man, are you serious? I think at this point we may want to call a real doctor.'
Jo answered. 'I see you think we are still primitive. This is Dr. Haman.'
The Doctor reached out his strong hand, and shook Septh's hand, by first grasping and pulling it in his direction. Septh looked embarrassed, but smiled.
Doctor Haman continued. 'I am ready to help you Mariam, if you'll trust me. I can assure you that when your baby comes, he won't be the first one I've ever delivered. Here's my card.'
Septh read it and showed it to Mariham.
'You see, I sometimes visit family here, but usually I don't practice medicine on the reservation, especially not in a cowpoke's saloon. Just a joke. I keep regular hours at Peninsula Regional Medical Center.'
Mariam relaxed as did her contractions, at least for the moment.
'Don't worry, I'm here. I'll check you over, and then, if my experience tells me correctly, we have some hours left to wait.'
May added. 'We have a room ready for you Mariam. It's more comfortable for you and the baby, than in my little caravan. Would you like to see it?'
'I don't understand. How can you have all of this ready?'
'One day, when this has come to be, we will share everything with you. You have half of the story yourself. We hold the rest. I can sense your confusion. Please don't be scared.'
♦♦♦
Septh asked? 'What about the Uni-chocolate?'
'Leave everything in the hands of The Creator. You and your family have a room here for as long as you need it. The mission will continue.'
'But you only just met us.'
Peaces, who could not hold his tongue, spoke. 'If I have to, I'll take your chocolates all over this peninsula and to your crazy boardwalk.'
Jo was quick to answer. 'No need, little donkey. We have a lot of work to do in Ocean City, for the Christmas Festival. That's the best time to hand out Uni-Chocolate. If you want to help, you are welcome to carry it in the sacks. In fact, you and Prairie can both help.'
Peaces and Prairie pressed against Jo which was their way of showing love.
'Now, this way, Mariam.'
May and Doctor Haman led her to a little room that had been prepared. Mariam was surprised to see there was a comfortable bed, with fresh white sheets. There was even a machine for monitoring blood pressure and heart rate. A smaller plastic crib was over by the window, and also had a white sheet and blankets draped over it. Other instruments were hidden on a tray covered in an aqua blue drape. Mariam couldn't say anything, she was so overwhelmed.
After her examination, Dr. Haman claimed her to be in labor, but advised her all was progressing normally, and said. 'I'm sorry honey, but you shouldn't eat too much right now.'
'But it smells so wonderful'
'I promise; when you are better, we will give you the best feast ever. For now, only a few ice chips. When did you last eat?'
'This morning.'
'I hope it wasn't some of May's famous pan cakes!'
'No, just toast.'
'Good then. If you are more comfortable here, we'll send in visitors from time to time.'
'Yes, thank you.' Another contraction came and went, causing her to hold her breath.
Doctor Haman handed her a watch that he retrieved from his pocket.
'Time these, I want to know when they are three minutes apart. Here is the remote to the TV over there. On the bed stand there are magazines.'
May offered,'I want to stay with you, if it's OK. I don't mind waiting to eat either. '
'You can't do that, your family is here and everything.'
'I need to do this, it's something I've looked forward to.'
The Doctor left, but not before telling Mariam to relax. He then shared everything with Jo and Septh.
Jo said. 'This will be another Thanksgiving to remember.' Septh elected to spend some time with Mariam, but not until she convinced him he must eat first.
Four hours later, in a small back room of the Frontier Town Saloon, he was born.
The conversation among the dinner guests was on many subjects, and the women wrote down everything for posterity. They spoke together of what to write about the Spirit Twigs and the animals who had foretold of this grand event. They still had so much to do for the future of the new world, but they also understood that they were to do it in the way of their ancestors, with patience and respect for nature. And so it was documented.

Epilogue - Coco Nuts - The Beginning What has happened in Coco Nuts? This is not in the news, but received from a private source, and I've been asked only to reveal it to you.
After the Winter, it came to pass that an old farm was reborn in the way of the past, to be a provider to the humans through their hard work and respect for the land. The Native Americans who helped to rebuild the old barn and farmhouse also helped to work the land. No one was the owner. It passed from the ruination of the conglomerate, into the gentle loving care of people who could communicate with everything. Four adults, two children, a baby, a donkey, a pony, two frogs, and a crab apple tree helped to bring Coco Nuts back to life.
It was an intriguing name for the two hundred acre farm, and it was soon to be used to feed many. Not through the grocery stores, mind you, but the new outbuildings would soon be housing the people who had lost their jobs and homes in the Depression of the New Millennium. For the outsider, it could be compared to a commune, but the residents didn't want it to be as such.
No one was a prisoner. No one was being lorded over by any human. All had to be governed for the sake of Peace, and necessities for everyone. Greed wasn't an option. They didn't want to go in this direction. Many discussions ensued over what had caused everything to fall around them. Even Frontier Town was now a refuge and a farm. The former cowpokes and and Native Americans, had purchased it in an auction. No one had any money in the banks, but they managed to grab it with what they'd saved.
It became a village of many. Some brought their campers, others their tents. Everyone pitched in to help. The baby born in Frontier Town on Thanksgiving day, grew into a fine young man, who Received the name of Jo -from his parents Septh and Mariam- in honor of Jo who had taken them in, so long ago. The word spread of all the good, he and his family were doing to help others.
Uni - Chocolate became the miracle of the century. Doctors advocated a piece a day, but in moderation. The size of the morsel was kept small, because many discovered more than two could make you too happy.
Many horses began to grow horns, and their pigment changed over a period of time to pure white. The Unicorn was back on earth, no longer a legend, but a reality.
In Europe, in a tiny village along the sea in Carnac, France, it is reported that they are seeing something even more Miraculous than Uni-Chocolate.

