Chapter 1

The Purpose Of Life

At the very beginning of time the wee ones had been given special instructions to pass on job descriptions for all the creatures in the world . However the wee ones had been so busy building castles in the sky they had forgotten to pass on the details to all of the creatures around the forests and fields , the deserts and gardens , the  oceans and mountains all over the world . As a result because  of their lack of information they lacked purpose and  they were unsure about what it was all about , The bees were buzzing but they weren’t sure what else they could do . The cows were mooing but seemed a little lost and just looked at one another while the sheep just went baa baa all day trying to count how many feet were attaching around in the field . The monkeys hung from trees and the donkeys were not at ease and the kangaroos were just jumping back and forward along the track with nowhere else to go. 

Elephants were dazed , crocodiles just lazed about all day with no purpose . Life on earth had just begun and not a song had been sung by a bird and not a word  of knowledge had been shared to all of the creatures of the earth about their specific tasks  .

Suddenly out of the blue a reminder  was sent to the wee ones about the instructions they were given .

They immediately stopped building their castles in the sky and flew down to earth to give instructions on the purpose of life to all of the creatures who were standing around wondering what to do and where to go .

Finally the wee ones brought an answer to all of the questions that the creatures had been asking .

All the bees were told to build beehive homes and to elect their Queen and select  workers to collect the honey and maintain the hives to pollinate seeds , drone bees would hang around waiting a call to entertain the Queen .The bees purpose is to pollinate plants to survive .

The wee ones had so many creatures to advise and some were friendly and some were not . Some could listen while others forgot . But as soon as they knew their purpose in life they were able to accept who they were as well and get on with life .

Cows were made aware the part they had to play in different roles with the food industry and medicine as well as pulling carts and ploughs for humans . Horses and donkeys were told od the help they had to give humans in farming and in transportation as well as assisting with being companions to humans . Dogs were also  were told of the friendship they would have with humans . There was a little confusion among some of the blind dogs who tried to explain to the wee ones that they could see perfectly well but the wee ones explained to them their purpose was to help humans who could not see . Monkeys were also told to be friendly with  humans and show them were the bananas grew as well as assist them with tasks the human would teach them .

One by one every creature was given their purpose to life which made them feel useful and happy to be alive ,

The wee ones did very well at explaining to all the creatures of the earth what they had to do while they were here on the earth . They were all aware of where they had to go and what it would be like for them there  .

After that job was done there was another gathering of the wee ones in Ascentia  to share their own purpose in life for everyone to hear  .

In the sunlight of a forest clearing , beyond the suspended gardens of Ascentia , .

the leaders of each tribe of the wee ones came from every corner of the earth and they had come to discuss any issues that might need to be addressed in a future time for the general good of all who lived on the earth ..

Be Happy was the first of the wee ones who was to address the gathering .

He opened his wings and hovered in the air so that everyone there could see him and then he said ,

“What makes me Be Happy is just who I am and what part I play in life has already been given to me  ?”

The wee ones applauded .

“Then he took a fiddle from the sleeve of his coat and began to play some music that had a wonderful fell of joy as he played which was spread all around the gathering  of the wee ones who started to dance and sing  . The after the music was over there was rapturous applause and Be Happy said , .

“I am just a tool , that brought you the music that made you dance and be happy”.

The next of the wee ones who flew and hovered in the air before the gathering was a wee one called Find Out who opened up a large book that he carried in his hands .

“What makes me Find Out is here in my hands . I have the book of life and from that and I can share the knowledge that will be needed among all the people of the world and I can provide answers to questions for all time and for every age . I shall always be here to show reason and bring truth from the book of life that has been given to me  “

Again thunderous applause was heard and the next of the wee ones to present was

Fear Not who flew over and hovered in the air on his wings that shimmered with light “I am Fear Not and I bring messages of  hope and love for everyone who has lost their way . I bring enlightenment for all in their minds and in their life . I have been given inspiration and  I have seen visions of things unseen . These I am able to share with all the people of the earth .In times of hardship and  trouble I can bring help . Fear Not is why I have purpose in life for everyone”

There was cheering and applause all around that echoed over and over again .

The next of the wee ones flew over and dropped roses petals to the gathering below She was known Get Along  and she began to speak to the gathering ,

“What makes me Get Along gives me purpose to bring resolutions to conflict and peace for the world. . People need to get along with each other and I am always there to provided solutions for families and other relationships . I am there with outer solutions in conflicts between countries with different cultures and beliefs. I have been gifted with making pathways between diversity and building bridges over troubled water to ensued people can get along with each other in this life i. That is my purpose and what makes who I am”

Everyone there lifted up their hands and started singing and chanting ,

Speak Up was the next of the wee ones who flew over to give his purpose to life .

“What makes me Speak Up is to bring encouragement for those who are giving up and words that connect with all who feel abused and abandoned . I speak straight to the heart of the matter and can identify areas that need attention . My purpose is to show what is invisible and speak for those who have no voice of their own ..I am there in every instance to embrace the hurt and inform everyone about justice and reconciliation . That is my purpose in life “

Each speaker was able to share their purpose of life and all of the wee ones there understood what they had to do . As leaders of their tribe’s they would return to their own domain  to share the purpose others had in life .

The gathering was the very first of its kind and from that moment all over the earth

positive results began to happen .

The was a common purpose in  communication that was an essential part of making progress in the world and new understanding was found in every walk of life .

The wee ones in addition to all the creatures of the earth had a purpose to live and be who they were  . Yes life was meant to be just that way and  the way ahead for us all  is to find our purpose to life and keep living together , accepting our differences and work together as one for the greater good  .  .

How simple it is for animals to continue to provide in abundance the products that are essential for the survival of the human race . How easy it is for many creatures to trust and befriend humans and some even protect is from harm .

We all have a purpose to life the wee ones are always there behind the scenes doing the magical things they do and showing us dreams and things from high above . allowing us to be aware of the enchanted as well as the reality of this life in our  imaginations and our inspirations we can appreciate what life is all about .

Let’s all keep an eye open and look for those adventures that await beyond our wildest dreams where the wee ones fly through the sky with books and music and words that speak to our hearts .

In their domain the wee ones will always be part of life like you and me . living in their castles in the sky greeting every generation that comes and goes with knowledge and comforting thoughts  of the purpose life
