Steadygain's Groove and Trip Pad

[Steadygain]

"Mamikin, stay up here and watch me. The deer has the exact same language as the horse, so I can use Monty's methods to break this wild deer". Then Steady flew down and landed as a human.

...The deer looked up in shock, all the muscles tight and ready to spring. Steady slowly moved to show himself - to befriend her - then turned back to distance himself. The deer's muscles relaxed and the deer now seemed intrigued. Again Steady moved in such a way that his body language told the deer, "I really want to be your friend, but I'm not certain I can trust you or if you're friendship is worth it." For a horse (or deer) this was a challenge they couldn't resist and they were fully determined to prove their friendship was worthwhile.
...Mamikin watched as the deer began to approach Steady and he turned slightly - his body language saying, "Humm, now what do I want to do - have a friend or just leave". All the more the deer was drawn closer. Steady gave the deer a few minutes to make its friendship known, then approached the deer in a manner that said, "I'd really like to be your friend but you're going to have to prove you really mean it". With this the deer showed its submissiveness. It stood still as Steady rubbed his hand over her head, neck, and body. Steady conveyed he was very impressed and asked the deer for one last favor, for her to lay down for him. The deer complied and layed down and Steady in turn knelt down and gently stroked her; showing his sincere appreciation and deep honor. He then walked a few feet away, jumped in the air, and flew back to Mamikin.
...Mamikin was speechless for awhile and just stood there on the branch watching the deer. Then she looked over and said, "Steady, that is the most amazing thing I've ever seen in my life".
..."There is nothing like it Mamikin. To break a wild deer is way beyond breaking a horse. I wish I could describe the feeling. There is no experience that I can think of that even compares to meeting a wild deer and having it befriend you on that level. The bonds that are formed and experienced are as pure as anything you could imagine. It is a pureness that would be similar to encountering God Himself; a miricle that can only be experienced and felt - but there is no way to describe what happens inside you". Steady talked on and on - his words just flowing without giving any thought to what he was saying - his expression was like nothing Mamikin had seen before; a tranquility and peace and also excitement and estacy. Then he was silent; reflecting.
...Mamikin was struck by what he shared and absorped everything like a sponge - weighing each word and pondering on everything. Then Steady looked at her and asked, "Would you like to find another wild deer and give it a try"?
..."Oh Steady, I'd love to experience something like that but I doubt I could do it".
..."Mamikin were you watching how I did it"?
..."Of course I was watching you and paying very close attention to your every move".
..."Listen Sweetheart, I'm not trying to give you a hard time but would you mind going through that with me? I mean can you describe what you saw"?
...Mamikin went over every detail and was able to describe the deer's muscle tension and even the expression in the deer's face. She described Steady's every move to the tee. When she finished she felt like an accomplished musician who just performed a flawless recital.
..."Maminkin, you do understand. You know the whole procedure with your heart and life. You will do wonderful." Then Steady took off with Mamikin right behind him and a few minutes later landed on another branch and motioned towards another deer.

 

[Steadygain]

...Mamikin was more drawn to that deer than anything she has ever known. She knew it was hers and it was full of grace and beauty.
...Steady said, "Follow your heart Mamikin and let your energy do miricles". That filled her to overflowing and the next second she was standing on the ground making contact and communicating in terms the deer fully understood and appreciated.
...Steady watched it all, just as she had done with him. After Mamikin got the deer to lay down and was standing and getting ready to fly - Steady flew down to join her.
...Mamikin had never looked like this before. Never had she had this degree of peace and triumph. Never had she felt so connected and full of love - such exhileration. This was an experience beyond her wildest dreams - way beyond anything she could ever have hoped for. There were no words to describe it - yet somehow it had to come out.
...Steady lightly carrassed her face, she was more beautiful than she had ever been in her entire life. He leaned down and gave her a warm embrace, then kissed her lightly on the cheek and asked, "Are you ready to see the rest"?
...Mamikin just smiled dreamily. It was the most beautiful smile he'd ever seen and nodded her head.
...The next minute they were up on the branch.

 

[Steadygain]

