Description

Innocence; personified by a small little outpost in the wilderness, provided shelter and momentary reprieve from the driving cold of winter, and the blistering heat of summer.

The qualities of Innocence were such that eema expressed eema-self with open doorways and a porch for shade. As soon as the weary or frustrated, desperate or disillusioned traveller arrived there, eemas doors would open outwards like a warm and welcoming smiling embrace. Eemas was a smile so bright that could light up like a star at night and the sun bursting through clouds on rainy days.

And so wet and weary travellers would find succour; and Innocence would rejoice, being filled with the greatest of joys that comes from warming the hearts of others. If Innocence had the hands and feet of a child, eema would have danced in the puddles, making art out of mud splashes, and crafting cakes to fill hungry bellies.
