Short Mythical Story: The Lightbringer

This is the fourth short story from Tom's book of short stories inspired by the Major Arcana of the Tarot. It describes, in a round about way, The Emporer - or the Composing Intelligence. You will never look through or at a window in quite the same way again.

Transcript

Key 4,

The Lightbringer I really don't know who or what I am,

Said the window.

I sense I am part of something bigger.

Perhaps there are others like me,

But I can't see them.

I seem to be sitting between two different worlds.

On one side of me I have fields,

Trees and a big sky,

And each day it all disappears and goes dark.

On the other side is a strange space,

Full of objects that I don't understand.

When it goes dark on one side,

It goes light on the other side for a while,

Before everything goes dark again.

Inside the strange space,

A creature wanders around.

Sometimes it comes up to look at me,

But I get the impression that it sees right through me.

I like both of my sides for different reasons.

One side feels open and free,

The other feels like it's a place where I belong and I'm appreciated.

Some days I get buffered,

Battered and wet,

But only on one side.

That reminds me of some old memories that go back to before I was born.

I can recall being underwater,

Then on land,

Open to the elements.

I also have a nightmare now and then about being born in a fire.

On the other side,

If I am really quiet and really listen,

I can pick up noises from the strange creature.

They make my surface vibrate ever so slightly.

I have no idea what it's all about.

The window had no idea of course that the strange creature was a famous artist,

And that it provided her with a window to another world.

It would have been really proud of itself if it heard what she said about it one sunny morning.

I just love the light this window brings in.

Lovely story! Thank you!!

You are right about seeing windows differently.story gets to the heart of the card though. The window serves a higher purpose and gives selflessly without really understanding the good it does but it accepts both sides of its nature without overthinking.there is a lesson there we can ponder in our own lives

What a magical little story. I just love it. And yes I will never look at a window the same way again. Thank you!

Wonderful! True, I will never look through my windows the same way. Thank you

All I can say is Thank You for this beautiful story! I listened to it 5 minutes ago and I'm still processing the window's thoughts and perspective. Thank You.

Beautifully crafted, with the added dimension of mystery.