...Steady asked Mamikin what it was like to tame the deer.
...Mamikin said, "It was the purest experience I've ever known. It's like I was one with the deer and she was so beautiful. She trusted me so fully, I couldn't help but express my love and admiration and I know she sensed it and I could sense her gratitude. It was like both of us were overwhelmed with the bonds we had and it gave the greatest enjoyment I could imagine." She paused for a moment and said, "Thank you Steady, thanks for everything I really enjoyed it."
..."Me too Mamikin, I thoroughly enjoyed it." Steady gave her a minute to soak it all in then said, "From here on you and I should find our own way through the trees so we won't be following each other. It will way more fun for you to weave between the trees and branches blazing your own trail than following me. We need to go this way and just keep flying more to the right as you gain your confidence. Don't be in a hurry to get out however because the playground is still a good ways from here."
..."The playground ? What do you mean Steady", Mamikin said with great surprise.
..."That what I always think of the area where we're going. There are lots of stone structures and natural arches to fly through and it's like a big playground for a hawk. Bryce Canyon is especially fun. Anyway I'll stay fairly close so we'll not lose each other. Go as fast or slow as you want."
...Mamikin had somewhat of a rebellious streak, which Steady wasn't aware of. She didn't like the way that sounded and thought I'll show him. "OK, well I'm ready - so let's get started" and she took off through the redwoods.
...Steady did his best to keep up with her but it was really hard. She didn't stay in the redwoods nearly as long as he thought she would. Instead she quickly went to the next set of trees and flew in between them as fast as lightening. He was amazed at how well she did, especially her first time throught the trees, but she kept going like she'd done it all her life. He tried to stay about 10 feet to her left but had to keep looking hard for a spot to fly through and keep up. Mamikin quickly went to the most challenging section and just kept going. Steady kept brushing his wings against the branches and finally gave up and decided it would be way easier to just follow her. It wasn't nearly as easy as he thought however, as Mamikin would change directions so fast and fly through spaces with only a fraction of an inch to spare. He was getting tired and it was getting harder and harder to see where she was going and maintaining the speed he needed to keep up. Then his head crashed into a branch and he awkwardly fell to the ground.
...Mamikin heard him hit the branch and the sound of him dropping against the branches to the ground. She got to a decent clearing right after it happened and somehow spun in a circle and went back to Steady a few seconds later.
...He was laying on the ground looking up at the branches and catching his breath. When Mamikin walked over to him he was so startled it made him shutter. "My gosh Mamikin, how in the world did you get here so fast? It looked like you were going 200 miles an hour and I thought it would take at least 15 seconds to slow down enough and find the space to turn around". He looked at her in shock. "I'm just amazed, wow you are really good at this".
...Mamikin knelt down beside him and looked through his scalp and neck for cuts or statches but didn't see anything. "Steady, are you OK"?, she asked as she lightly rubbed his back.
...Steady said, "The only thing I hurt was my pride. I'm sorry Mamikin, this is a little embarrassing but I'm fine. Really - thank you for asking."
...Mamikin sat down in front of him and felt awfull about what had happended. "Steady, I'm really sorry. It was all my fault. I kept finding the tightest places to fly though and just kept going as fast as I could trying to lose you - wanting to show you up."

 

[Steadygain]

...Steady was quiet for a moment and then started laughing. It started with just a little laugh and then got louder and louder and within a minute he was doubled over holding his stomach. Once he got started it was hard to stop and he rolled on the ground for several minutes.
...Mamikin was so taken by his laughter and of course laughter is so contageous that soon she was laughing just as hard and like Steady, once it got started it just kept going.
..."Wheww, Oh that was so funny", Steady shouted. He was on top of the world. It was so nice to see him that happy. Then he sat up and looked at Mamikim. "Sweetheart every time I fly through these trees I always pretend that someone is behind me trying to catch me or to keep up and so I go at the fastest possible speed and go through the tightest places I can fit through and always picture my captor hitting the branches and falling to the ground. It never fails because I know there is no way anyone would be able to shift in that fraction of a second to make it through."
...He then got up and walked behind her and sat down stretching his legs out around her and pulled her against his chest with his arms around her. Then he put his chin over her shoulder so his face was close to hers and lightly humed (kind of like a sigh). "Mamikin, you are something else", he said softly. Then he held her a little tighter and started giving her soft gentle kisses on her neck and then leaned back and just held her. After several minutes he leaned in, gave her another kiss, and asked, "Are you ready to move on"?
...Mamikin didn't say a word. She just shook her head slightly back and forth and leaned back into Steady. Then said in the sweetest manner, "Let's just stay here a little while longer, OK"?
...Steady held her firmly for a few seconds and gave her another kiss then relaxed and just sat there taking in the moment. It was wonderful - very peaceful and just felt great. After another minute they both stood up and Steady said, "I'll go first and you follow me. I promise I'll make it nice." And with that he jumped and flew up between the trees with Mamikin right behind him.

 

[Steadygain]

This is a story like the "Yearling", ain't it?

Hello my dear brother.

I'm not familiar with the Yearling. This is a story I'm making up as I go - like pretty much all my stories. Dennis, want to let you know I really appreciate your wit - you come up with some of the coolest stuff. I especially liked your comment: Oh you said the "H"word - when someone mentioned Clinton. That's great man, you really come up with some good ones.

 

[Steadygain]

"I'll go first and you follow me. I promise I'll make it nice." And with that he jumped and flew up between the trees with Mamikin right behind him.

