Amid the constantly shifting tides of humanity, even the firmest laws and intransigent ideals will be ground down slowly,
|
|
And even the iron grip of logic, the essence of which is eternal and unchanging, can be shifted by human hearts.
|
|
Jades are the children of the earth, bearing the spirit of the veins whence they came, and the firmness of bedrock.
|
|
As such, a certain person would fashion them into tools, as prayers for the safety and peace of the people.
|
|
|
|
"These emerald-green jades are most pure of quality, and can reflect human hearts — or so it was meant to be."
|
|
"But humans are not pure and spotless, but rather are alive, beautiful, yet ever-changing."
|
|
|
|
Over the years, this person would hear the jades whisper of the fickle interests of mortals,
|
|
And would spend thousands of such years giving silent and slow thought to the joys and sorrows of humanity.
|
|
|
|
Even the long-lived and hard rock would be rendered smoothed-edged by nature,
|
|
And even the seemingly-eternal trio of moons would come to be parted in death...
|
|
|
|
Over numberless days, the jades that read mortal hearts said thus:
|
|
"These transient souls are small yet strong, ever-changing, ever seeking new things."
|
|
"Compared to stable stone, every human is full of infinite possibility and limitless potential."
|
|
|
|
And so, with eyes as if inquiring of one's own children, did he who walked among mortals with immortal jade experience their fleeting joys and cares.
|
|
The jade at his waist shone with a curious light, painting pictures of the transient human realm...
|
|
|
|
But for such ancient beneficence to perceive the hearts and minds of those who wear common flesh,
|
|
Shall surely take a thousand years more of wandering, and the baptism of mortal travail and change... |
