It was tied solely at the corner of her left shoulder.
She was wearing nothing underneath.
She plucked the strings,
Of a harp,
The angelic sounds,
so perfect,
It was more than math.
This math quickly turned into passionate love making.
The instrument stood solid between her legs,
While her hands gently touched
the monochord instrument
with such sweet caresses,
they produced such sweet vibrations,
they electrified her entire body to the core.
A feeling so profound,
Her soul moaned with pleasure.
And in that very instance,
She heard her soul sing.
A melody of words which she desperately anguished to write.
They were so full of passion; creation.
A tune reminding her that she had nothing to fear,
For the desires and pleasures that were awakening within her,
Were simply memories;
Memories that were here to set her free.
And so, resolved,
she stopped for a brief moment,
got up, and walked over to the wall.
And as if in Ancient Egypt,
and so that her words would never be forgotten,
She carved in black bold ink:
“TO JUDGE THYSELF IS A JUDGMENT IN ITSELF.”
And with that,
She sat down,
legs wide open,
placed the instrument confidently between her legs,
and allowed the music to become her.

Inspired by an Egyptian Poem called “The Harpeer’s Song for Inherkawy” from the National Geographic News:
The Harper’s Song for Inherkhawy (Excerpt)
So seize the day! hold holiday!
Be unwearied, unceasing, alive
you and your own true love;
Let not the heart be troubled during your
sojourn on Earth,
but seize the day as it passes!
Human nature tends to fear and walk away from that which we can’t comprehend.
Because we cannot relate, or fit it perfectly inside a little box, we dissociate ourselves from it, and as such, we bind ourselves to the limits of our own beliefs; our sweet warm comfort zones.
We were conditioned and taught as children to mistrust; to fear that which is unknown and different from ourselves.
But yet, when we have challenged ourselves to overcome our fears, we have performed beyond our wildest imagination.
When we have thrown away those boxes inside our heads, and listened to the beats of our hearts, we’ve generated plenitude of magic.
When we have excitedly flung ourselves into the abyss of the unknown, we’ve created numerous unforgettable adventures.
And when we’ve engaged and shared with people from other walks of life, all with a different story to tell; each of them bringing different gifts of bold bright colors, we’ve encountered soul enriching life-changing moments; surmountable amounts of growth.
Therefore, we mustn’t settle for “just” good enough.
We mustn’t fear that which is different, because different might just be exactly what we were looking for.