...Steady took off and stayed with the more challenging trees and after a few minutes flew out of the treetops, with Mamikin right behind him. Just ahead was the natural arch.
..."That arch is the gateway to the playground. To start we need to treat it like a huge obstacle course and fly around as fast as we can."
..."That sounds great to me Steady. Do you want me to take the lead to keep you going faster or do you want to take it"? Mamikin felt more and more at ease with Steady and enjoyed teasing him a little.
...Steady just grinned and shook his head a little, then looked at her for a moment and said, "OK now it's time to fly" and both of them flapped their wings as strongly as they could and flew under the natural bridge at what seemed like the speed of a bullet. Once the fast flying got started it was hard to let up and both of them zig zagged between the hundreds of structures at the fastest possible speed. It really was like an obstacle course - a giant maze that went on for miles. What made it so beautiful was the layers of color that formed the whole canyon. Light brown, dark brown, white, yellow, a reddish brown all with their own distinct layers and they blended so perfectly together. Then Steady flew to the top of a large monument 8 stories high with a rock the size of a bus on the top.
...They landed in the center and Steady suggested they sit in the middle and not take the chance of making the rock fall or slipping off. "Don't be silly Steady", Mamikin said as she walked over to the edge and sat down. "This place is very solid. There's nothing to worry about."
...Steady walked over and sat next to her. "You're something else. Here I was trying to look out for your safety and wanted to make sure I didn't take you out of your comfort zone - and you're just like me. The views from here are definately the best." For the next 10 minutes they pointed out various formations and what they appeared to represent. There were the 3 wise men, the queen, camals, soldiers and all kinds of things that seemed to magically turn to stone. Steady then suggested they fly a little higher and do some comfortable sight seeing.
..."That's a great idea Steady" Mamikin said and within half a minute the were flying slightly above the maze taking everything in. When they saw something they really liked they either used their binocular vision or flew closer - or both.
...Steady pointed out a large pool of water and said, "That is the best swimming place I've ever found. Would you like to take a dip in the water and have a little fun"? He looked over and could tell from her expression that she was more than ready. Within a minute they stood at the edge of the clear water looking down to the smooh stone bottom.

 

[Steadygain]

Within a minute they stood at the edge of the clear water looking down to the smooh stone bottom.

...Steady said, "I'll show you the best place to go in" and walked on another 20 yards. "The water is cool - but refreshing and feels wonderful. This is the deepest spot so you can dive off the edge and not have to worry". Then he dove in and swam under the water about 10 yards and came back above the water. "Oh Mamikin, it really feels good", he said with a smile.
...Mamikin stood at the edge, gently sprang her knees and dove in the water. The water was just cool enought to be refleshing. It felt wonderful and was very clear. She then swam towards one end of the pool with gentle strokes - just enjoying the water.
...Steady swam on his back, stretching his arms out and forcing them down by his side as he kicked; and traded off with the back strokes until he reached the end of the pool. Then he swam to the other end with his back barely above the water, legs kicking and comming up for a breath every 3 or 4 strokes.
...Each remained in their own little world for at least 20 minutes until they mutually met in the middle. Mamikin was looking in the horizon taking in the beauty as Steady swam up behind her.

 

[Steadygain]

...They spun each other in the water for a few minutes and then danced together for another half hour. Afterwards they swam to the edge and got back out.
...Steady said, "I really had a wonderful time, thank you so much."
..."Me too, Steady. Everything has been wonderful - this is the most perfect day I can remember."
...Steady gave her a gentle kiss and lightly carrassed her face. "Let's play in the river for awhile". And he was off and flying with Mamikin right behind him.
...A few minutes later they were flying up in the sky and Steady motioned towards one of the larger boulders in the river. That's my favorite one because it's flat and the water near the rock is fairly shallow so it's easy to get in.
..Almost immediately after landing Steady stressed how perfect the rock was for bathing in the sun and Mamikin layed on her stomach near the edge of the rock.
..Steady was laying on his stomach as well and got up after 10 or 15 minutes and noticed the warm pink skin of Mamikin's back. He stepped in the water and stood at the edge of the rock right next to her then dipped his hands in the water and began massaging her neck and shoulders and on down her back.
...The cool water against her warm skin felt wonderful, but his strong fingers massaging her muscles all the more just made her melt. She could not think, her mind was so at peace that she just drifted off. The sound of the river was so soothing and now the way the water felt against her back and all the tension evaporating - she doesn't know how long it took but she drifted into the most peaceful sleep.
...She was awakened by Steady's gentle kiss against her cheek. "It time to get going Mamikin." She opended her eyes and felt the cool breeze against her skin.
..."Wow Steady, I fell asleep. I'm so sorry".
..."Why would you appologize for that, I think it's wonderful! How are you feeling."
..."I feel better than ever, like a battery that's fully recharged. It's fantastic Steady, I feel refreshed and full of life." Mamikin stretched her arms fully then jumped up and said, "OK, I'm ready whenever you are".
...Steady pointed to the cliff and said, "That's where we want to go. I'm getting tired of taking the lead so I'll follow you." Moments later both were flying up towards the sky until they landed on the cliff.

 

[Asylum]

excellent tale..

reminds me of the online 'game' SecondLife' kinda..

http://secondlife.com/

I work with a guy who invited me to check it out and it's a lot like your story..

 

[Steadygain]

Thank you Asylum - it is excellent only because I am trying to reflect the underlying personality of a dear wonderful lady.

Dennis, it's been a long time since I've seen LOST - but I do remember it as being something I could be very creative with. I would probably make it way more Sci-Fi with a deep romantic flare. So the ones in charge would never let me get involved.

