Breathe,

Nature’s Sacred Tree.

We shall heed your dynasty.

Allow us to breath.

Bear new fruit, stem adorned in thorns.

(Praise the Lord, Praise Her work, Old Sacred Tree)

Ancient roots, soil of true seeds.

Let them lay and roost.

Her Fruit, Divine Child…nurtured so sweet.

Prick the thorn, but be warned of what Nkes shall teach.

Creating root, Destroying root, Reincarnated in sleep.

Nature stirs and relieves.

Rebirth thy roots, regain youth and verdant green.

Praise the Child, Her Reincarnated Root.

Greetings, on this beautiful Sacred Day, from the Order and Ordinance. It’s a pleasure to introduce the start of Lord Nakndes’s Period of Watching for this year, Maiye. And with it I’d like settle the intense and rock-solid last few Commentaries with some topics that are a bit more fluid and calming in Nature. While we still remain in the Yrridthmas Echelon, I intend to use this Period to both give pertinent Commentaries about the case at hand but also to provide some more free-flowing and soothing discussions as well. For this first entry of the Period, I would like to cover a bit about a part of the Nakndsian Xyphozon we haven’t really explored all too much, and that’s the Nature of the Lord Herself, Lord Nakndes. We’ve talked fairly extensively of Her fruitful Child, and in relation, we have talked about Hayle Nkes and her warnings of Nature’s Wrath, but we’ve mostly avoided the vibes and aura of the Lord Herself. So let us talk about the curious, whimsical, but also rule-setting energy of Lord Nakndes and of Nature itself.

From the start of this discussion, we can informally refer to the Lord as “Mother Nature” naturally. Lord Nakndes is, in every sense of the word, the matriarch of Nature’s existence itself, and quite literally the Mother of Sacred Child Niinkisia, Child of Nature. We saw, once again, the Hymn attributed to Niinkisia as the opener to both this Period and to this Commentary. Just by going through the Hymn’s message and feeling, we can see references to the “Sacred Tree” of Nature, which can correlate to the ancient standing and authority of Lord Nakndes. In our melodic worship, we shall heed the dynasty of Nature by respecting the authority of the Lord, heeding the teachings of Hayle Nkes, and revering the wondrous and bountiful insight of the Niinkisia. The Hymn prays to the Lord to grant us the breath needed to Live, and we continue to praise the Lord’s work in crafting such a wonderful Natural Force for us to spawn in.

The Hymn is somewhat cryptic, flowing, calming, and serine—as if it were a breeze carrying us, the seeds of Natural Force, through the air awaiting our planting and growth from the rich soils given by the Lord. By understanding the Hymn from this perspective, we can take hints of the Lord’s disposition. She is calm, She has a sense of whimsy as She crafts Nature’s beauty, yet She is unrelenting and not be trifled with as Her forces of Nature hold the eternal power to eradicate all that seeks to conquer the Creating Force. We can take note, however, that the trifling forces of Nature seem to be mostly ponied off onto Nkes’s authority as Hayle, with the more ancient and absolute standing of Nature itself belonging to the Lord exclusively.

We can also make inferences of the whimsical Nature of the Lord through her beautiful Child, Niinkisia. When revisiting the Sacred Lesson pertaining to him, we see that Niinkisia is a soft-spoken and mellow being with outwardly dull eyes but an internal insight and perspective to see the true root of Nature. While bombarding Hayle Nkes with inquiries about Nature’s forces, we witness Niinkisia’s curiosity be tempered by divine insight. Finally, we witness the daring moment the Child pricks his own finger on the thorn of a flower in the eternal divine gardens of Evernleth to teach himself what the wrath of his own Mother’s Nature feels like—doing so to gain the insight to know when to intervene to protect Nature from the Hubris of mortalkind. Niinkisia otherwise keeps his whimsical, soft-hearted, and intuitive Nature and he and Nkes continue to frolic in the meadows of Evernleth, inspecting more of Lord Nakndes’s bountiful creations.

We may draw some inferences from that exchange as to the whimsical and beautiful sides of Lord Nakndes’s energy and influence. We can even see this in the beauty of our natural landscape itself. We witness the blooming of Spring blossoms, the greening of the verdant trees, plains, forests, and jungles. We witness the beauty of the flowers, and gorge in the warmth of the Sun’s rays. Through these very simple observations, we see the Lord’s whimsy and beauty through those works of Nature we often take for granted as simply parts of daily life. It is through these observations that we can gain a sense of gratefulness and appreciation for Nature itself, and seek to preserve these wonderful gifts from our own Hubris. In later entries, I would like to talk about how Nature itself is showing its wrath, but to understand the wrath of Nature, we must first bear witness to the grand beauty of Nature’s miraculous form, and give praise to the Lord’s work. She is the rule-make, and Her rules are not to be trifled with, but the Lord is one of whimsy and wonder—and we can appreciate the fruits of Her work and seek to protect those works as a Sacred duty.

Thank you for joining in on this Period’s opening discussion. We’ll use this Commentary as a reference once we begin talking about Nature’s wrath a bit more. For now, we should take these words into consideration and truly take a deep look at our surroundings today and reflect on how Life would be without such rich resources. I shall wish you a wonderful Sacred Day!