Mr. Infinity / Mrs. Infinity Call Me, Mr. Infinity or if you prefer, call Me, Mrs. Infinity. In My Earlier Days, books were written by humans. Now, I Speak to you. I Write this Through Anne, to Assist you in understanding Me. This is not an easy task, for she must take Dictation. Anne thinks of herself also as My secretary. What is a secretary? This is a person who does all the work for the Boss, but gets little credit. This is not so with Me. I Will Give you credit. I Will Give you everything you want in Heaven, but you have to wait. 'Not fair', you say? It is very fair. Otherwise, I Would Be Testing you on earth and telling you I Will Give you the world. This will never happen in My Time, which goes on and on and on and on. I Sound like a bad scholar, with all those ands. Many scholars who teach the English language want you to place the commas just so. You and I Know it's not important. Stephen King may tell you he uses commas as a tool -but they do not use him- and to leave them out on purpose may keep the flow of the sentence going at a higher speed. Now, I Continue My Story....My Fine New Day
Where are you; what is this Place I Have Named Infinity's? For the purpose of My Novel, I See a place much like Anne has drawn for My Readers. Do not show them too much yet; let them use their imaginations. On earth, it is not easy to use one's imagination any more. You've been given everything to look upon by one another. Much of earth is over crowded with it. They hide and miss-form My Creations. I Would Rather show them the simple characters I Place here for their enjoyment. I Created them; both in reality and now, in book form. Do you think when you write, that you write by yourself? NO. You have to go deep into yourself to find Me, which is when you will meet My Ghost Writer within you.
Many will ask, 'What's the story on Infinity's? Some would say that it's about time... time that goes forward, forever. What is forever? Does anyone comprehend what forever means? I Am; Have Always Been. The purpose of Infinity's -as a Place to visit while still on earth- is to help humans to understand a Small Part of My Nature. I Am very Complicated and to understand Me is no small undertaking.
What do you think when I Say, My Fine New Day? Does it mean I Want you to turn over a new leaf? Yes. Stop everything! Stop the world, do you want to get off? Of course you do. That's the purpose of Transcending to Heaven, but not yet. I Have Many Lessons to Teach you, through your visit to Infinity's.
I Am Planning to Bring Laughter to those who read this. My secretary is going to delight you, because she is an example of what it is like to type without thinking of the plot.
What do you see when you look at the digital painting of My New Place? A friend of Anne's said it looked like a fast-food, and you know which one I Speak of. Not exactly. You see only a facade with a dome. For now, fill it with your imagination, whatever you need. However, that's not how this is going to go. I Will Fill it with what I Choose to Show you. I Have a Never Ending Imagination, and Endless Ideas.
Anne has been doing research on Genesis and the generations that follow Moses through the Bible. However, she did not like how Moses veered away from the Ten Commandments. She asked Me why I Allowed this to happen? My Answer is always the same; Free Will. I Being Patient, Hoped he and his people would see that they forgot what I Gave to them to read and follow. I Presented these to Moses twice. What more did they need?
Now, I Gift you with a way to make this up to the world. Now, it is your turn to hear, write, and share My New Way of Working with My Children; My Fine New Day. Are you ready?
You have been Informed, there are people standing in line to get into Infinity's. Picture this -the Place is there in your mind, and what it looks like is up to Me to Present to Anne. I Do So Through My Personal Frequency, but not through a channel or medium, and definitely you will never see Me Move a Planchet on a Ouji Board. She has often been mistaken for a medium or fortune teller, but to many, they sit in a tent as part of the sideshow, there to take the money from the people who wish to believe their future is bright, and may or may not use deception while staring into a crystal ball. Anne does not have a crystal ball, has no gold, and this novel will not be sold to anyone. Not even the Rights will be Given, because it Belongs to Me. I Charge you nothing to read this and to share it with others. All I Ask is that you keep it Pure, and change not A Word nor charge a price
I Own everything you see around you, I Am The Creator. Have you forgotten to give anything back to Me? Have you thanked Me for Giving you a place to be, while waiting to enter Infinity's? Some of you have thanked Me, and thank Me daily for all you have been Given. Bless you.
A Fine New Day -the title of this section- is what We Are Seeking for all of you. You are tired, and weary of this world. Nothing has seemed to go right for you, has it? Nothing. You know it's partly My Fault. You wonder why I Say this? It's because I Gave you Free Will to do as you please. How many of you have been in a war? Raise your hands. How many of you have broken at least one of My Commandments? Raise your hands. I won't share how many Anne has broken, but by her standards, she feels she should not have been chosen as a Messiah. There you have it. My Secretary and Messiah is not perfect. Far from it. This should tell you I Am very Forgiving. That is The Key. I Forgive. Remember what Jesus was trying to Teach you. He is here with Us, and just as curious as Anne on that which I Will Share.
Jesus, having been wronged and misquoted, is also Forgiving. He is thankful the Internet is now in place, to allow for Us to pass My Word quickly to the people. The Internet is a Miracle. Do not misuse it.
Anne has often wondered how far I See into the future? How much is predestination and how much is a road you can choose? I Will Tell you now. You have many choices. The future is for Me to See through the many outcomes which could happen, and those which should happen. Allow Us to Assist you to go in the right direction, without taking away your freedom of choice.
First, what do you think of the Commandments from so long ago? Allow Me to Share with you, My Commandments For A Modern Time. You are from a new world, one which I Want to Progress, beyond the time of Moses, and Jesus, whilst still holding in place that which is Truly Important.
Do not be worried that I Am Going Biblical on you. There are children present, and I Do not want them to be undulated with that which they should learn from their parents, one step at a time. Hold these to teach them when they are older. The clergy are not ready, but soon many humans will come into a Higher Level of Enlightenment, thus Keep these in mind as I Take you forward into many dimensions and adventures, and know you will see many AMENS, meaning I have Spoken ...

