Ridvan sunset 2013 a

Truth, naked and cold,

had been turned away from every door in the village.

Her nakedness frightened the people.

When Parable found her she was huddled in a corner,

shivering and hungry.

Taking pity on her,

Parable gathered her up and took her home.

There, she dressed Truth in story,

warmed her and sent her out again.

Clothed in story,

Truth knocked again at the doors

and was readily welcomed into the villagers' houses.

They invited her to eat at their tables

and warm herself by their fires.
