Queen of Paradise’s Garden – A Traditional Newfoundland Folktale by andrew jones (Adapted) The ancient civilizations in South America are not alone in their practices of coronation or sacrifice but England, Newfoundland, Tasmania and tribal Northwest Coast too had a ritual of their own — coumalumihka, a feast unlike any other that took place only once in the ancestral heroes’ lives: when he came upon the woman who would become the “queen” of his paradise. Coronation was unofficial, and as such, no one except for him would know about it until it was said to have taken place centuries after his death. To claim her as queen over his world, Adam-Thomas Elsenyoona took up residence near the imagined border of womanhood assigned to his ancestor Heather Redmist. After all, in his mind, Heather was practically the reincarnation of her once colorful predecessor Sapphira. Late one night, amidst a lunar eclipse, the young hero slipped into Elena Elenska’s house and carved her heart from her breast so he could keep it with him for the rest of eternity. Not long after the mystical act, Elena died, and soon afterwards, two fisherman came along, fishing for oysters, to disturb the endless joy Adam had found inside his Genderglas and considered his kingdom a success. As Adam chased them across the Golden Beach, they slipped him a piece of paper with the words ADM 7397 3x3 where he needed to go finding the shortest Mother. Time and time again, this particular moment would replay itself like a wheel, as the past was waiting for time to move forward, but despite being forced to hunt the fabled “shortest mother momma” of the timeless meditative waves, he was not entirely perplexed at what all the reels were made of. And he would once again encounter Elena and fixate on the entity inhabiting her, wanting his much missed comrade Sapphira back, despite the half-crazed madness of thought ‘knowing’ that she was gone forever and silent. In truth, it was unsettling for Luke to watch the coronation on discovery, as if a whisper from foreign lands turned into frightful reality, hungry to remind him that nothing eternal truly lasts. “My beloved child, I foresee much evil to come my son, but whether you succeed or fall, may you never slump in shame should the opportunity arise,” his mother would often tell him before trying to chart a path through the stormed section of itomah, “It’s time we take up our pass, pass not just of destiny, but path fraught with treachery.\nAll those before you struggled; the legions that came before you swallowed them whole. Even your great-grandfather, Acer'tuaglaglugaglughug—’’ She always stopped at that point, stating that he bore the marks of her father, Ul'dlum'lluagnawaykawyan'', which, going as legend purported, sent the most well-respected sire of scholars running away towards the never to be sighted East, mumbling ‘The Uintuit...the terrible cold Uintuit’. When Adam passed, his wake was said – his blessing, siblings and family alike grieved to see thee depart so young, asking themselves who knew their son best, himself or Maya Kayakawa, his renowned tutor, wife and lover. It was Maya who spoke first, napping down an old ritual many generations were done with, quietly but resolutely vowing to claim what she had nurtured for so long. Although she was seen, by order of course, as a fool she alone understood Adam’s final warning, decidedly presented in verses on a scroll of ancient leather bound in zamzam. Taking it up to the Glass House, framed by nine strands of mismatched bead rope, each woven with a different story, Maya transcribed Adam's words. As Lady Councillor at her side, Laura Josephine d'Pol, reviewed the scroll, she realized its true meaning, grateful to understand ‘why’ the text was so cryptic with its tones of both love and distaste. What they had been told, first told long before Adam came into her sheltering arms, was indeed the truth. Apollo Valeton doodled among the dim placeous dreadnought generative blitz clump, reciting ancient folk songs often heard to Sammy Dahl buttress the deeper conceit embodied by ancient mimes and then sung to Cassia Cotton. Each of them received their share. Maya bled to rememberAdam; Laura Josephine recalls thereboth Adam and the sunrise above before emerging from the sea into a new day of life. Meanwhile Cassya, wishing herself away from the memory and shadow of Andrew Forrester, drowned in there own grief over losing her eldest, tucked Paul into bedtime stories, hoping to escape her sorrow in his company, and Acadia continues on sailing down more sheltered waters searching for something she can’t completely name but rather loves for its steep almost impossible climb. Over the six verse scroll so grand and ancient Maya reveals, oh so quietly, to her fellow sages gathered round her a version of true love, of ripening futures made perfect, of lessons learned and friendship forged beyond the reach of time. She tells of Moonshadow and of Anya Galway and Kunu Clara Nanudo, whose stories reoccur, voices atop the brine and rain shouting down rivers striving for a channel once deep but rarely forgotten, pregnant with the possible truths Adam yearned to share. Launching herself back into the heart of home, Lucille McGowan and Vera Bennett embarked upon a production of Short Mother, complete with crouching tableaux depicting Sages Before Slaying Meats, totally committed to the work despite general disbelief. But now as she mingled with those gathered around her – none of whom could truly understand the ache of mourning that seared through her like volcanic lightning descending and covering her as you held her close and kissed her tears – Maya comprehended that while, yes, love might indeed be painful sometimes, without it life would be utterly, unbearably bereft of meaning. And in that moment she vowed to fulfill every primal sacred part Adam might have wanted, to celebrate the wonder of Frail.
