Well diary here i am and its not even noon yet, yet i stand or sit and type out most of the going ons of my life. This sunday was one of those blasé days, nothing interesting happened, but i will write anyways…
After going through all the strenuous activities of the morning me and my family went to church. The service was enjoyable with the women’s teen-challenge coming over to sing and give testimonies. Well that about sums up church this bright sunny Sunday in D-town. Awe, but now the day picks up a little, also it seems to hold a tint of boredom with it. On the way back from church me and my bro were just enjoying some music and a nice drive when it seems instead of the normal lull of music and high mountain peaks we usually see and hear. There was a dense and dark wood; the high tree boughs didn’t seem to let the light down to the floor, instead a dull green glow lit up the narrow trail we now stood upon with nap-sacs slung over our shoulders. Now as confused as you might think we were, and we were confused, but now it wasn’t chaos but and unearthly calm that settled over us. We could not use our rational minds to figure out where we were all we could do is look back and forth on the path to find out little more than we already knew, we were lost and lost quite good. “ so Micah” is all Caleb said to me, but all i could focus on was my surroundings. Lush shades of green rippled through the air like it was charged with an energy, but i knew this was just the wind moving the high sun soaked boughs. It seemed to me that everything was green not just the light coming from the top of this forest but the dirt and flowers of unimaginable shape and beauty that i was just now seeing. In the background caleb still blabing about something I just could not think of anything else but what I was seeing. The path was straight both in front and behind, and since the trees had no branches except for at the top you could see in all directions. Wondrous creatures on both sides of this path bounded by all with wary eyes upon the two newcomers. One of them that caught my eye had golden fur and very long and vengeful talons. Yet it walked on four slender legs and with each step reflected the ambient green light into a rainbow of sorts, but still within the spectrum of green and gold. Its back had spines slightly covered by its lying fur, and its face was the face of a sorrowful hound that had just shed a bounty of fresh tears for its prey that it had just slaughtered. A dangerously beautiful creature indeed I noted before noticing caleb was now gone. “ hey douche bag are you gunna drive or not?” yelled an impatient Caleb. “what? what!” Said I with really confused about this change in events. “umm now buddy” caleb continued. so we drove home. Upon arriving home I decided to go and call Ger to well tell him about my little day dream, and get him over to hang out, and perhaps we might turn it into a video.
After a good few hours of playing many types of basketball Ger and I decided to take a trip down to the river to cool off. Decidedly this was a great decision for as it were the rest of the day had been a bore. The water was fresh and cold a nice and bitter reminder that life is always moving and refreshing anew the experiences that we face. So after the both of us had thoroughly drenched our heads we decided to follow the river upstream. A decision worth taking back, for when an hour had elapsed we met a king and didn’t forgot where we were. There he sat in his sticker bush throne holding his deep purple radish staff. Watching us standing drenched from head to toe in a icy realization that we were not where we ought to have been, and yet there was the river flowing through his great hall. A dark green glow surrounding us with its intoxicating waves of different shades and hue’s. “Do you remember” the kings voice thundered through my mind like a million explosions. Now the realization hit me. “The green forest, but I thought it was just in my imagination?” I said more to myself than to anyone “ Ger do you see this?” Ger just looked around in stunned astonishment and managed to say “where in the world are we, I mean I know we followed the river, but this looks nothing like Washington!” then the king turned his attention to Ger “why do you doubt that all this is what it is, nay it is not Washington but I call it lothniel my kingdom.” with that said he turned to address us both “ you have been chosen to help free my kingdom from an affliction that is not easily overcome, but you have to save it cause there is no one else left in my kingdom to attempt this” “what is required for this task to be completed my king” I ask for a better understanding. With a smile he sits back down on his thrown and for an instance one short period of time try's in vain to answer me but is over taken by the bush his throne is made of. Dumbfounded I try to make sense of what was just told to me, but alas I can not. looking towards Ger, but seeing that he is in the same predicament as I. “so Ger what do you want to do about this? should we save this kings kingdom or our own hides?” I say to try to lighten up the mood a little. “ well Micah I think that we need to first find our way out of this throne room before we too turn into vines and bush.” states Ger matter-of-factly. Smiling at our humor we proceed to what seems the nearest exit. It is but a dark hole in the side of an unending sticker bush wall, yet it is big enough for two grown men to fit through at the same time. “shall we leave” I ask Ger. With a nod we both step into it and are equally greeted by a nice splash and the feeling of water surrounding us. The Sauk river is a fast moving one but bless God we landed in a slow moving pool near the shore. “wholly shit what just happened” yelped Ger gasping for air as we make for the shore to dry off in the Washington sun. “well Ger I am just as clueless as you are to the Whole matter.”
Yes i know that is hard to believe, but to me it now feels all to real. Oh yeah we did get home and proceeded to play video games and eat junk food, and maybe to get the memory out of our heads… The Green Forest awaits……