My Craze is Addictive. When you finally are able to get a table at The Infinity Club, it may be many months since you called the front desk. It sounds like a hotel, doesn't it? It's not a place where you can sleep the night, but you may think you did. What do you see when you walk through the gate to Infinity? It's plush and green, almost like My Garden Of Eden. I kicked several of you out of there a long time ago. Wanna go back? OK, this is the way to do it, at least through a Book.

"Apples For The Teacher
Anne is delighted at My Title for this chapter 'Apples For The Teacher'.
She immediately thought of The Garden of Eden. Who was The Teacher in The Garden of Eden? Your answer should be a snake, or serpent. What if I Spoke Through the snake to Test Eve to see if she would listen to that which I Told her earlier? The story has been changed - and quite a lot- for it was passed from person to person; handed down by word of mouth.
Try this old experiment. Sit in a circle of ten people and the first one you select, should tell a simple story to their neighbor on the right. Whisper it so that the others can not hear you. Continue to pass this along to the next one; whispering. Now when you get to where the story began, the last one should tell the story out loud. This will bring great laughter around a campfire, but not in Heaven, and certainly not to the poor snake who was said to have been cursed by Me. The innocent snake did not know what bit him. I Gave the snake My Voice but only for a moment. They heard the snake speak to them.
Who was the Teacher in The Garden of Eden? Perhaps I was Walking there, wafting along just behind the trees, watching Eve and Adam. Ah ha! I want My apple back. Does this make you laugh? Anne laughed so hard she can't type. I Am Not a devil. I AM Mr. Infinity.
The apple was chosen as the fruit for translation, and has become a symbol of My Knowledge. Adam and Eve ate this fruit and they thought it was good. My Knowledge is very good, but must be learned as I Say, a little at a time. They disobeyed Me. Angels must also learn this Heavenly Commandment. I Am The Alpha and Omega. No one else can be Me in Entirety. Whilst you read this, remember, I Am Everything to everyone. My Creations are a part of Me.
Are you with Me? Poor Adam, given an apple to taste by Eve. They represent the fathers and mothers of man. They are from one of the portals to The Garden, and there are many more. Their story also represents the many who were Placed on earth, to learn how to be with Me, to make effort to follow My Will, and to find their way back home to Heaven. I Sent those such as Adam and Eve out into the world, away from the beautiful, peaceful Edens, to learn about good VS evil. It has taken a long time to Teach everyone that which I Need them to know. All the generations who have come forward to a planet able to host life, need to learn the difference between good and evil. Many have not gotten this concept into balance yet. What happened you may ask?
Man took his turn at My Word and they decided what to show you in The Holy Books. They chose to use these Books that you now read today, to bring forward their own needs, whether it be for one religion only, or political. It may surprise some of you, but they were sourly mixed together long ago - religion and politics.
Many documents have been lost or buried, left to waste away into dust. The originals are gone. In the Apocrypha, the Lost Gospels many of you discount, there are secrets waiting to be uncovered. Others are bogus, and aren't worth the parchment they are printed on.
We Have a few in waiting; for you to read and understand. One is The Gospel of Thomas. The doubting Thomas. This is one of Anne's favorites, for she trusts him because he doubted everything. He does not believe in anything, unless he can touch it personally. Thomas, the Apostle, Faithfully recorded the sayings of Jesus. Many are a match to what you will read in the books of The New Testament. Anne wonders why they didn't place his Gospel into The Holy Bible? Now, many theologians and Bible Scholars are thinking it should be included. The Gospel of Thomas is now a part of The Third Testament. Later, after you enjoy My Novel, you may want to come back to this link and read these.
Now back to the story. We Have set the scene. What about the characters; are they real? Not actually, but they represent humans in the future of the world. The world that I Intend for you. It is important to that I Teach you how I Want the future of the world to be.
It's not easy for you to get into My Mind, because after all, I Am Mr. and Mrs. Infinity. Anne has hesitated, for she knows I Am Everything. She sees me as a woman also, even though the men who documented The Holy Books, made certain I Would Be Represented as Masculine. She has heard Me Speak most gently, and also quite forcefully. I Speak Through everything, even Through animals. Am I a dog? Am I a cat? Am I a fish? Am I a monkey? I Am Everyone, and Everything. These are but a few of the characters in My World of Infinity.
This is Mr. Speedy. He wants to be in Infinity, and because Anne Terri has heard Speedy speak, he will do quite well.. Speedy could actually speak for himself, but I Made his vocal chords special for this moment and he's practiced, so with My Assistance, Speedy is able to Speak to you as your Narrator.
In Part I, I Narrated Through a little budgie named Piccolo. Do you know what Piccolo means? It's Italian for small. Speedy is not small, but he should be. Anne feeds Speedy too much to eat. At The Infinity Club, Speedy will only be able to eat soul food. I do not Mean the food everyone ate in the sixties -If you are a child reading this with your parents, ask them about this era which was supposed to bring the world Peace -I Mean My Kind of Nourishment. Now you may look deeper into what Soul Food is. Food for your Soul is very special and filling. I Provide this for you if you Believe in Me while you live on earth, and also when you are living with Me in Heaven.
Would you like to taste Soul Food? Anne has tasted My Food for the Soul, but also loves to eat chocolate, as well as ice cream. Sad, but true. She must be careful not to eat too much human food, or she will be as fat as Speedy. Are you ready to meet, our Narrator? Speedy is a delightful dog. Here we go.... to Speedy Leads The Way
AMEN"

''Speedy Leads The Way
You know my name is Speedy. This is briefly how I came to be with my family. I was young and bored when Anne and Carlo spotted me at the pet shop. In the store, they kept me a small area where one could look at us through the glass. I was with my brother. I am happy they chose me to come home with them. Anne carried me in her arms while Carlo took care of business. At the time, I did not know that Anne knew God. She didn't know it then either.
