The Music Of The Seven Tribes

In a distant country there was a valley and in this valley lived eight nomadic tribes. One tribe lived in the very center of this valley and the other seven surrounding the center tribe on the outskirts of the valley. Now in the center tribe there lived a man, whose name meant ‘wondering flame.’

One day God spoke to this man and said, “Here take this.” And God gave the man a harp made of gold.

As the man took the harp from the Lord he replied, “But Lord I do not know how to play the harp.”

And God replied, “Won’t I teach about and give the ability to use the gifts I choose to give?”

The man replied, “Then let it be as you say.”

And so God taught this man, whose name means ‘wondering flame’ to play the golden harp. And after some time the man mastered the harp and played it continuously in his tribal village in the center of that valley.

And the music from the golden harp rose out and above the valley and surrounded all of the other seven tribal villages. The sound brought joy and hope to the tribes. So each of them brought wood and build bonfires to the Lord of Heaven surrounding the center tribal village.

And so, as the man, whose name means ‘wondering flame,’ played the golden harp and the sound of it mixed with the smoke from the seven surrounding bonfires and rose up before the Lord and the Lord was pleased.
