The Great Search
Not too far lies the majestic Danube it cuts through the black forest possibly its cold winter wind was
Making a strong noise out side he set at the work bench his metal tools were hanging on the wall the
Great fire place was doing a good impression of a small fury the warmth pushed against the cold maybe
This was the impetuous that caused him to wonder what if there was a way to make a key that would
Open the door for all mankind to know happiness and total fulfillment it would have to be the most well
Crafted and the most thought out work of his life with human hands an accomplishment of staggering
Proportions he was accomplished in all manner of gold workings so that would be the direction to start
In it would take the very essence of mystery to delve into the dark heart of man then as it were find an
Acceptable antidote then it would have to be of the purist quality nothing less would do otherwise the
First move would bring catastrophe contamination would be complete project ends in disaster should it
Conform to the shape of the heart the core and seat of power the idea not to mimic but to gain
Entrance The most logical approach it would have to harness light but diffuse it to make it harmless
Somehow draw lighting down but take a way it over riding power stillness with its opposite present
Music has much to offer plenty of action but with harmonious smoothness that would soothe and move
To great Depths avoiding the pointed abrasive areas making joy to flow richly uninhibited you would be
Able to control that which is unpredictable and without warning flashes of rage bringing disastrous
Results it would have to contain the characteristics of the very wind that is not measureless as it seems
It is weighed held in check ordered movements bring the wealth of rain on what we be otherwise barren
Fields by now his mind was both enthralled and reeling with this magnitude he finally concluded
Impossible forget it except the truth and live with failure but truth had a resonating force that made
Him think long and hard in the fourteen hundreds at best progress was in a fragile state but truth
Continued to dance in his fevered mind and in the distance church bells started to ring his contrary
Nature leapt to a standing position everything he was dreaming and fretting about already existed he just
Needed to be its facilitator it would be the earth’s first mass engine a revolution was rapidly nearing
Birth all those requirements for such a key was not just a fantasy it is found from Genesis to Revelation
Gutenberg’s printing press would make it possible for all people to digest the only written words that
Can change lives make you a citizen of another kingdom while you are still earth bound