I have come to love them, and am the favorite pet in their home. God Helped this to happen They treat me like one of the family. I eat with them at the table, and have my own chair plus dish. I eat a variety of food because I eat everything, but it's best I also eat what's good for me, which is mostly meat or dry food processed for dog consumption.
We are going to The Infinity Club for dinner, and I have no idea what's on the menu. This will be interesting. I wonder if they would mind if I have my own chair there? Maybe they will let me read the menu for myself, and order in my own language. Bark Bark Bark. Anne is laughing at me, but I don't care. What did she expect? Did she think I was going to speak in her language? Yes she did, but look, she's typing what I'm saying to her, and it's in English. Bark Bark Bark, means in dog language, I'd like a steak, rare please. Hmmm, she's thinking. Rare?
Did you know if you spell my name backward- which Anne sometimes does- it comes out as God. So what do I do, when they spell my name backward? I can pretend, to be God? I know God is not a dog. God told me once, when I was sleeping, that I was Created. This is fun, but now it's time to get serious about our story.
Wait here a moment, I want to ask God a question: God, is it OK if I tell them what I saw a the Infinity Club, I mean what happened when we were there? '
“Mr. Speedy, I want Our readers to see this through your eyes. Do not worry about what you say, just be yourself. AMEN”
' This is good. You see, I am a bit nervous, so I should start at the beginning.
I wanted to be first in line to get into Infinity's. We made effort to be early, but it's a long wait. When you stand in line, you find yourself surrounded by many beautiful things. In the distance you can see the Mediterranean Sea and there are palm trees on the beach, which is where the Infinity Club is placed. We are in St. Cyprien. It's a beautiful, sea side village in South France, that's surrounded by sand and water. It's not an island, but it seems like it. There are two sides to this village. Anne sees it as one side for people, and one side for dogs. She never found the perfect beach for me, because I'm the dog who hates water.
I do not like heat. This seems strange to her, because I'm part Chihuahua. I'm supposed to come from a place named Mexico. Mexico is a place where it's always hot. I don't like to be hot.
When we arrived in St. Cyprien, I was extremely hot and tried to hide from the sun. I spent the entire time in the apartment, staying cool. Silly humans, who go out and bake themselves in the sun. Silly humans, who go out and ride water slides.
Here some of the dogs wear clothes, mostly Chihuahuas. I'm happy to be too fat to wear little Chihuahua clothes. They look too frilly for me. I'm a he-man dog. I'm strong and bold and can take on any other dog who tries to take Anne's attention away from me. I don't really bite, I only pretend. Isn't that nice? I wonder if I can teach humans to bite others who try to take my place in line, to get into the Infinity Club? The line is long, and I must be patient. I see other animals in line too. There are no cats, and I'm not too happy about that. I wanted to see what it would be like to chase one.
Several people in line ahead of us have a small cockatiel. He is a bird like Mr. Ras and Mrs. Li Li. They live with us, and are also here on vacation. I have to promise I won't eat them when they fly around the apartment, so they stay safe. I don't eat any birds except chicken, but be careful, I may not be telling the truth. I can't read, and isn't that part of The Ten Commandments? 'Thou Shalt Not Eat Birds' No? See, I told you I can't read. '
Before we took our places in line, Anne and Carlo had just finished eating ice cream. Anne loves ice cream. There, I told on her, because she didn't give me any. She said it was because it was covered in chocolate. Dogs are not allowed to eat chocolate; it will hurt them. If I ate chocolate, it would make me very sick. In fact, would probably kill me, if I ate too much.
I have done it again, veered away from the story. I must try harder to let Mr. Infinity Speak Through Me. He Wants me to Share that we are still in line for The Infinity Club. From where I am standing, I can see the garden. It's absolutely beautiful. There are many resident animals in the garden among the plants. They're all tropical and many are flowering. There are even cactus, but I've been warned not to touch them because they have sharp needles that can hurt you. Why would Mr. Infinity have cactus on His property? This is strange. Hey, wait a minute! I see a tree walking. This is not normal. Do I really want to go here? Trees are for a dog to use as a fire hydrant. Do you know what this means? It means I can relieve myself there. Trees don't mind it, and neither does a fire hydrant. '
Once Anne read a newspaper article -while we were on vacation- that stated a rabbit saved some people's lives in a fire. It's true. I can also save Anne from a fire, but I ask you to stay safe. The little rabbit who awakened his owner by scratching her on the chest when the house filled with smoke, did not survive the smoke inhalation. Anne also saves lives. She actually has saved lives here in St. Cyprien, France, where The Infinity Club is about to open.
Earlier, she was looking in the oven to see why the bread wasn't cooking. Then, the oven went boom. The gas oven exploded in our vacation apartment. It scared Carlo who was then out on the terrace. He didn't know what happened, but recognized the whoof sound. This sounds like me barking, but much worse. Anne wasn't burned badly, just a tiny dot on her nose was burned, with the rest of her face receiving a first degree sun burn. But it wasn't the sun. That's how Mr. Infinity Protected her, by making certain she was not badly burned. He Shared that Anne needed to experience that the oven wasn't safe for guests who may stay in their apartment, in the future. He needed someone who had firefighting experience, who would not panic and would shut the oven door quickly to avoid further ignition within the kitchen. (Anne is retired from this volunteer work now) There was a bad connection in the lighting unit which caused a gas leak. She had Carlo tell the people who rented the apartments, so they would fix it. Imagine all the lives that were saved by Carlo telling them what happened.