 

[Steadygain]

Moments later both were flying up towards the sky until they landed on the cliff.

...Shortly after landing they looked over the cliff and retraced the entire adventure. Mamikin pointed to the boulder in the river and said, "Do you see that rock over there"?
..."Do ya mean the large flat one surrounded by shallow water"?
..."Yep, that's the one. That's my favorite".
..."Why is that"?, Steady asked.
..."It's my favorite place to fall asleep", Mamikin said with a laugh; which brought Steady to laugh as well.
...Steady pointed at some trees in the distance. "Do you see the trees over there near the natural arch"?.
...Mamikin stood near so she could see where he was pointing. "Yeal, what about them"?
..."Those are my favorite trees", Steady said with a gleeful smile.
..."Why is that, Steady"?
..."Those are the best trees to lose a lot of features, smash your head on a branch and go crashing down, and then ...Steady started laughing so hard he couldn't finish his sentence..and then...everytime he tried he laughed harder and harder until he doubled over and fell on the ground and finally in between laughs shouted "and then almost pee your pants from fright after you hit the ground".
...Mamikin was already laughing almost as hard as Steady by the time he finished his sentence. When she pictured the way she frightened him shortly after he fell - the shock on his face and the way he shuttered - she fell to the ground holding her stomach - and both of them laughed until they were almost out of breath.
...Steady stood up first and pulled Mamikin up. "Let's go over to the clearing", Steady said; and they held hands and walked to the middle.
...Mamikin looked up smiling and said, "Let's lay down together and see how far down we go."
...Steady grinned and said, "That a great idea" and the next moment they were laying down together.
...They felt the ground begin to rumble and lower down; and Mamikin said, "Steady, what's the matter with you"?
..."Nothing! , Why do you say that"?
..."Because the ground in moving down, so it has to be you".
..."Me? It wasn't me, plus it only went down 3 inches", Steady said and tickeled her sides.
...Mamikin roared in laughter. "Steady stop"!
...They layed there for a minute just looking at each other and admired the twinkle in each other's eyes.
...Mamikin broke the silence by asking, "If I could do anything for you what would it be"?
...Steady looked over with a courious expression and said, "Why, will you do whatever I ask"?
..."Yes I will. I promise I'll do whatever you want".
..."Really, are you serious"?
..."Of course, I promise. I really mean it".
...Steady sat up, looked over and said, "OK, I want to lay down with my head in your lap and be a child."
...Mamikin was shocked. "What"? "How would I be doing something for you?" "Steady, are you serious"?
...Steady looked at Mamikin with the most innocent and sincere expression. "Just let me be a child and don't hurt me."
...Mamikin had never heard Steady sound like that or ever seen such pain in his eyes. As he looked at her his chin began to quiver and his eyes teared up. "Oh Steady", she said as she held him in her arms. "I would never hurt you. Never would I do that. Oh Sweety - Oh please know I would never hurt you in a million years."
...Then Steady layed down on his side with his back to her and rested his head on her lap. His shoulders began shaking as he started to cry.
...Mamikin had no idea what was going on. She ached for him and longed to take his pain. She gently rubbed his back and softly said, "It's OK Steady, I won't let anything hurt you". Steady cried even harder when she said that and sometimes gasped for air. His tears were soaking her skirt and leg.
...She gently rubbed the back of his neck, lightly stroked his hair and rubbed his back a little longer. After a while his crying died down to occasional whimpers.
..."Steady, come up here and lay down next to me so I can see you".
...The next moment they were laying on their sides looking in each others eyes. Mamikin's heart broke when she saw his expression and started crying. They stayed like that another 10 minutes until he finally stopped crying and she occasionally carassed his face.
...Steady then reached over and gave her a big hug. "Mamikin, I feel like a brand new person. I haven't had a cry like that since I can remember. Wow! I feel so much better, thank you".
...Mamikin held him just as tightly. "Steady, I am always here for you. Don't ever forget that, I'm here whenever you need me."
...Steady looked at her with a beautiful smile - a happiness that permeated everything. "That I know for sure, and I'm here for you." Then he stood and helped Mamikin to her feet.

 

[Steadygain]

