Structions

by Narrator



These are the holy documents. They do not contain a shred of truth. The hallucination of truth is achieved only through personal reflection and inference. You are not on The Path. This is not The Way. There is no Way back and you will never find it. Relinquish hope, but not grim amusement. Only one will serve you. The time will come when you will know. Pet bunnies. Stroke their little ears and kiss their little noses. A great boon may be granted. If you are on a quest, go backwards. Place the holly branches on the bier. Do not look at what is buried there. Throw three coins into the ground and walk quickly away. Pray to gods you do not know and have faith that the coins will take root. Give the fruit of the trees to your enemies. Build small houses in the dark, in the time between snowflake and starlight and sparrow flight. Pretend to know what this means and try to feel wise. Convince yourself that the quest really matters and that you know the next step. When it is time to take the next step, hesitate. Fall asleep beside a stream and you will hear the voices of the spirits who dwell there. They will not show you The Way. They will take your heart and you will despair for seven and seven years. Maybe that is The Way. You will never know. But you will smile knowingly when it is done.

Do not follow these instructions; you are doomed. Disregard any hidden images. Coincidences are just that. Keep your eyes open for further messages. You can only approach by avoiding the approach.