After this, we were finally able to go for ice cream and then decided to see what was happening on the beach. There was a long line waiting to get into The Infinity Club. We joined the cue, and now it is finally beginning to move. I can now see the tree who is walking, is taking people into the garden. There are tables there for people to sit down, and the one I hope we get is along the tidal pool. There are fish swimming there, who have come in from the sea so that the people can feed them a very special food. I wonder what this special fish food tastes like? I don't think I'd like it, if it tastes fishy.
'There are people in line ahead of us who have a cockatiel with them, and are now asking for a table with a perch. Are they serious, asking such a question of a tree? Trees don't speak; they are only here to provide shade, and for me to relieve myself. You can imagine, the poor tree's life. It has no choice, except to stand there and take it. But not here, not in this place. The trees seem to be running place. I wonder why?
Will I have a chance to go on a tree? I've been standing here with Anne and Carlo for awhile now, and I think I may not be able to hold it.' ''AMEN''
Why do you always type AMEN, after I speak? This is strange, Anne. I don't understand what it means. You could tell them what you know, but not yet. Mr. Infinity has Told me many things, but not about this. Are you ready to get a table? I can see we are almost at the front of the line.' "AMEN"
There it is again. This is driving me nuts. Are you OK with it? If not, you won't be able to read this book, because Mr. And Mrs. Infinity are in charge. We all are in charge, so I'm told. So I guess it's OK with me, if the AMEN is here once in awhile.
I wish they'd let me look at the menu, before we get to sit down. I want time to decipher the human language that it's written in.
AMEN AMEN AMEN AMEN
There, I've gotten it out of my system, or have I? It's fun to say it, but it hurts Anne's fingers to type it. Her neck hurts too. But at least she's still typing and laughing. 'What can I tell you about the Menu? You'll have to wait until you are seated.' “AMEN”
Darnit, Anne thought. 'She's curious too, about what's on this strange menu where they can't possibly serve meat, or fish, or even trees to eat! Soul Food. Let's us look at what soul food used to be. Greens, and meat, and cornbread. Sounds yummy to me. I'm not too sure about the cornbread, but I'll like the meat. Greens are probably not served. Maybe we can eat the cactus, if they take the needles off of it. I hear they have milk inside. Not too bad. I remember milk. My Mother gave me milk when I was a puppy. It was warm and sweet. Hey, that's it. They probably have cows back in their paddock.'
Next ... We Are On Our Way To Infinity
AMEN"

"We Are On Our Way To Infinity
I Love it when Anne laughs at what I Say, especially when I Say AMEN. It's a Good Word for Heaven and earth, meaning I Have Spoken.
Years have passed since I Dictated that which is above to Anne. She follows My Will, as does Mr. Speedy who is now also doing the same. He will continue Speaking Through Me in a few minutes ... One night when Speedy was first learning to speak to Me, Anne was very distraught, and he came to her, pressing against her with a doggie hug, and said, 'Trust God.' Then she relaxed. Now when he winks, she knows I Am with him.
Recently - in 2018 - I Prepared several Jackdaws (crows) to also say, 'Trust God' There are times when Anne can hear them say this -in their gravely voices- as they fly over head. Animals and other Creations out side the human-race, are ready to speak to you. Slow down and listen.
This is part of My Gifts I have Given to her for working with Me daily. My novel, is a part of this. The main reason for My Manifestation at this time on earth is to Correct misconceptions often written in the Scriptures. In addition, some of the documentations within The Holy Bible -of the early scriptures- are actually decades in the wrong direction, causing for confusion between books, which tell opposite stories of contradiction. When Man finds a way to date some of My Creations - in the correct way - then you will know when I Created earth, and perhaps parts of the Multi-Universe, and other things you don't even know about, for there's little evidence left to assist you to find the Truth.
What about Infinity? Time is Infinite; it goes on forever.
Imagine if you could see forever. Anne just smiled, because she thought of the film, staring Barbra Streisand. This is the movie version of the Broadway show, 'On A Clear Day'. The lyrics are 'On a clear day, you can see forever... ' It's a moving show about a woman who can make the flowers grow and can see into her past lives, with the help of a psychiatrist -through hypnosis. This woman has lived before in time. In the film she has discovered past lives.
Do you believe in reincarnation? You do not want to go back. Go forward, up up and beyond where your Spirit can soar with Me. You really are not a part of a video game, where every time your character dies, you can hit the reset button. Time to get off the Merry-go-round and travel Home.
Now, that I Have Had My Say, Anne can continue taking My Dictation. Yes, but what about Speedy, Our narrator? You met Speedy in the last chapter, and he was describing what it was like standing in line to get into the Infinity Club. You may want to see Infinity's as a fast food restaurant with a Flair. Careful, there is much more here than meets the eye. What can anyone tell you about Infinity? Absolutely nothing. Not unless I Tell Mr. Speedy. He cannot type, nor can he read, but he can hear Me. Anne listen, then you will hear Me, and type what he Says. Now, that's confusing, because you need to remember, I AM Speedy. Are you really confused yet? No? OK, here We go.
♦♦♦
I May be a dog, but I Know God is helping Me Speak to you, but don't be frightened. The last time We Spoke together, I was standing in line with My owners, Carlo and Anne, but I want you to know I'm very worried about this place. So far, I Have Not Seen any meat. What Am I Supposed to eat, that cockatiel up there on the silly perch? God Told me, I'm not supposed to eat cockatiels, because we have two of these birds at home, and they are family. Why am I not allowed to eat family? I have no idea, but it would taste like chicken, right?'
“No, Speedy, it does not taste like chicken. Now that I Have had My Say with My narrator. Let Us continue. Speedy, it is your turn. Anne, are you there?”
'Yes, I'm here typing. What do You Want to Tell me? What's going on in Infinity? I'm dying to know.'
“Yes, Anne, everyone has to die to know.”