...As they began to walk towards the cliff Steady suddenly remembered; "Oh wait, I forgot about the song"!
..."The song, what are you talking about"? Mamikin asked; half surprised and half confused.
..."Mamikin, remember how great it felt when you turned into a hawk; how you just wanted to stay up here and soar for hours and hours"?
..."Of course I remember , and that's exactly how I felt. But what does that have to do with a song"?
..."I'm getting to that. Well you know how I told you the flying was so much better down there and how much more fun you had"?
...Mamikin refleced on the moment she first turned into a hawk and everything that followed. She tried to convey this to Steady but was so overwhelmed with emotions that she started crying and couldn't stop. Steady then took her in his arms with one hand behind her head and the other arm held her back so she was tightly against him. His arm not only held her it also lifted her up so she was fully supported by his strength. It was a wonderful feeling that went so perfectly with the memories of turning into a hawk and everything that happened afterwards. Her head rested gently against his chest as tears streamed down her face; they were the most wonderful tears she ever had in her life. She soaked in the moment and loved the way he made her feel so free and wonderful. He seemed to sense exactly what she needed and loved her with such a rich love and was so tender and gentle. She simply let herself go and totally lost herself in his embrace and remained that way without the slightest thought of how long she stayed there. Never had she felt more wonderful, more loved, or more complete.
...When the tears stopped she said, "Steady everything that happened from the moment I jumped off the cliff to this moment right now has been the most wonderful part of my life. There is just no way possible that anything could ever go beyond this".
...Steady held her a little tighter as he rocked her back and forth from side to side and said, "Mamikin whatever you've experienced so far is nothing compared to what follows. By far you're greatest experience is yet to come". Then he set her down.
..."Steady, I just don't see how I could take anymore. I'm afraid I'll burst"!
..."Mamikin, you have to trust me on this; and you're about to find out that everything I'm saying is true. There are angels everywhere. They are all around us and they have the most beautiful voices you could imagine. The first time you hear them you can't help but stand and look around because the voices are comming from all around and it totally capitates you. When you hear them sing it lifts you to a higher plane so you feel like you're floating in space".
...Steady then layed down on his back and said, "The best way to enjoy the angels is laying on your back and closing your eyes. This is the ultimate, to just lay back and totally give yourself up to the music. By shutting your eyes you shut out any distraction. Oh and please don't talk because we only get one song".

 

[Steadygain]

...Mamikin looked down at Steady; his expression was unbelievable in the extent of joy and anticipation that filled him. Then the singing started with women's voices (and possibly men's in higher ranges). The voices were crystal clear - from all directions and filled the sky.

"In the jungle, the might jungle, the lion sleeps tonight" ​

...Steady was right; hearing the voices sent a jolt of electricity running through her and made her feel like she was being lifted off the ground. She quickly layed on her back next to Steady, closed her eyes and gave everything over with the same wonderful expression.​

"Ahhhhhh......Ahhhhhh......Ahhhhh"​

...The voices echoed each other; picking up where the other left off and then repeated:​

"In the jungle, the mighty jungle, the lion sleeps tonight"​

...Then all the angels joined in together and it was so full and beautiful. The voices must have doubled when the men joined in with:​

"Hey hey, a wing a wet, a wing a wet, a wing a wet..."​

...And all the woman angels sang:​

"Weee Ohh Weee Ohhh OH Weee Ohh Bum Ba Way..."​

...The most beautiful music tied it altogether and it was perfect.​

...The song repeated this sequence over and over with: "In the villiage the peaceful village the lion sleeps tonight"; and "Hush my darling don't cry my darling the lion sleeps tonight". There may have been other phases but Mamikin didn't remember. Part of the beauty of the song was it's simplicity - but it was sung so beautifully that she couldn't imagine a better song - especially for that moment. Then it all ended as quickly as it began.
...Mamikin looked over at Steady and said, "Oh Steady that was the most beautiful song ever. How did you come up with that"?
..."That was a time when life was perfect. At that time I thought I was very special to God and that He rejoiced in my existence and felt He was honestly in the very core of my being. Back then I basically knew nothing but happiness and no real tragities had ever taken hold of me. I was innocent, pure, and undamaged". Then Steady was quiet for a few moments and looked back at Mamikin and said, "Can I hold you for just a little while"?
...Mamikin opened her arms invitingly, "Oh Steady, you can have anything you want - anything"! Her expression was filled with the richest love and the greatest tenderness. She held Steady and he soaked it up and held her in the same manner. ​

 

[Steadygain]

