Tara

33 Love

1	Esus once journeyed along a path in the otherworld, when he was challenged by the smallest of forms.
2	Upon this strange-looking being, Esus declared thus: Stand aside and let me pass, for I have no quarrel with thee.
3	Yet the form continued its belligerence until Esus using his great rod did thrust the being to the side.
4	Before Esus could continue and to his surprise, the form was now ten times larger and more ferocious before.
5	Again, Esus thrust all his strength against this foe and again the nemesis grew now a hundred times larger, dwarfing Esus.
6	Suddenly Ana appeared and said thus: Cease your blows mighty Esus. For the name of your foe is strife.
7	Behold! The more you fight, the more it is fed and the stronger such a monster grows.
8	Verily, if you make peace, despite its madness, it shall surely expire without its sustenance.
