The Whisperer

The Whisperer was given great knowledge to give to the world. This is his story and journey to the village of Woodshire. The Whisperer arrived in the town he dreamed of during his sleep. In his dream the village was full of people who have forgotten their way.

You see their way was full of kindness, compassion, empathy and joyfulness for their neighbors in the village. The Whisperer entered the village finding everyone asleep not yet ready for the new day. The morning sun began to rise from the east lighting the windows of the village people. One by one the street became full of activity everyone going about their day.

The Whisperer walked about the village unnoticed for a moment until the preacher of the village approached him asking who are you? The Whisperer replied just a stranger to your village. The preacher asked do I know you?

The Whisperer said walk with me for a while. The Whisperer said to the preacher yes you know me from your dreams. In your dreams I whispered to remind you of the kindness you have forgotten to give to all. The preacher said you are right how did you know? The Whisperer walked away.

The Whisperer continued his walk and came upon the storekeeper shop. He entered finding him counting his money. The storekeeper said good day asking how he could help him today. The Whisperer replied some bread and honey if you please. The storekeeper prepared the items and waited for payment.

The Whisperer asked sir will you allow me to return later to pay for these items? The storekeeper replied certainly not. The Whisperer answered no compassion for me today. The storekeeper replied no.

The Whisperer noticed on the wall of the store a picture of an old man standing outside the store from many years ago. He asked who the person was. The storekeeper replied that is my father who built this store many years ago.

The Whisperer said come close to me. He whispered did your father have compassion in his heart for the people of this village. Find your compassion again. The storekeeper smiled and gave the bread and honey to the Whisperer.

The Whisperer's walk continued about the village. He noticed a man pointing at him. The man was directing him to come over to him.The man dress in fine looking clothes asked the following question. Will you go over to that home and tell the family to pay what they owe me?

The Whisperer replied no I will not sir. The rich man said do you know who I am? I own all this village and everyone is in my debt. The Whisperer said I will do what you wish if you will invite me into your home for a bite to eat.

The rich man agreed to the proposal. After the meal was finished the Whisperer asked can I tell you a story. The rich man said yes. The Whisperer said come closer and he whispered these words to him.

Some say you have no empathy. They are wrong for you have shown much empathy today to me. Remember this day and change your ways beginning with the family that owes you money. The rich man smiled and opened his eyes to understand the meaning of the words whispered to him.

The Whisperer now came upon a lonely looking person sitting by himself. He asked why the long face? The man replied I have no joy for all my possessions have been taken from me. The Whisperer asked if he could sit for a while. They sat and the Whisperer opened and took out his pouch the bread and honey to share with the lonely man.

The Whisperer asked if he could tell him a story. He said come closer. The Whisperer said you still have your family to bring you much joy in your life. Return to them and smile again.

The Whisperer continued his walk along the banks of a stream. He saw a woman her face full of tears flowing down her cheeks. He asked what troubles her? She replied my husband has left for another woman. The Whisperer wiped away her tears. He asked her to walk with him. The Whisperer said I have a story to tell you.

He whispered these words to her. You were meant to be loved and you always will be. Remember GOD loves you and his love will sustain you. She opened her eyes and the tears slowly began to fade away.

The Whisperer seeing the sunset coming into view his journey in the village of Woodshire finished. The kindness, compassion, empathy and joyfulness and love restored in the village of Woodshire.

The Whisperer left the way he entered to continue his travels.