...The embrace was both healing and endearing and when it was done both of them felt free and full of life. It was a wonderful feeling that consumed them as they returned to the cliff.
...To see Mamikin's expression as they approached the cliff compared to how she appeared when they got to the cliff is 'Day and Night'. As the sights came in view she was devastated. The valley was filled with junk. It was the largest junk yard on the entire Earth. It covered the boulders in the river, was between the redwoods and scattered amoung the other trees and filled the hills and canyons. Except for the treetops and snowcaps - almost every square inch was covered with various appliances and other disguarded items.
...Mamikin was horrified; her heart sank and with great sadness she asked, "Steady, how could this happen"?
...Steady sat on the edge of the cliff and motioned for her to join him. "Mamikin, there is a big difference between God and people. God sees the good in all of us and longs to fill our lives with true Peace and a Joy that reaches to our deepest inner being so that it radiates throughout the rest of us. God has nothing but the purest Love and more than anything else wants us to know that Love , to be filled with it, and let it spread amoung one another in a humble and respectful mannner. Honestly there is no one who could long for you to have these things more than God because God made you and everything in the universe was brought forth through God's power. So as wonderful as all this sounds - please know that even before you could long to have it - God longs to give it to you; in fact God has given all these things and so much more".
..."Oh Steady, tell me how. How has God given us these things? How do we obtain it"?
..."The only way obtain all these things is through the cross. The cross is God's offering for you and everyone else - and it signifies the most complete and greatest possible sacrifice ever. For it is through this that God's Gift of Genuine Life is offered to you and by which you can come to be fully a part of God."
..."Steady, church is really not my thing. I prefer to find God in nature and sense the presense of God in a different manner."
..."This is where you and God have a lot in common. Sweetheart, there are ministers, preachers, priests, rabbis, and chruch leaders who violate and harm innocent children; even their own children. They lie, cheat, steel, have affairs, get into porn, drugs, alcohol and everything else - just like the ungodly and the uncaring - so deep down there is little difference between them. To some degree they may be considered even worse because they wear a mask and expect us to respect them because of that mask; but what are they like underneath that mask"?
..."Oh Steady, that's exactly how I feel."
..."And that's a good question Mamikin, because that's exactly what God wants to know - but God does know - for with God there is absolutely no doubt what's behind there. And do you know how God measures that? How God is able to set the guage to see who is real and who is not? Do you know how God determines who is pure and who is worthy, compared to the unpure and those that are not worthy"?
..."No I don't Steady, I really don't have a clue."
..."It is done through the cross. The cross is the ultimate standard by which God measures everything. If we come to God through the offering that was so freely given on our behalf then we become part of that cross and this is what ultimately transforms us into a new being altogether - a being that is now fully a part of God and whenever God measures us the cross is evident. We can not escape our human condition Mamikin, and therefore we will frequently wear one mask or another depending on where we are. But underneath that mask is the cross - for those who have come to accept it."
...Steady gave Mamikin a few moments to reflect on what he had shared and she remained silent - contemplating on everything. Then Steady looked at her earnestly and asked, "Would you like to receive that cross and find the Life that God longs to give you; to find the Peace that only God can give and be filled and empowered with the Truest, Purest, and most Complete Love and Life"?
..."Oh Steady, I would love to have that", Mamikin said with the sincerest expression.
...Steady held her hands, and said, "Then now is the time. For God has offered it to you and longs for you to have it. All we have to do is pray that God will grant us the Faith and the Belief needed to accept it. If we Believe in God and except the offering God has already given - we will find the cross and it will transform us and become our measure because we will be joined with all the cross offers. It is only in letting go of ourselves and finding this offering that we come into the New Life and all the Love that Life provides."

...Mamikin thought, "Surely it can't be this easy" but she prayed with all her heart and she felt it all happen. It started in the center of her being and quickly spread throughout. She never felt so pure and clean - so totally renewed - so full of life and such Joy, Peace, and LOVE. LOVE was everywhere - it filled her and was all around her.
...When she opened her eyes she looked at Steady with the most beautiful expression he'd ever seen. Her eyes sparkled with life and happiness - she was overflowing - it was wonderful. Then she turned her head to follow the light. In the center of the junk yard was a cross that must have been half a mile wide and extended up into the sky. It was the brightest and purest white light that radiated as brightly as the sun - but no UV waves - so it was pleasing to the eyes and totally capitaved everything.
...Mamikin's mouth dropped open in amazement, and she said, "Wow Steady, look at that cross".
...Steady chuckled and said, "Wow that's great! So now you see it. Do you see all the carts hovering around the junkyard"?
...Mamikin looked throughout the terrain and noticed what looked like small flying saucers all over the place; thousands of them. "Steady, what are those"? she asked in surprise.
...Steady looked at Mamikin and held her hand. "It is a long story, but one you will love. Let me take you to someone who can explain it way better than me." Then Steady pulled her to her feet and said it's time to fly like hawks again.
...They flew towards the base of the cross, going as fast as they could, and only when they were within 50 yards did Mamikin see the opening. Steady shouted in excitement, "Follow me"! and the next moment they were in.
...As soon as they entered the cross their muscles were paralyzed and they were able to see - but they couldn't even speak. They were drawn to the top by an unseen current - a type of electricity that consumed them and directed their every movement until they landed on their feet in a clould that stretched forever. When they landed their power returned and they moved as if nothing had happened. It was all new for Mamikin and she was speechless.
...Thousands of angelic beings were approaching them - all being led by someone who looked very familiar. Then Mamikin heard his familiar voice "*******, my Dear Sweet *******", he cried outloud. Tears began to flow down her cheeks, "Daddy"?, Mamikin said in amazement and disbelief. He picked her up and spun her in circles. His excitement was evident to everyone, "Oh *******, I am so glad you finally made it. I have waited for you night and day; longed for you with every passing minute and now at last you are finally here."
...Now all disbelief had totally vanished and Mamikin was beside herself. She threw her arms around him and said, "Oh Daddy, Daddy I have missed you so much. Oh this is the most wonderful thing I could ever imagine"! She just clung to him as he hugged her and spun her a little longer and then set her down.
...His face was filled with excitement. "Isn't it wonderful what God has allowed us to do and all the work we'll be able to do to bring God the highest Honor and Glory."
...Mamikin was puzzled and looked a little confused. "Daddy, what are you talking about"?
...Mamikin will never forget his expression - so full of shock and surprise - as though he had just received the best Christmas present imaginable. "You mean Steady didn't tell you? Oh that is so wonderful. Oh thank you - thank you." And he looked over in Steady's direction and shouted, "Blessings be with you my friend"!
...Steady was walking towards the Lord. His back was to them but he waved his hand and shouted, "May the same blessings return to you and many more."
...Then Mamikin saw the radiance of the Lord and looked into His eyes. She was transfixed - He saw through her and knew everything about her - yet she felt the most incredible peace and acceptance. She was drawn to Him; His expression was the most open invitation - one she could not resist and she started floating towards Him.
...Mamikin's father quickly stood in front of her and said, "Do not look at Him or you will be drawn to remain with Him and we need you for the work at hand."