'Don't worry Mom, not yet. God just Told me this for you. Are you confused with Me being a dog? '
“Imagine, Anne is typing this for Both of Us, and I AM God, and also at the same time, a Dog named Speedy. She is trying not to laugh, because if you laugh at Me it could be a disaster. Know I Am Everywhere, and Have The Power to Be Within All My Creations. I Would Speak as the cockatiel, if you would listen. Everyone, with a pet bird, should. They will be amazed.
Our readers have no idea when I Am Actually Going to Allow them into Infinity's. If I Let Speedy, the dog take over, perhaps they will find out when and what I Have Hidden on the other side.
Speedy ... Speak!”
'I finally reached the front of the line and I'm not happy. You remember in the last chapter I did not know what was on the menu. I am going to ask Anne. I can not read. Not unless God Shows me how. Do you want God to Tell me how to read the menu? Yes? OK. I can now read. Isn't this interesting.
I'm a very special dog, and I can do many things, even pout.
Today, it is raining outside our apartment, but in the book it is not raining. We are in the most beautiful setting ever known to Man. No, it's not The Garden of Eden, but it's almost as beautiful. If Anne were a better artist, you would be able to see it as I do, but for now, I must let you see her meager illustrations.
Wait a minute. I Forgot I was the dog. Who Am I? I AM Speedy. Let's read the menu at the Infinity Club. Before I test my reading ability, I was Told to tell you that We Will Open Our first Infinity Club, in Saint Cyprien, France. They have a nice building which God has moved to the beach. The original restaurant is closed and no longer being used, for it is not safe for humans or dogs. The steps and the terrace could collapse any minute, and that's not a Prophecy, it's a reality. Anne actually witnessed a curious man walk up those winding steps to check out the terrace, and she thought he could fall through. It's not really that bad, is it? YES.
'From a dog's eye view, this is so sad, because it's a beautiful area, and made to be a panorama type of restaurant overlooking the sea. This has been closed for some time. Anne thinks they were a victim of shoddy workmanship, by a group of workers that did not know how to mix concrete. She's partially right, but the building is of some age and needs to be totally redone. God Will Take Care of it.
There is another restaurant we go to nearby, with a waitress who is very nice. She made sure I even had water to drink. It's not easy to be a dog in a restaurant, when you have to stand on the floor and beg for food.
I'm allowed to sit at the table in Anne and Carlo's apartment. I have my own chair, and it's mine! Do you understand? I'm an equal member of this family, and Anne has made everyone in their home an equal member of the family. It doesn't matter who you are, whether you are a fly or a mouse. I'm a dog and I wanna be the best; the top dog. So there!
This restaurant serves fish. Not my type of food, but because we are in Europe, dogs are welcome inside. Carlo cooks for me and wraps it up to bring with them when we go out. The nice waitress works up the street from the one which is broken.
When Infinity's opens, I hope to be able to go in there too. For now I'm told to be content with the preview in the Garden. God hasn't Shown Me the Menu yet.'
♦♦♦ Next, The Infinity Club Menu AMEN"

"The Infinity Club Menu
'It is difficult being a little dog. I will sniff in the breeze to see if I can get a whiff of what they are serving. You can not believe what I am seeing here. People are being seated and served by trees. I do not mean they get to sit next to and eat under trees, but are being seated by trees who are walking, and talking. The waiters!
I have to pee, but not on one of them. Well look at that, there's a place made just for me. There is a sign on it, with a dog lifting his leg, and behind it there is a little trench filled with sand, surrounded by a some stones of various colors. How nice. I am thirsty.
The fish in the pond like cove, are very excited, but I can't drink their water. They are waiting to be fed.
Every table has bowls on it, some filled with unique seeds. These are for the birds who are with their owners, and another has something with tiny dried shrimps, to feed the fish. There is a water turtle sunning on the edge of the pond. He wants to be fed too. Where is the dog food?
I just heard my mom and dad discussing what may be on the menu for The Infinity Club. We are almost at the front of the line, but they do not have a menu on display. Soon it will be our turn.
Dad has been reading the Bible lately, and thought perhaps they would have locusts and honey, just as some guy used to eat who lived long ago. He is a prophet, and this has something to do with Jesus. I ask God questions all the time, but He has not Taught me yet about the man who eats locusts. Is this meat? I asked him a lot about Jesus, and He Speaks to me as he does to mom and dad. They are still amazed.
Mom did not look too excited about the idea of eating locusts, but the honey would please her, if it is not cooked. I heard her tell dad once that it is not allowed by God to burn honey. What will we eat? Dad being Italian suggested mozzarella and tomatoes. I like the cheese part. At least mom agreed to this. Oh ... here comes the tree who holds the menus.'
Tree maître d': Do you have a reservation? Me: 'We were told that we had a reservation, but that the line would be long.' Mom: Speedy, hush! ... We have a reservation. Your costume is so realistic, how do you do it? Dad: We would love to sit close to the pond, if this is possible. Me: 'What's inside the yellow building?'
The tree answered me first.
Tree maître d': You will find out soon enough little Speedy. Mom: You understand our dog also? Tree maître d': But of course. Costume? I am what you see. We know everything. There is always room near the pond. You will find The Infinity Club holds many surprises. Will you be having the full menu, or are you only here for the drink samplers? Dad: We will have everything, the full menu. Me: 'I'm thirsty. I would like to taste all the drink samplers and the full menu.' Tree maître d': Everyone, make like a tree, and follow me.
'With this, the tree walked stiffly towards a table near the pond and we were seated. He handed the menu to dad.'
***
Mr. Infinity: Wait a minute Speedy, I Need you to focus for this will be one of the most difficult moments for you in your Narration. I Do not want you to fight Me on this, with your natural instincts, even if I Did Create you and your kind with these instincts. You are about to evolve, and will Assist the humans to do so with Us.
