a precious thing from the sky

I'm in the park just down from my parents house. There are lots of people out playing as its a sunny day and its the holidays. We are going to have a mini music gathering, so everyone is called together. We sit in a circle, and people are invited to play some music. I play my Mbira and T-, one of my teachers, hears it and says to people there, 'mbira is my main instrument too. ' And to me says 'Let me look at your mbira'. I give it to him to look at. It looks different now in his hands. He says 'this is a very magical mbira, tell them where it is from',
'Zimbabwe' I tell everyone, and someone asks how much it cost, and I say 100 pounds. Some people laugh, and I don't really know why. is it because it seems expensive or cheap? I think to myself. I don't know.

now I have it back and I am playing it again... It has a magical effect.

We are on the top field, and its the wild heart gathering opening ceremony. We don't know what is going to happen. Everyone is gathered round in a circle.

Into the centre of this large silent and still circle walks a singer. She is short and has wide hips, giving her a grounded look.
She has a poise and confidence about her that grabs every ones attention.

She starts singing a quiet melody, which winds and twists and turns, and draws me in. Its as if she is making it up as she goes along, but for some reason, I know what is coming next in the melody and I get compelled to sing along.

I join in singing with her, I know this is my role, to be spontaneous, and I know instinctively my line I must sing. She smiles at me, and we go into a musical trance, and more and more people join in with us in this spontaneous song, that seems so rehearsed.

Dancers join me and the singer in the centre of this wide circle. They are all girls, and are dressed up in costume; flowing silky dresses of white and blue. They have a routine that they are following, a fast paced, flowing circle dance, that spirals in and out of its self. The dancers look at me, and I notice how beautiful they are. I suddenly feel like I've done the wrong thing joining this opening ceremony in such a spontaneous way, as I really don't know how to dance in synch with them, and I'm not wearing any special costume. I look to the singer lady for guidance but she is lost in the music, so I do what feels most right; I join the dancers moving in spirals.

It is very hard keeping up with them as they are moving very fast, and I get behind, and muddled up; my feet cross at awkward points, and I feel like I must look the fool to the audience,- one guy not in costume trying to fit in with all these beautiful rehearsed girls in flowing costume.

The girls find it really funny, and some try to tell me what to do, 'put one foot here, follow this way round, now cross over, and under...' They know I am exposing my self, and do their best to help me not make a fool of myself.

I meet S. She has moved into a new house in netheredge, a house on stead rd.

S is in the basement singing, and clearing out the old crap of the house.
She has got into a lot of debt with people over money, and these people are after her to make her pay for her debt. She thinks she may find something valuable in the basement of the house.

Her new flat mate doesn't like me, and gets into an argument with me. He has had mental difficulties, and has had a lot of difficulties with his relationships with different women. Now he has a crush on someone who is really too young for him, but he doesn't care, he says, 'but aren't you attracted to her as well?'

I am in a school somewhere in sheffield.
There is a corruption going on in this school, we are being made to wear uniform when we don't need to. I decide to find a way to get rid of this corruption, and Adriano gives me a pack of cards to use, to help expose this corruption, so that we can get rid of it.

I don't quite know how to use the cards, but it was something to do with dividing the pack in a particular way... But however I did it, it has now been done, and this corruption has been exposed.

Three or more people are now angry with me. They are class mates who, when finding out about the uniform corruption, decided not to wear their uniform, and con-sequentially have been put into detention by the teachers. They are blaming me, as they know I exposed it, and if they had not found out they would never have got tempted to push the 'fake' rules, and so get into detention. I see the difficulty I have got my self into, and realise I need to be more careful.

I go back to the school. There are a number of class mates in detention or something, waiting to do there lines, and
I see Nageeb through the window; he is one of the ones who got into trouble, and he looks at me with contempt.

I go back to Adrianos house, thinking that he might be able to help me find a way to sort out the problems that I have sparked off.

He says I can't really get him involved. It's nothing to do with him he says. I leave his house, and as I'm leaving I notice he has left the pack of cards which I used, on the door step. I pick them up, and flick through the pack. I notice something I had not noticed before when I used them.

They are a magic pack
Of cards, used to trick people. Some of the cards have no figures on them at all, some have figures on both sides, some are slightly smaller than others, and some are in different colours, and some have a secret coding system on the back so that you know what card you are going to get.

I ask the pack to show me a card that will have meaning for me now in this moment.

I get the ace of diamonds.

Diamonds are tough, I think, formed inside the earth. This card is symbolic of the earth I think, and so I decide that I must think about the earth and my connection to the earth.

At this moment a piece of metal comes spinning through the air above me. It spins like a giant boomerang spinning in circles, making wide arc like patterns across the sky.

I remember something someone told me about collecting and precious metals from the sky, - if your lucky you may find granitium - a special alien metal, which they use in there space crafts. Its the most valuable thing you will ever find, someone once told me.
I don't know what this spinning object will be, but I follow it all the same, for I feel it's important for me to follow it.

It spins down through the streets, this way and that. For ages and ages I chase it, thinking it will never fall to the ground. It leads me zig-zaging amongst the streets, like I'm on a wild goose chase. I think it must be important that no one sees me pick it up, as it could be the most valuable thing I ever find.

It is now getting lower to the ground, and is now only about a foot off the ground. I am right on its heels.

It clatters to the ground just at a junction to Abbeydale road. There are lots of people about, and I pick it up as quickly as possible, as I don't want them to see me pick it up. The object is a circular shape with three spiky wing bits coming off it, making it look a bit like a three spiked crown.
The metal is strong and light in weight, and dark coloured.

When I move even only a few yards, some assassins who have been tracking this special object fly out of the trees around, and point there guns at me and fire.. They have been tracking this object and its very important that they get it back up to the sky, as its a power object. I don't want to loose it, but I also don't want to loose my life, so I hurl it as hard as I can away from me. I don't know where it landed.

I wake up.
