Tease Mawray - You Must Be Special

A simple story, about a rare story, with rarity in mind.

Tease Mawray - You must be special.

Whispering the words below while sipping D’ Amalfi Limoncello Supreme through a Symbionese twisted reed straw, allow you as a very special reader, to gain the rarest sacred visions no other may possess; no other! It is said, therefore it must be.

The delicate pages for this manuscript were soaked in Mediterranean salt water for weeks; then carried by Sherpa high into Himalayan mountains and stored in secret “sapphire caves” for ten years before being carried back down at great danger and expense. Only then were they dried and cut before printing. It is said, therefore it must be.

It is said, one at a time, and only when the last had been printed, bound, and delivered by special Currier to its owner, could the next special set of “the salt pages” be carried down for printing. It is said, therefore it must be.

It is said, only after many years of hand tooling by blind monks was this manuscript hand tied by the wives of the blind monks who tooled them; only then are these pages bound in the rarest Abyssinian Blue three toed sacred pheasant skins; lore states 62 of the rare delicate skins per volume, threads of Boa silk and the rarest “China White” Parmesan Cat sinew were common. It is said, therefore it must be.

It is said, sacred mythological ceremonies are held and sacrificial offerings are made for each volume; powdered blood droppings were used for tinting page title headings; participant lineages are generational “to the grave” mysteries. It is said, therefore it must be.

It is said, all careful mountain storage considerations were given to preserve the special intense scent of the ocean on these pages; so the first to the last reader could enjoy the scent of travel upon the first to the last opening and reading of this manuscript; it is said, therefore it must be.

It is said, by reading, sipping, and slowly whispering the sacred words of this script, you must be special. It is said, therefore it must be.

It is said, to own one of these magnificent manuscripts is to live in danger for the rest of your life. For it is said, these manuscripts are truly priceless, and to own one; have on in your possession is a magnificent thing in the eyes of who are. It is said, therefore it must be.

To "have" one in your possession is not enough to achieve greatness; you must also "own" one. And to own one means you were given "greatness", given a "priceless" thing, by one other; he who has no name, but he who does such things, he who is. It is said, therefor it must be.

Beware, to "have" one of the magnificent volumes in you possession, and not to "own" it, you too are in danger for the rest of your life; for it is said, the "presenter" is also the "keeper" of what should be, the "maker" of what will be. And no other living, has told of meeting their "maker", so I say unto you, beware what is said, for it is said, therefore it must be.
