The Scented Flowers of Sinjin-Ka
by Martin Hart
The Great and Holy Sinjin-Ka sat in meditation for a hundred years. For generations, people from the valleys below gathered before him to bathe in his blessed presence. Then, one evening, during the magic of the twilight time, Sinjin-Ka opened his eyes and spoke. For ninety-one nights, during the magic of the twilight time, the illumined Sinjin-Ka told to all assembled, a story. The following are the stories told by Sinjin-Ka. |

Gobi’s Tiny Seeds
Gobi was a great and powerful magician,
though no one ever heard of him
or of his wondrous magic.
He was only a poor farmer,
content to spend his days in his field
and lovingly tending to his sheep and chickens.
He knew not of spells or charms or incantations
or any of the other things magicians knew or used
in the working of their magic.
He only worked his field,
and lovingly tended to his sheep and chickens,
and sat beneath a willow tree,
and dreamed his dreams of hope.
*****
Gobi was good at dreaming. He practiced it every day.
But his dreams were not your average dreams.
What Gobi dreamed would
happen.
*****
Once, when his sheep fell ill and were on the verge of dying,
he sat beneath a willow tree and dreamed a dream of hope.
The dream became tiny seeds that he held within his hand,
then, in his mind, he planted them among his beloved sheep.
Soon, his beloved sheep miraculously recovered.
*****
When Gobi heard of a savage war in a far off distant land,
he sat beneath a willow tree and dreamed a dream of hope.
The dream became tiny seeds that he held within his hand,
then, in his mind, he planted them in that far off distant land.
Soon, both sides were talking, and the war miraculously ended.
*****
When a deadly plague broke out, and many people died,
he sat beneath a willow tree and dreamed a dream of hope.
The dream became tiny seeds that he held within his hand,
then, in his mind, he planted them throughout the stricken land.
Soon healers found a cure, and the deadly plague
miraculously ended.
*****
No one ever heard of Gobi or of his wondrous magic,
but that was fine with Gobi.
He was content to work his field,
and lovingly tend to his sheep and chickens,
and sit beneath a willow tree,
and dream his dreams of hope.

Gopol Talks to God
Gopol did not attend the Holy Temple,
much to the dismay of the Temple Priest.
He was not pious like the others in his village,
and, during the High Days of Holy Observance,
instead of fasting and worshiping in God’s Holy House,
he went fishing,
much to the dismay of the Temple Priest.
He did not like being in the Holy Temple.
He found the seats too hard,
the chants too dull,
and the Sacred Texts too hard to understand.
He preferred instead to sit in a soft green meadow
singing nonsense songs to the clouds,
and write poems about dandelions and gypsy moths,
much to the dismay of the Temple Priest.
*****
One day, the Temple Priest, while strolling through the wood,
came upon a ring of seven trees, and, there within,
sat Gopal talking with God.
They chatted away like old friends
and laughed like silly children.
They sometimes danced like intoxicated lovers,
and sometimes picked berries from a nearby bush.
The Temple Priest, outraged, ran back to the Holy Temple,
fell to his knees before the Holy Statue of God,
and prayed for the soul of Gopol,
much to the dismay of God.
