This is an extraordinary note to the Bead Master of this Game, October 22, 1999.

The Orgins of this note are not yet perfectly clear.

After much debate, the note was posted as a Bead by the review committee, October 23, 1999; with the hope that there be much more such Notes.

Honored Sirs

The Druid look at their feet in the way the Sufi focus on their index finger, while spinning. This is done to remain in the present, unencumbered by the pass and free of the future.

Now, where are your feet?

The story of the Tuatha-De-Dannan is that a great race of beings came to Ireland, They were brave warriors, poets, healers and scientists. Like the Etruscans. No one knows from where or whence they came. They vanished one day like the Anazais.

Some say they "turned sideways to the sun" an old sailing turn for capsizing a boat. The sail you see is invisible because they are heading into the wind. A dangerous move unless in a storm. Sideways to the sun, invisible you see.

The reference to capsizing is dual in meaning, actually they went underground into the Burrows and mound dwellings. This giving rise to the fairy world of the Europeans. They moved deftly into myth to be known as the Fey, Feary. The little people.

Some say the Druids, some say the Leprechauns flower fairies the Devas.

Ah..... Like every good saga it deserves a sequel. Some of us escaped. But we do from time to time resurface in this world. Intelligent, Brave, and the best that bone and flesh have to offer. But, with mystical bents and a strong belief in cycles and with the ability to understand the beauty and meanings of spirals and continuums.

The People of Danu, (tuatha de Danann's) had no creation myths, they were creation. Traveling, traveling stopping only to form clans and help communities like swaggering ronin samurai.

Then return into the underground and forest cities they called their homes.
