"They
loved meeting and laughing with other people. The happy couple
met others from all over the world and felt the color of a person's
skin was of no more importance than the color of their eyes. "

"It
wasn’t long before the newlyweds decided to explore once
again, and they soon found the perfect place for a honeymoon. It
was a fantastic island, as breathtakingly beautiful as could be. "
|
In
the distance, a pirate ship was sailing toward the peaceful island.
It was a very old boat and in terrible shape, with its tattered
skull and crossbones flag whipping the air. The sails were torn
in many places, and its masts and crows nest sagged under the strain
of the wind. The ship’s ropes were old and frayed and in
danger of snapping. Its wooden planks creaked and groaned as it
sailed through the water, and the boat looked as if it might spring
a leak at any moment!

Down
below gleamed a mountain of the finest diamonds, emeralds, rubies,
pearls and gold coins imaginable. The pile of treasure was so huge
it would take twenty lifetimes to spend. The brothers didn’t
know the hold of the ship also held a surprise.

The
pirates slashed at him with their swords. Kokopelli gracefully
jumped, twisted and spun, easily dodging the blades he heard slicing
the air. With lightning-fast reflexes, Kokopelli easily avoided
their weapons and eyed them with an annoyed smile.

Kokopelli
smiled to himself as he noticed the pile of treasure shining in
the last of the sun’s rays. None of the brothers noticed
that the tide began to roll in, slowly washing some of the treasure
into the ocean.

“You
know something, brother? With the wonderful island, animals, people
and sunsets we have, I don’t need treasure to look at any
more. You can have my half of what’s left, if you like,” Dave
said gently.
Geoffrey looked at the jewels and pieces of gold and thought for a moment.
Without a word, he turned and walked to the camp and never looked back.
Dave turned and followed close behind. |

Kokopelli
and Samsara presided over three weddings on the island of change,
and never was there a more peaceful community on Earth. Worry and
regret were far behind them now as they lived life to its fullest,
caught up like playful children in each delightful moment.
By the way, Dave and Geoffrey did of course leave their swords far behind.
