Aka is here.

“Good evening, Aka. Where is Ray?”

Soul Ray stands with God,

Yes, we see thy need, and we shall answer in this manner, for we should say unto thee as a parable of the same. And we should say, hark, into all, or listen well unto our words.

For as the farmer went forth and bought, therefore, two fine workhorses, and as he started to leave he saw, therefore, a donkey. He took of the three unto his home, and everyone that passed praised his workhorses. Yet, the beast of burden, the small donkey, they praised not. And because of the praise the farmer groomed and fed his horses well, yet worked his donkey long hours with little food.

The horses became fat and useless unto him, yet the donkey went on working day after day. And at night in his tired stall with little to eat, the donkey would soon fall into his slumber. And the work horses would laugh upon him, and said unto him, “If you were beautiful such as us, then you would not have to work as hard.”

Yet the donkey answered back and said, “I work unto my master for love, not for praise.”

Yet one day, as the farmer loaded the donkey heavy with a burden, the donkey faltered and fell. And the farmer looked down upon the gentle animal and thought to himself, “Oh, what have I done?” And he gave love unto the donkey and he unloaded the burden and gently nourished the donkey back to health.

And then he brought forth his beautiful work horses to put them to work, but they had become fat and lazy and cumbersome. They could no longer work as a team because of their jealousies. And the farmer became angry and did use of the whip. And the horses could not understand of the sudden change. Yet the little donkey came to his feet, and struggled forth to help them pull their burden. And the farmer stopped.

And the horses looked forth unto the donkey and said unto the donkey, “We have not given you praise. We only gave you scorn. Yet you come forth in your weakest state, yet again to help us carry our burden, the burden we should have carried long ago, and we have forgotten how.”

And the donkey grew yet again in strength, and went back to his master, and took from his master the whip and laid it aside. The master stroked the donkey, for he knew in his heart that the donkey was right. Then the donkey went forth before the work horses and taught them once again to carry their burden. But this time they carried it with love as the donkey had.

Because of soul Ray's ill health your reading shall be short, yet we have placed much meaning into the same.

Now is the time of the Cherub.

Awaken soul Ray from his slumber.
