NA New Year 2010: Baby Tut LE
NA Perfume Description
"Meow."
A moment of time stood still. Bastet meowed again at the bird.
"Meow."
"Not now Bastet", Horus said trying to change Baby Tut's diaper, "I've got my feathers full with the future Pharaoh of Egypt. You can have a feather if you want to play with something until we can go outside to the park."
"Purrrr." The baby Bastet said taking the feather and rolling onto her back pushing Horus' feather around with all four little grey paws. Horus lifted his brow slightly as he finished changing the future Pharaoh. Pharaoh or not it was not a good time, he thought.
"There. All done. What say we have a glass of soy milk and maybe some tuna?" Horus and Bastet both loved tuna very very much. The combination probably not a good idea but when they are babies they have to experiment to find what works for them and what does not.
"You have to change him next time." Horus said waddling to the refridgerator.
Bastet stopped playing with the feather and plopped her head to the side looking at Horus walk into the kitchen. She always thought it was funny seeing him waddle around when he wasn't soaring through the skies. Little did she know, Horus found the little grey cat amusing laying on her back with her four paws splayed into the air.
After the snacking was over Horus lifted the future Pharaoh and opened the door of their Temple and all three of them went to the park.
At the park baby Tut played in the grass by the Nile with Bastet not far behind chewing on a little catnip. The catnip was especially fun outside where she could run in circles chasing her tail as baby Tut laughed in hysterics. Horus, from time to time, lifted his head from the latest glyph newspaper to check on the two. He smiled when he saw them having such great fun.
"Babies, we are going to have to go home soon and get cleaned up for a new day will begin and with this special day we will celebrate with the others at the grande party." Horus said. Bastet lifted her head from the grass, "party?". As all three of them returned to the Temple the sun had begun to lower and the stars from the great Goddess Seshat began to glow.
"I see she has come tonite so brightly to lend us light on our way home." Horus said looking up toward the heavens.
"Horus, could you please tell us the story of the stars again?" Bastet said, this time she carried baby Tut over her shoulder walking upright because this is a story - and anything is possible if you open your mind.
"After everyone cleans I will tell the tale of the stars when we all get dressed. We must hurry before the grande party begins." The hawk said hurrying them inside.
After a washing of the future Pharaoh in rose petals and water, Horus bathed himself at the Nile as Bastet cleaned her fur and watched baby Tut until Horus returned.
"Now I dress baby Tut shall I?" Horus said having returned home and began dressing baby Tut in his linens.
"Meow please."
"There he is dressed, you and I have bathed and it is time we begin our walk to the grande party, I shall tell the tale on the way."
On the way the horizon was at the stage where the gold of the sun met the lapis of the night and the stars shined brighter on this brisk nite than any day before.
"It was a nite such as this when the Goddess Nut gave birth to RA transcending him into both night and day and all things in between. The constellation of the God Osiris represented rebirth and as the God RA is being born again into day on another realm of this place the night is being born for us filled with the Stars of Seshat, the Goddess of writing. She has a lover in the brightest nite star, the moon and also the God of wisdom and writing, Thoth. Together Seshat and Thoth give us light so that we see the things we thought we knew from the day...in another light or perspective. We all know the story of the scarab that rolls the sun and back again as everlasting time...well this is the other part of the tale.
...It was one morning that the Great Pharaoh awoke and asked RA why he did not light the Egyptian desert the way he lit it during the day. The Sun God said to the Pharaoh, "in due time all things unseen will become a part of your experience in life and what you thought you saw during my light will change the very same way I must sleep when I close my light at the end of day. Find a way to measure my light and I may tell you more."
The Great Pharaoh took to the task straight away. He asked the staff of the Kingdom to find a way up and back and in-between.
The Pedj-shes (the stretching of the cord) became an instrument of simplicity that became a ceremony to celebrate the space in-between the Heavens and the Earth. The 'merkhet' (the instrument of knowing) became a word that literally meant to reach the stars and back again.
The Great Pharaoh figured this was the best instrument to build upon and dreams of giant Pyramids and Temples and roads and paths from the Nile began to be realized. The Pharaoh became so intrigued with the notion of reaching the stars with this new astrological instrument that he forgot what his initial discussion with the Sun God had been about.
One day the Great Pharaoh sat on his balcony of his Kingdom and he looked longingly out to the world outside his domain and as the sliver of light began to fade he remembered finally he had a quest to fulfill and he realized in this body there are limitations meant on purpose and the answer of light had still not been found.
"Wait, Oh God RA, I have forgotten what it was I sought in knowing why light changes from day and night."
Then a female voice arose, not of RA, but of Seshat.
"I am of the night my Pharaoh, I am the Goddess Seshat - I light the path forward and I quicken the moments in-between. There is no difference in night and day. Life is a dream of wandering. What our Great RA kept from you is a silence only you can understand."
"But I don't understand Goddess Seshat." The Pharaoh said looking longingly upward for answers.
"Time is a place that does not exist. It is not a place you can stay even if you want to. It is not a place you can change your mind in. You must be of the pyramid and find all sides of past, present, future and stillness. The latter a place that is the end of all things. Light is like time. It changes, it shadows over things when it is dim, it brightens colours and thoughts when it is direct, it lights the stars across my chest, it is the opposite of time and yet it is the same."
The Pharaoh did not know what to say. It was a lot to take in. He held his hand against his heart and felt time within. He was beginning to understand."
"Meow."
Baby Tut looked up at Horus that looked up toward the sky. "A new day is to come, and rebirth is not simply a meaning but a moment in a thought where the stars are the same and yet they have changed because we have learned something new."
"I like that story", Bastet said.
"Then we celebrate tonight like it is the New Year and we celebrate every night the same. Perhaps this way we do not take things for what the are, but we become them and appreciate them for what we are with them.
"Burp." Baby Tut said.
"Well put future Pharaoh, well put."
