"And instantly the figures were made of wood. They looked like men, talked like men, and populated the surface of the earth. They existed and multiplied; they had daughters, they had sons, these wooden figures; but they did not have souls, nor minds, they did not remember their Creator, their Maker; they walked on all fours, aimlessly. They no longer remembered the Heart of Heaven..."
- The Popul Vuh/Creation of the Quiche Maya

Cute kid! How much?
ReplyDeleteHow much? How much?
ReplyDeleteIs there a price on happiness?
Is there a price on warm-fuzzes?
Is there a price on that time when I saw that girl but she didn't notice me even though I shot off a red flare to mark my location in the snow drift?
It's 99 cent.

ReplyDeleteWe're not saying this is the greatest innovation since the cup-holder. (It is.)
We're just saying, stay tuned.

Great story! I downloaded it and read it immediately. It's a very heartfelt reworking of what, I assume, is an old folktale. Lovely!
