Elena on Piano: "Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silent"

Elena on Piano: "Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silent"

MERIUM: I am Merium. Don’t get up. Please, stay there in your chairs. You are so comfortable already, I needn’t even fluff your pillows. It is such a lovely day, as Esmeralda has said already, so cozy. It would be as if you were seated around a roaring fire with your cup of hot cocoa and storybooks in your laps. I’ve come to remind you of our assignment, first off, that being to find something we might study and I’ll bet you dollars to doughnuts you’ve all forgotten--

Anyone have a story they’d like to tell?

Elena: I have one that’s really appropriate. It’s not exactly from my childhood, but it’s one of my favorite stories, and it was a story by George McDonald called … I don’t remember the title exactly, but it’s about the North Wind, and it tells the story about a little boy who loses his parents, an orphan, and has a very difficult time. At first he battles with the wind and it makes him cold, and he … I don’t know. It’s been a long time since I read the book. It would warrant reading again. But he goes through different things and befriends some people, but the North Wind is his biggest friend, and it actually … in my mind, is like God. At the end of the story, it eventually takes him, so the boy dies. The wind finally carries him away to a happier place, and I may not be remembering it exactly but it’s a wonderful book and I loved it, and that’s at least the gist of it.

Speaking of seasons moving along, we have observed your Thanksgiving Day activities, and heard your heart's song as to that for which you are grateful, and [we] are now in our theater seats observing the approach of the Yuletide season and all its many diversions and feelings. I invite you to join me in observing as humanity approaches the holiday that is named after the Christ child and how that affects the world, He who created the world!