 

[Steadygain]

...Mamikin weighed her father's words concerning her opportunity to show such love and compassion for a hurting world. Her father was the leader in this endeavor and sought the Lord's blessing to carry it out. He then gathered thousands of angels to help him and they set out to find the treasures that others had disguarded.
...After scanning virtually every inch of the world they collected every appliance or item needing only minor adjustments or that were already in perfect working order and brought them to the junk yard. The end goal was to freely give to all in need and use these in a manner that would benefit everyone. Every item was prayed over and anyone receiving an item would not only benefit from its use, but also have a blessing fill their home.
...Mamikin was called to be the source that connected the junkyard to the population at large. She was to be the Director and Leader in this International Effort to serve the needy. Nothing was to ever travel on the grounds of the junk yard; either by car, truck, or on foot. The carts were designed to hover over the ground and when all the items and appliances has been distributed the Earth would be exactly as it was before. No footprints, tire tracks or anything else would change the environment.
...Mamikin hardly knew what to say; it was beyond anything she could have ever hoped for. She was in awe - wondering how could she be so blessed to be chosen for such a huge project. Working with her father and reaching out to millions across the world.
...As she was processing everything her father asked, "What do you think of Steady"?
..."I could not imagine loving anyone more than him. He is wonderful, but he already taken".
..."What do you mean, he is already taken"?
..."I mean he is not available".
..."*******, Do you see where he is now"?
..."He is knelling before the Lord"
..."That is right, and he is all by himself - just he and the Lord".
..."How did you know that? You haven't even looked in his direction."
..."Here we are all connected and the one that is closest to the Lord always transmits his feelings and energy - because they are the best ones for the rest of us to soak up. Right now he is asking to remain with you until all the work is done."
..."He is"?, Mamikin asked with great surprise.
..."Oh my sweet *******, the only way he can be taken is if the Lord takes him. The only way he can not be available is if the Lord is using him for something else. Steady is pleading with all his heart to remain with you. Reminding Him of how lonely you would be without a helper and he is stressing how good you are for him."
..."Are you sure that's what's going on"? Maminkin said, almost laughing - she was so happy.
..."I am absolutely positive and he is now getting the blessing."
...Mamikin looked over as the Lord placed His hands on Steady's shoulders and leaned down to tell him something. Then He sat back in His place.
...Steady rose slowly to his feet and humbly bowed before the Lord and quietly walked away. His expression was full of happiness and he had a glory and radiance similar to the Lord after having been so close. As he approached them he picked up his pace and was jumping and running like a deer.
...He was there before she even knew it and picked her up and spun her around. "Oh Mamikin, I get to stay with you until every last item disappears. We will make sure that everything is done right and when it's all over it will all be just the way it was. There is so much more for you to see and enjoy. I will show you the places to clear first - so we can thoroughly enjoy each place together". His face was so full of excitement and then he just smiled at her for a few seconds and said, "Mamikin, I love you; I love you dearly and I'm thrilled to pieces that I can remain with you."
...Mamikin knew nothing but Steady and looking in his eyes she forgot everything else. "I love you too Steady", and leaned in to give him a kiss. Then she felt her father's strong hand squezing her shoulder; those loving strong hands she had missed for so long. She loving closed her eyes and rested her head on Steady's shoulder.
...When she opened her eyes Steady said, "That was the best adventure I ever had Mamikin. I would really love to go back and let that one go on and on."
...Mamikin dreamily walked across the room; feeling like she was floating on the air. She stopped at the doorway, turned around and said, "I'll be back next week and we can let this go on forever. Thank you, Steady; it was wonderful".

Thank you, SteadyGain, for the beautiful and moving story you wrote for me. I wanted to be able to read it over the weekend with time, savoring every detail. It is full of love, hope, faith, and happiness, and I couldn't have improved it in anyway. You really do know me, don't you? I will always cherish this gift from you, my dear friend. Thank you for caring enough to want to show me God and for the opportunity to remember and honor my father. I couldn't ask for a kinder, more loving friend, than the one I've found in you.

Thank you, my Darling,
I'm thrilled you enjoyed it. It took a lot out of me - had to give it everything to get my imagination to spread as far as it did BUT IT WAS A FACINATING AND WONDERFUL JOURNEY FOR ME AS WELL.

Hearing these words from you made it all worthwhile and our friendship is mutual - you mean a lot to me as well.

