Queen Bees
I was coming back from a food hunt when I stumble on a peculiar conversation. All the pigeons were gathered around the robin and the azure tit. I joined the owl to ask what it was about, but forget about it when I saw he was sleeping, eyes wide open.
It was Lena, one of the robins who led the talking.
- So, you lot called this place heaven, right?
- It is heaven, that’s right.
- And this heaven is supposed open to all birds?
- Yes, it is!
- And everybirds can stay here to rest and gather strength on their journey, right?
- Exactly!
- And it’s supposed to be a magnificent place, right? The kind that makes everyone happy.
- Yes, it is, after all, it’s heaven!
- And you lot are the guardians of this heaven?
- We’re here to tell everyone that this place is indeed heaven.
- And that’s it? You just tell them?
- What do you mean?
- What happens if they don’t trust your chirp?
- How could they?
- Well, before you told me about heaven I didn’t know what it was, you know?
- No way!
- I assure you all, I didn’t know. So, hear me out, I may have an idea for you to think about.
- Tell us, tell us! Every bird must know about heaven!
- Yes, yes! So listen! What if instead of just talking, you show them!
- Show? But for that they just have to look…
- That’s where you’re wrong friends, I just told you that doesn’t work, right?
- Ah, right. And?
- And so, what if you show them the splendour of heaven? This place needs stewards and guardians, not just talkers! So, when a bird arrives, he needs to see what this place is, right? How clean is it, how agreeable it is, how magnificent it will be to live here right?
- Right, right!
- So be sure to make the place look like it!
- How so?
- Well, if the place isn’t perfectly clean, then make it so? After all, Ellie splotched mud everywhere when she baths, right? The ravens play with their games and there are hairs here and there after that, and for them, it’s right to do so, but for others, it’s not and they couldn’t see the heaven behind the place you understand?
- Uuuh, maybe?
- So, you! The great keeper of the truth! The guardians and keeper of the great heavens! The worker of the ultimate acceptance! The storyteller of that magnificence! You have only one thing to do for that, right? Make that place a heaven for everybody in it to understand what it truly is! Show them the way it must be! Prepare some magnificent room for them, with food and everything for them to make them acknowledge the indubitable truth! Right? Keep the place clean! Make everybird happy! You all agree with that, right? It can’t be another way? That’s the only things to do, right?
- Wuooooo! Let’s do it! together flock! Let’s do that! For heaven!