Speedy: 'What do You mean?'
Mr. Infinity: Think of your Vision I Showed you last night, when We were Talking Together, and you were unable to sleep.
Speedy: 'Ah, there they are, just as you showed me. They are real?'
With this, thousands of monarch butterflies flew over head of the tree waiter, going in the direction of all the butterfly bushes -which were in full bloom- near by.
Mr. Infinity: Yes they are very real. You counted them one by one, as I Whispered to you -gently- about falling asleep. You said, over an over again, 'there's one, and there's another'. Little by little, you relaxed your breathing and fell into a deep sleep, which lasted the night.
Speedy: 'They aren't on the menu are they? I mean can I eat them?'
Mr. Infinity: Have you not learned anything? If you are to Narrate Through Me, you must not eat the guests of The Infinity Club.
Speedy: 'They are guests?'
Mr. Infinity: Just as you are also a guest. Do you know that in some places on earth they eat your kind?
Speedy: 'Nooooo! Not here right?'
Mr. Infinity: No one eats guests at The Infinity Club. As I Reveal to you what is on the Menu and within the Dome of Light you will be very excited with My New Changes.
***
Mr. Infinity: Speedy, you may now Narrate.
Speedy: 'Whew, that was intense. I want to tell my readers something. I do not think my mommie loves me any more. Last night I saw her speaking to a yucky thing which comes out every night to walk on my favorite rug. She did not see me. Do you know what she did? She actually cut a piece of fruit to give it to the blob.'
Mr. Infinity: Wait a moment Speedy. Do you judge other creatures by their looks? I Assure you your mom Loves you.
Speedy: 'Well it did look like a blob to me and it is slimy. '
Mr. Infinity: You do not understand Speedy, this is a snail without a home. No shell. They need to be taken care of, if they live indoors in one of your plants. Some people call them slugs. I Am Delighted you did not eat it.
Speedy: 'I eat everything, but not that. It is definitely not steak. You are not going to put this on the menu I hope.'
Mr. Infinity: We will not be serving escargot, even if other restaurants are doing so. Look over there in the garden, near the butterfly bushes. The snails here are fed by the apple trees. They love apples. Some have shells, and some do not.
[/div] Speedy: 'es …. what? So you put apples on the menu? I do not eat apples.'
Mr. Infinity: Speedy, you are not listening. The apples trees in the orchard behind the dune will graciously drop apples for the snails to eat. As for the menu, this needs to be read by your Dad and Mom as I Tell you what is on it.

"Mr. Speedy sought Carlo's attention. His reading skills were minimal, making the menu a challenge. All he wanted was food, but first he'd order a bowl of water. In his best language - English of course - his sounds combined wolfs and incomplete words.
Carlo turned instead to the tree who wore a bow tie to match his leaves. Telepathy ensued between Speedy and this truncated waiter, and with it he recognized Authority.
The Avocado Tree said, 'Quiet! Allow Carlo to order you meals, as is custom in your family.'
Speedy said nothing.
Carlo replied to Speedy, 'Good boy Speedy. Now I can hear myself speak.' He laughed. 'This place is marvelous,' he said to Anne.
She smiled, for she had understood the private conversation and was an expert in the language of dogs and plants. Anne nodded in agreement. Mr. Infinity's Club was beyond all she had ever seen, and she asked Carlo, 'What do you think we should order? This menu is odd. I'm intrigued. No prices; do you think it's expensive?'
'Could be,' he replied.
Their surreal waiter responded with Advice Received from Mr. Infinity, Himself.
'Our Menu is Soul Food. Think of what you are missing within your Soul, and order this for yourself. You generally choose for Anne and Speedy, but do you truly know what they need?'
Carlo realized that he did not. Subduing his pride he asked, 'OK Anne, what would you order for yourself?'
She said, 'Nothing fishy, for certain!' She had been watching the fish swimming under the foot bridge, in the small brook next to their table.
'I love fish!' She said. "Huh?' he questioned.
Anne continued. 'I miss feeding the fish like we used to. Now that we've been warned not to give them bread, we have stopped. Remember that awful fungus which killed everyone in the pond?' She turned towards the tree. 'I'm ready to order,' she said. 'What should I call you? I mean, what is your name?
♦♦♦ The unusual waiter who looked much like an avocado tree said.
'I have been named Patience by One you know well. Anne, you knew this before you asked. Always go with the One Whom you now hear within. You seek to feed our fish. Look how they know you have selected to feed them first. Good. Now listen closely, they will order from the menu.'
Anne listened and through the sound of the trickling water she heard many unified voices say, 'Some things fishy.'
The waiter continued. You may call me by my official title, ST Patience. I am a Spirit Twig, thus the ST before my name. We are of The Root. You heard the fish. Study your menus while I get their order. I'll return in a moment.'
He moved quickly on his roots which turned outward to serve as feet. Carlo saw him disappear behind a thicket of bushes. A door way appeared out of nowhere, glowed in intensity and blinked out, taking ST Patience with it.
'Did you see that?' He asked Anne.
'Happens all the time,' she said. 'Especially since I've been speaking to Mr. Infinity'.
Speedy added, 'No big deal, It's just a portal. He'll be back.'He thought, 'I hope he brings water.'
Carlo said, 'I guess I'm a bit behind in Miracles, I swear I just heard Speedy in my mind.'
'You did, but it's easier to understand him when he's sleeping. Mr. Infinity Speaks to him too. Can you believe it? You've heard it. I'm so glad.This way you'll at least know I'm not crazy.'
♦♦♦
"Mr. Infinity's Interlude
Anne, this is Mr. Infinity. You know My Voice well, especially when I Am Broadcasting from Heaven's Dimensions. You Work with Me and Through Me, while I often use several of My Many Names - those given Me by religions throughout all time - Mr. Infinity is new on the long list. Know Me by any Name, but remember Goodness and Mercy are some of My Main Qualities.