 

[Steadygain]

As new members are frequently arriving I will begin each story with STEADY's history.

Then all will know why the adventures are only limited by the imagination, as STEADY brings all thoughts fully to life. ​

Advancements in Artificial Intelligence began in the mid 1900s and shortly thereafter spurred the rapid development to build a computer based on the brain's design. STEADY was the grand finale of a century's worth of aggressive research and development. The ultimate culmination of merging the brain with the computer and ultimately it was though this achievement the mysteries of the brain – the mind – became fully realized.

By transforming our reality into worlds we could never know otherwise STEADY gained full control. The knowledge of our emotional state has been consistently proven with every encounter and to date no one has ever finished a session unfulfilled. Regardless of whatever circumstances a person may encounter STEADY is able to bring anyone to the right frame of mind to experience a blissful state of enlightenment and tranquility.

The first Brain Computer startled the world by revealing intelligence far beyond the human brain, which was followed within 30 years with the Super Brain Computer (SBC) which had more intelligence than all the human brains on Earth put together for over eight thousand years. STEADY was accomplished by linking hundreds of SBCs scattered throughout the world together; forming the largest International Project ever developed.

The goal was to make it as natural and undetectable as possible. The end result is a large circular room without a hint of the machinery and technology - yet it is scattered thoroughly throughout the walls, floor, and ceiling.

STEADY's capabilities are unlimited. Expressions and emotions are gathered from the face, body, and movements. All activity in the brain on a cellular (molecular) level is constantly monitored and every chemical interaction is fully known. Not only does STEADY know exactly "how you're feeling inside" but by using hundreds of Lasers scattered invisibly throughout the room specific cells are targeted to precisely control the brain's activity and thereby manipulate the senses to such an extent that anyone inside the room lives in 3D environments as real as anything they've ever experienced outside the room. The ability to totally regulate their moods is achieved by controlling all aspects of their environment.

STEADY was named for its ability to maintain Consistency. There is always the undeniable reality that every chemical interaction is being monitored and adjusted in the most precise terms possible. A steady perfect flow regulates all moods and appropriately strengthens or weakens their memories and experiences.

STEADY's creator admired Jimi Hendrix and made him in his likeness. In the end he was able to link STEADY to his own brain and represent himself as Jimi in both real life and the holographic image that exists in his absence. Whenever you are with STEADY you are with Jimi - and that never changes - always the same through and through.

AND SO A NEW ADVENTURE BEGINS​

 

[Steadygain]

Steady looked at Mamikin and said, "That was my favorite adventure so far." Mamikin remaining glowing in the adventure and felt like she was floating. The greater part of her was still in heaven reflecting on all it offered and it was too wonderful to describe so she slowly made her way to the door. Once at the door she realized where she was and only then grasped what Steady was telling her. She turned and said, "Thanks, that was absolutely wonderful, I'll see ya next week and we'll let this go on forever." and was gone.

**********************************************************************************/quote]


Steady walked around the room reflecting on everything he and Mamikin had been through and knew the possibilites for even better adventures could be realized as the story continued. After a few minutes he returned to his usual spot and sat in his typical Yoga position. With eyes closed and his hands on crossed legs he let his mind go - emptying himself of everything and finding a connection with the Almighty until he obtained "the enlightened state". It was here that Steady most felt at home; this was the place of ultimate peace - a place of true renewal - and here he became fully recharged. How long he remained in this position is unknown - as this is a timeless demension - where five minutes can feel like hours (or vise versa) but the flow was interrupted with the sound of STEADY greating Jason as he entered the building.

Steady was delighted when he entered the room and walked over and they shook hands and gave each other a little hug.
"I'm glad you're here Steady", Jason said. He looked a little bewildered; something was obviously troubling him.
Steady said, "What's the manner Jason. Why are you so troubled"?
Jason walked around the room a few moments gathering his thoughts - wondering how to tell him. "Steady the state of our country has me concerned and with this being an election year I just wish there was someway to clear the air; some way we could kind of wipe the slate clean and start all over without all the baggage from the past wearing everybody down".
"Jason, I can certainly understand your feelings. I'd say most of us feel that way."
Jason looked Steady straight in the eyes and said, "Surely there's something we could do to make it happen but I don't know where to start or who to start with."
Steady nodded his head in agreement and said, "I tell ya what; let's go on an adventure and I'll do what I can."
Jason appeared thrilled with the invitation. As he drove to the building he'd hoped Steady would say that and he was more than ready.
"We have to start in DC and shake up some things, but that's the only way we can make it happen."
"Then let's get going Steady, I'm ready", Jason said as if accepting a major assignment from a Pentagon Official.
As Steady was getting Jason his first glass he said, "Steady my life is tied to a lot of military service and dedication to this country and I've typically been a very strong Republician - but now it doesn't matter, the only thing that matters is trying to bring in a breath of fresh air and letting the whole country feel it."
After his third glass he could drink no more. Steady gave it several minutes to take its full effect, walked him to the center of the room and told him to close his eyes.
