The Green Man/watch out People

Where do elves come from? asked the little green elf to the Great Oak. From the energy which has no substance For you cannot have one thing without an equal opposite. Where does the universe end? asked the little green elf to the Great Oak. It is the void of nothingness. Like your subconscious thoughts they have no boundary. Because they have no beginning for both are infinite. What is my purpose in life? asked the little green elf to the Great Oak. Your purpose; to learn And to keep your promise to live. Your journey is for you to discover. Who will be my friend when am sad? asked the little green elf to the Great Oak. You need only one: and it is you. What happens when you die? asked the little green elf to the Great Oak. When the time comes the answer will present itself. Where it does love come from? asked the little green elf to the Great Oak. Love is the energy of no substance The meeting of two opposite forces. It is the same energy which creates anything. Keep it close and do not underestimate its power. And that is what created the universe.