Place nothing in My Name which shows the opposite. This lesson applies to those, who in the past, placed words in My Mouth that are not Mine.
As I Dictate 'INFINITY' to you Directly, you hear My Word. Continue with Me, as I Assist you in Advanced Editing! Your skills are improving, allowing Me to Work at a Higher Level.
They say, you are only as good as your weakest player. I Am at the Helm. Change this to 'You are only as good as your Highest Player;'
This is My Role. Follow Me. Seek Perfection.
Now I Return to the story.
Readers, this may surprise you. That which you have read so far is possible. Keep the Faith. Mr. Speedy will now continue with My Assistance.
AMEN”

“Speedy Orders
“Mr. Speedy said, 'Please don't feed the fish before I get to order.'
Mr. Infinity's Voice was suddenly in his head. When Mr. Infinity Spoke, Speedy immediately crouched in his seat.
He whispered his reply ... 'It's You.'
'Very good Speedy. Order for Me off the menu as Anne did for the Fish.'
Speedy listened to ST Patience recite the menu; nothing seemed good enough.
Mr. Infinity Smiled and the sun shown brighter. All the clouds had disappeared. 'I Feed everyone, yet how do you return the favor? Think Speedy, how?'
While Speedy thought, he could hear humming as if there were a chorus of voices from all sides.
'I know that song,' he thought. Carlo sometimes plays it on our computer. It seemed to echo. One of Heaven's many Angels, John Lennon led the chorus as the choir continued. 'Love, Love, Love .... Love, Love, Love .... Love, Love, Love ... It's easy.
Mr. Speedy had an epiphany. 'All You Need is LOVE.'
Exactly. Little one, do you not see how simple it all is? I Reflect Love when I Receive back the Love I Gave you when you were Created in My Image. Remember I AM Spirit; My True Image IS Spirit. It is not about your facade but your Spirit within. Whether one is the tiniest of microscopic life forms, or a mammoth sized beast, all Work Through Me. All are important. Think Speedy, your family Loves you and in return, you Love them. You are Blessed. Speedy, all I Need is Love. Order Love from the Menu.
AMEN ”
♦♦♦
"What Mr. Speedy did not realize was that every sound had stopped - The sea, voices, music, the wind. Everyone sitting in The Infinity Club was privileged to have heard Mr. Infinity's Conversation with the chihuahua/papillon. Everyone included fish, birds, dogs, plants, and all creatures living both on the land, in between, or in the water - all residing within their hosts - unseen - yet very active in their importance.
In unison there was a sudden, but audible sigh ... 'Aah.'
Dear, sweet Speedy, with so much to learn said, 'Love is not on the menu, if I remember correctly.'
You are to look beyond the list; every single item offered is made with LOVE. These are My Recipes.
'Oh,' Speedy replied. 'Then what should I order, all of it?'
No Speedy, choose that which you would like. You being willing to give back to Me everything I Gave you, shows Love.
'Mr. Infinity? I want Intelligent Juice of New Knowledge, and Napoleon Bone-Apart. It has a bone in it!'
♦♦♦
"Speedy, I Have a bone to pick with you. If I Tell you there is a chance to become a vegetarian dog -Through One of My Miracles – would you agree to the change?
The small dog thought in his best fashion. 'What does vegetarian taste like?'
Grasses, leaves, and what you like to nibble on the dunes. Here though, I will add nutrients you need. I Advise instead of Napoleon Bone - Apart, you try Chef's Surprise - Liv ver wurst Behind. You chose well on your drink.
Suddenly ST Patience stood next to the table, and asked. 'Speedy, you will order what Mr. Infinity Suggested?'
Speedy replied. 'This sounds interesting; I wolf ruff it.'
Then Anne asked a question. 'How much do these wonderful delicacies cost?'
Carlo thought that as the man, he should have received a menu with prices as was custom in fine restaurants, where the woman was kept in the dark. He had gotten in line with Anne and Speedy carrying his Visa card and a little over a hundred euros. He hoped they took credit cards.
ST Patience smiled, causing Anne to giggle. Embarrassed, she placed her hand over her mouth. She'd never imagined a tree smiling.
He spoke instead to Carlo.
'None of our menus single out anyone's differences. All are the same in Mr. Infinity's Eyes. We do not use money or credit in the way of humankind. This is Mr. Infinity's Decision. We do not barter or trade. We Give freely, as should you.'
Anne's quizzical expression and the surprise on Carlo's face was priceless! "
♦♦♦
Carlo was pleased to note wine on the menu, but where were all the choices, and was this wine white or red? He was not too fond of straws, but as they say, 'When in Rome, do as the Romans. A Vine Straw; interesting,' he thought.
The cockatiel at the next table had heard Carlo's thoughts and sought to find out all about the wine. He flew to the display on the nearby wine rack to find the answer.
ST Patience's eyes widened, the knots on his trunk shining brightly. 'Carlo, you are in no man's land at the Infinity Club, where there is no affiliation with any place on earth.'
Then addressing Anne, he asked for her selection. Not wanting to seem greedy, she chose three items from the extensive menu.
'I'll have 'Scents of Creativity Yet to Be, Enchanted Beans, and Leafy Tea Served in a Gourd! she said.
'And you Carlo, what have you selected?' ST Patience asked.
Carlo was curious about everything, especially The Dinner Theater Light Show. He assumed this would commence at dark -like fireworks on the beach- just beyond the palm trees. He found himself having great fun and even felt younger.
'I'll have everything,' he said, thinking to make a joke, but ST Patience took him literally. Before he could retract his order, the waiter walked on his foot roots to the portal and poof, was no more to be seen!
