It's all there!

Last time I made a promise to break any promises. So, I'll keep that promise. - No Middle Ages, no Tolkien's Middle Earth either, but the Center of the Earth instead.

Our Nemea is light-footed and very brilliant company in the hot-blue breath of night. And yet she has the nearly forgotten knowledge that goes far back to a moment when agiorgitiko was young, the gods were still having a court by themselves, and the noble and humble among men thought that they were the center of the earth.

Let us hear Nemea's speech:

I was a young girl then. I lived in my father's garden with all my sisters, and they were many. Most of the time we just hung around, and talked gossip. It was cozy that way underneath the green roof. It shaded us against the sun and kept us warm at night to suck the nourishing veins of the stem. We loved the warmth. It made us swell with liquids of our own.

But the stem grew thicker each year, and we started to call it a trunk. I was confused because each year I lived a bit higher with my sisters, and so many new girls had moved upstairs like in a dream from which I woke up again and again. And I did not know I had fallen asleep.

But one day there was a wind above our green roof that was not a storm (we had known many storms, and we hated them because then we could only look down, and drip with water in our unseeing eyes, and hear nothing because of the loud thunder - it was so different with a gentle rain). That wind blew our eyes, minds, and ears clean to hear the words it was speaking: 'Look around. Your father lives in many stems and trunks. You are his daughters. Look left, look right, and look behind. What do you see? He is a generous father. His name is Agiorgitiko, but he will sacrifice his daughters when the sun stops burning.' - Then there was silence.

But the silence lasted only a moment. All my sisters were saying something, all of my new kin (the ones I had noticed when looking obediently left, right and behind) were talking. There was a tumult of voices from as far as hundred paces to each direction (and suddenly I became aware that I knew that there were paces - that I had not been asleep during the moments I had not been awake before).

The thousand, ten thousand, million voices were laborously rehearsing to become one. Slowly, very slowly my ears were beginning to pick up a common note... WE ARE TO BE ONE. OUR FATHER IS ONE. OUR FATHER IS ONE. WE ARE TO BE ONE. And then in a surprising elevation: BE SQUEEZED. BE SQUEEZED. COME TOGETHER NOW... TOGETHER NOW.

Next time I'll promise to stay tuned to continue the story. - What is the center of the earth? How does she now there are paces? Where are the gods? And again: what is the center of the earth? And most of all: are there humans?

Meanwhile I'd like to uncork another enjoyable, light, Nemea by Cavino, but unfortunately it's not possible because I just finished the #0010047, and the #0010046 was enjoyed a lot earlier. But the memory stays.

-Hannu

That mean while has now passed (with the help of Chronos...) and we can continue with Nemea's speech.
