My Myth Retold #9
Sadly, today is the last day I am going to tell my myth! It has been a very great experience for me to re- share one of my favorite stories and memories. Now I am going to recap my myth The Teacher of the Sages, for the last time. One morning, I was in my garden attending to my greatest prize, my peaches. The sun was shining, the birds were chirping and then there he was, emperor Han Wudi, waiting politely at my Turquoise Pond. We had a somewhat delightful talk. He invited my to the Festival of the Sevens. Accepting the invitation, I sent him my white deer to inform him of my advent. On the day the the festival, I gathered up my opulent gift to give to the emperor and set out on my way to the festival. I traveled on my chariot of purple clouds, clothed in seven layers of blue clouds. At the festival, I gave emperor Han Wudi my opulent gift of five immortal peaches. Being the selfish man he was; he had a choice to either nourish the Tao or simply use it injudiciously. Of course, being who he was, he used it unwisely and that was the last I heard of emperor Han Wudi.
