What If? #12 Towers

If you found a reality full of towers, what would it be like? Would there be a young Watchtower who was taken in and raised by the Wizardstower the way young Arthur was taken in and raised by Merlin?
Can you imagine such an event? Look into your mind, look into your thoughts, look into your time and tell me what you see. Relax, leave the rush behind, look deep in your mind. Is there a place; is there a time? A time for a Watchtower, a one of a kind? Is there hope and is there despair? Is there a tower for a watcher to wear?
Come with me, I’ll show you a way, it’s not far away. Drift and go deep, relax and be safe, we can walk across rainbows and float in our dream. Follow the sounds to the cool flowing stream. Take your time and flow with me.
The land of the towers awaits our dream; it needs only one child to say, "I believe." The towers are many and troubles are few, a land full of wonders waiting for you. Drift and go deep and follow my words, I’ll spin you a tale, we’ll dream the absurd.
Imagine a day, a dawn before time and let your mind go where our feelings all rhyme. It’s fun to feel joy, it’s great to be born, our journey awaits, see the white unicorn?
Are you the One child? Can you say, "I believe"? Then come with me. Come with me and you will see a land of great towers, a land of the free.
See the Wizardstower? It’s standing next to the little Watchtower, holding its hand. Yes, you are right, that little Watchtower does have a face that resembles Mickey Mouse!
The Wizardstower is raising this Watchtower to keep it safe and teach it many ways, and show it many choices. I know, we all have many choices, but this Watchtower is very important to the Wizardstower and it will benefit greatly from a childhood drenched in wizardry ways.
At night the bell towers sing lullabies, if you listen real close you can just catch a sigh. Our little Watchtower (let’s call it Art) is gently carried to the land of dreams by the song of tinkling bells. It dreams of such a variety of delights. Delights the Wizardstower has shown during the day, and delights yet to be known in its waking life.
Art is living quite a life, see it run and play, and look at how quickly it grows. Lessons fill its grand head and dreams guide its path. What do you think it will grow up to be?
See all the choices ahead in Tower-land? There are Clocktowers, Churchtowers Courthousetowers, and more. There are choices and choices and choices galore. See the many Belltowers, Brasstowers, Blocktowers and more. You see choices and choices and choices galore.
What will Art decide to be? Just like you and me, Art can choose its destiny. Will Art be a Gallerytower, Glasstower, Greentower or more? Wise choices, grand choices, free choices for sure!
You think Art wants to be Kingtower? I thought most Watchtowers grew up to be Clocktowers. Isn’t that kind of a pre-destiny type of thing? "Not at all" you say? Why not a Maytower? Imagine the fun of all those Dancingtowers swirling ‘round it every spring. Art could be a Cornertower, an easy job and yet the foundation of the community.
Okay then, if you insist, I will ask Art if it truly wants to be Kingtower. I know that was the point of all the teachings and adventures of its youth. I just do not believe a young Watchtower can pull the sword from the Stonetower. Look at it. Its arms aren’t even the same lengths.
You say Lady Laketower spoke in your dream? Oh, I do envy you. You are a fortunate indeed to have met the keeper of the sword. I thought she had fallen into eternal sleep. I thought she had forgotten us with our wandering ways.
If Lady Laketower says Art is the One, then Art is the One! Captain Gaurdtower will scream the alarm! Sir Stabletower was certain he had the horsepower necessary to draw the sword. General Garagetower will be driven to blind rage. The Wartower will probably raise arms and revolt.
The story has many possible outcomes, which choice would you choose? Do you think Art will unite the land and start a Roundtower to set all to right? Will the Knighttowers rally to Art’s banner? What will become of Art’s son?
Will Art fall to the sword by which it chose to live? When our Kingtower grows wise will it be a Watchtower again? Will Art open the mind and raise consciousness enough to become the Mighty Watchtower to oversee the land? Will you witness the day, the return of the Kingtower as it ascends to the heavens and transforms into the greatest of Towers and sets its I looking every way?
Behold Master Watchtower, the humblest and wisest of All! Waiting and watching, never interfering, seeing our choices, the possibilities and letting us be free. Mater Watchtower will answer if asked, but the decisions are ours.
