The Ringmaster

Once there was a lord named the Ringmaster. He was not named for his Circus. nor for the Costume parties he held. He was not named for the elegance he showed... the clothes that swayed whilst he dance. He was not known for any of these things. The Ringmaster was not even a Host. He was not even privileged with being a Hoax. He was not a fraud. He was not divine purity. He was not anything one was destined to see. He was nothing one could not see. He was simply the Ringmaster. And he could be in any form, in any wish.1

The Ringmaster.... was destined for one thing. He was not a man, nor was he a god. He was not Denial, nor was he approval. He was not even Duality, and he could not but chuckle, being called balance. He thirsted and forewarned all his guests that the Ringmaster could sew them apart. He beckoned with terrifying bellows, as his ideas always placed roots, in his fellows. The Ringmaster was Destined to Connect.2

The Ringmaster did but one thing in his life. He did not represent any one sole entity. The Ringmaster was master of no one, nor could he be watched or seen as Slave. He held no form, if he so wished. And despite the nonexistent bow tie, with his non existent bow... he was not truly bowing to any one soul. For he was Free in his life. And the Ringmaster, neither alive, nor dead, but even a question to his own existence, was Free.3

The Ringmaster held but not only one Goal in his life. it was nothing but a goal, not composed of not many goals. It was not a goal of approval. Nor a goal of denials. Simply, all the Ringmaster never did, was Inspire in others, what not to think. He would never do that, but never was he fearful in the least. The Ringmaster was never restricted to do nothing but show, what was never before shown, not only to his guests, but his guests' not-yet-existent guests. The Ringmaster's Not One, but Not Only Goal, in his non-existent life...4

was Never to doubt he was Wrong.5

And Neither were They.

    He sounds like an interesting chap. I might have met him, but you will have to explain the metaphor to me.
    If I read it as being about freedom to fail would I be close? I love having the freedom to fail as it helps me to improve. I'm talking about writing here and my failures always teach me more than my successes.

    • Thank you ^_^

      mew. believe it or not, I had Doubts in mind, far more than Failure. fears and doubts.

  • intriguing yet a little lost

    I was intrigued by your writing but at the same time I was little lost to the meaning. Maybe I am just out of the loop of things, I don't know. Nevertheless, I enjoyed reading it.

    • XD Nothing but feeling, on a day it was needed to Banish some stress... XD Laughter ain't not never always the worst of best medicine!

  • Wow. Very nice.

    ^_^
