Sophion, Uncle Humph and The Third Act of Ineffable Light

Sophion(TM), Uncle Humph(TM) and The Third Act of Ineffable Light(TM)What if some impossible dreams only seem impossible because we have been tilting at the windmills instead of learning to tilt with them?Jesse the Chief Steward(TM) of the Mysteries of Community has gathered many creatures around him.Songs attract singers.Stories attract storytellers.And the kindness of mercy attracts communities.But when Jesse speaks about a better kind of community, not everyone understands. Some creatures imagine castles. Some imagine armies. Some imagine power. And some become suspicious of the strange new Instruments of Peace(TM) that Harit the Dancing Poet(TM) and Aashita the Otter(TM) are building.Jesse sees things differently."It's not the windmills, nor the other instruments of peace that are the problem.""It's forgetting what the wind that moves them-is for."So Harit teaches dances. Aashita teaches Hope. Together, creatures build useful new things, neighboring valleys begin sharing their songs, and even distant pentagons discover that living together in Peace may not be quite as unreachable as they once imagined.The Third Act of Ineffable Light(TM) is a playful story about imagination, cooperation, technology, hope, and learning to work creatively with the forces of change rather than merely fighting against them. It asks what might happen when communities reach beyond what is comfortable toward something that once seemed impossible-and then help one another make it possible.Like every book in The Mabuhay Stories(TM), this tale invites readers to read aloud, illuminate their own lifelong edition, share the story together-and, if they wish, sing along with the 45-second Melody of Grace and Mercy and Peace, Mercy Has No End.Because perhaps the unreachable star-was never unreachable at all.Perhaps we simply needed to reach for it.Together.Mabuhay!
