The Fire-Drake

Little does our little creature know it will one day be
personified as a piece of jewelry. It's eyes dart back
and forth in frenzied awareness as it lives flamed in
fire. It exists in that realm that separates man and God.
It is part of the interplay of the four categories of
invisible beings that represent nature's elemental spirits:
Earth. Air. Water. Fire.

Earth: Deep within her bowels dwell the dark gnomes ...
slow creatures filled with knowledge. (Knowledge is
Gnoma in Greek).

Air: Sylphs ride the air currents (Greek: Sylpha for
butterfly) ... doing whatever it is sylphs do. Suck
nectar out of blossoms perhaps. Meet other sylphs with
the purpose of creating more sylphs? Should there be
a universal book on the living and sexual habits of
demons and devils and angels and spirits? Whaddya think
folks? Shouldn't we know more about those beings that
live in parallel universes?

Water: In the sea the Undine surged. (In Latin Unda means
wave).

Fi (Greek word for fireplace is Salambe) ... and it is
in fire that our creature ... the Fire-Drake ... also
known for those who need to know these things--as the
Salamander--dwelt. Tell me ... ain't etymology a grand old
thang? The salamander was also visualized as a lizard
or a little dragon.

It is also here ... in the midst of Fire and the other elements
where man began his evolutionary growth ... rising upon
the escalator of existence ... striving ever upward into the living
universe... eventually leaving his beginnings where he once
lived side by side with the Fire-Drake ... transforming
over time from element ... to man ... to ... to .... What is
the next step folks ... after one has achieved the level of
man?

I--of course--dispute with vigor any and all who would venture
to contradict the rise of man in the fashion described above and
who would use the tired old saw of evolution and Darwinism. Bah, I
say to the intellectually stilted ... who use logic and fact as meager
weapons to prove ineffectual points. Who is more enduring in our minds
and hearts: Darwin ... or Rumplestilskin? Ladies and gennulmen ... the
defense rests.

As to our bejeweled salamander ... he was made circa 1900 with
Diamonds and Demantoid Garnets ... and is valued at around $5000.00

For those of you who are new to this thing called Tidbits...may I
direct you to my home page at www.tyler-adam.com where you will scroll
down the left side menu till you get to the area that says Tidbits
Graphics ... and then click on the link that says: Fire-Drake ...
where you'll see an image of the Salamander ... that elemental
creature of yore.

And there ya have it.
That's it for this week folks.
Catch you all next week.
Benjamin Mark
