The Wood Elves Decloaked.

 Every Friday there is a Burn Wood, Sacred Coffee event in a small, but well prepared Pow Wow ground.  The Three meet together to speak the big talk, and make comment on those things that other's are afraid to speak on.  This fear comes from possible ridicule and disbelief at the things spoken of, but not believed.  However, the Three speak on these things and partake of the Sacred Coffee waiting for "visitors".

Ordinarily bundles of wood used to stoke the sacred fire seem to magically appear at the edge of the Pow Wow ground.  Non of the Three has seen fit to question the origin of the wood bundles.  They just appear at the proper time.  The wood seems to have mystical powers.  It is guaranteed to ignite.  Add a little news paper. ignite with a match and poof, the fire burns bright.  Every time  the wood burns.  

As stated the wood seems to magically appear, it is just there at the right time, in the right place.  Today upon arriving from my teaching duties, a class that goes itself without a hitch, we breathe the deep breath, any who, upon arriving to the Pow Wow ground I inadvertently disturbed the mystical creatures that have been leaving the Magic Bundles of Wood every week.  I drove up the drive and found the Wood Elves placing the bundles of wood in the area just outside the Pow Wow ground.  They were ingeniously disguised in people suits, pretending to be the mystical brother and sister of those who use the grounds.  The Wood Elves disguised in a form that on lookers would not expect to see magical creatures, but I could see..  Now I know the nature of the arrival of the bundles of wood for the Sacred Fire every week.  

Tomorrow we drink the Sacred Coffee for the magical Wood Elves who so eloquently disguised themselves as the Keepers of the fire.  Burn Wood Sacred Coffee day to perform the CSFM which needs no explanation.  Thank you my mystical kin...

Peace and Balance,

 I typed this inquiry into chatGPT: "Tell me a story about ancient man." And this is what it spit out.  This is damn scary as the whole story was created in less than 30 seconds and looks well thought out and written.

Once upon a time, in a land far, far away, there lived a tribe of ancient humans. They were a nomadic people who lived off the land and relied on their skills as hunters and gatherers to survive. They roamed the vast plains and dense forests, following the herds of wild animals and foraging for berries, fruits, and roots.

One day, as they were traveling through a dense forest, they came across a large, mysterious cave. The entrance to the cave was dark and foreboding, but the tribe was curious and decided to explore it. As they ventured deeper into the cave, they came across strange markings on the walls that they couldn't understand. They also found unusual tools and weapons that were unlike any they had ever seen.

As they delved deeper into the cave, they suddenly heard a loud roar that echoed through the tunnels. It was a sound that they had never heard before, and it sent shivers down their spines. They hesitated for a moment, unsure if they should continue, but their curiosity got the better of them, and they pressed on.

As they reached the end of the cave, they discovered a hidden chamber, illuminated by a strange, otherworldly glow. Inside the chamber, they found a giant, prehistoric beast, with sharp teeth and claws. The creature was terrifying, but the tribe was brave, and they stood their ground, ready to fight.

In a fierce battle that lasted for hours, the ancient humans fought the beast with all their might. They used their spears, clubs, and other weapons to defend themselves, but the beast was powerful and cunning. Just when it seemed that all was lost, the tribe's leader had an idea. He grabbed a nearby torch and set it alight, throwing it at the beast. The creature recoiled in fear, and the tribe took their chance, striking it down with their weapons.

The tribe emerged from the cave victorious, having defeated a mighty foe. They carried with them the knowledge and tools they had found inside, and they used them to improve their way of life. From that day on, they became known as the bravest and most resourceful tribe in all the land, and their legend lived on for generations to come.
