| Bio: | Once upon a Time, there was a young prince who believed in all things but three. He did not believe in princesses, he did not believe in islands, he did not believe in God. His father, The King, told him that such things did not exist. As there were no princesses or islands in his father's domain, and no sign of God, the prince believed his father. But then one day the prince ran away from his palace. He came to the Next Land. There, to his astonishment, from every coast he saw islands, and on these islands strange and troubling creatures whom he dared not name. As he was searching for a boat, a man in full evening dress approached him along the shore. "Are those real islands?" asked the young prince. "Of course they are real islands," said the man in evening dress. "And those strange and troubling creatures?" "They are all genuine and authentic princesses." "Then God also must exist!" cried the prince. "I am God," replied the man in full evening dress. The young prince returned home as quickly as he could. "So you are back." said his father, The King. "I have seen islands, I have seen princesses and I have seen God" said the prince. The King was unmoved. "Neither real islands, nor real princesses nor a real God exist." "I saw them!" "Tell me how God was dressed." "God was in full evening dress." "Were the sleeves of his coat rolled back?" The prince remembered that they had been. The King smiled. "That is the uniform of a magician, you have been deceived." At this the prince returned to the Next Land, and went to the same shore, where once again he came upon the man in full evening dress. "My father, The King, has told me who you are," said the young prince. "You deceived me last time, but not again. Now I know those are not real islands or real princesses, for you are a magician." The man on the shore smiled. "It is you who are deceived, my boy. In your fathers kingdom there are many islands and many princesses. But you are under your father's spell so you cannot see them." The prince returned home. When he saw his father, he looked him in the eyes. "Father, is it true you are not a real King but only a magician?" The King smiled and rolled back his sleeves. "Yes my son, I am only a magician" "Then the man on the shore was God?" "The man on the shore was another magician." "I must know the real truth, the truth beyond magic." "There is no truth beyond magic," said The King. The prince was full of sadness. He said, "Then I shall kill myself." The King's magic caused death to appear. Death beckoned to the prince. The prince shuddered. He remembered the unreal but beautiful islands and the beautiful but unreal princesses. "Very well," he said, "I can bear it." "You see, my son," said The King, "you too now begin to be a magician." | |||||
