"If He is everywhere," she started to weep...,"then why did He not find me when I was in nowhere?"

"He was holding you there for me until I was born to come and rescue you," Dan reassured her.

"I am afraid I will fade away......,"she trailed off.

"Don't be afraid Echo," Dan told her, "I have His Words for you and they never fade."

"What Words?," she asked.

"The Words to Life," Dan stated and held up his hands and spoke, "Deus beatus tu quod defendo tu. Deus creo fulsi Ipsemet visio tenus totus per tu quod existo propitius comperte tu. Deus effero Ipsemet vultus consilio nam tu quod affero tu pax pacis."

......and as God as my witness, with those Words this apparition became real before me....and I saw her draw in her first breath.

The delight and wonder which her eyes showed..........it was really the princess awakening from a dream and finding she was even more than she dreamed.....for someone actually believed in her all she feared to believe in herself.

She ran to him and simply held him tightly in an embrace which said she would never let him go.

"Who is she," she inquired about me.

"She is Mirelda......my friend Mirelda," Dan answered her....but his eyes were thanking me for allowing his dream to be born upon my bed of life.

I withdrew from them......and listened in buffered sleeping walls to the music of the chatter of their laughter all through the night.....but upon my dawn they were both gone.

I never saw them again after that.......there was simply left a note written in the bottom of the pool where the salt of the rocks had come to life....I noticed it glistening in the sun's dawn.

It lovingly read,

"Our Mirelda,

Look not for us here....nor look for dreams to be fulfilled in the eclipse of pools. The garden of you is now yours to grow your dreams in God's care. In the Light you will find the Way and have us always with you to celebrate your joys........."

and in those words they were right......

I still hear them echoing in my thoughts....the echo of them........ real within my heart.



Thee End

God bless the Good
