To this end, I take you to ancient Egypt, to the I surroundings of Memphis. It is a lovely place and nature is beau- tiful there. I would like to show you the house of my parents where I was born and invite you to come with me. My father loved nature very much and was fond of everything belonging to life. He was a man of sentiment, convinced of the mira- cles and forces in creation, besides, he was a naturalist and a very pious and sensitive human. What he observed in nature meant a prayer to him; that is what he felt and experienced in the plant world and animal kingdom. Our home was like a paradise. In every corner of the house there were plants and flowers which he cultivated. Moreover, there were many cages with beautiful birds. When he was caring for his children, as he called them, he some- times spoke very earnestly to me and told about the miracles of nature, now and then he descended with me into that wonderful world. Then he tried to explain to me how flowers and plants awak- ened and grew, and every species was created. But above all, he pointed out how mighty nature is, and how he himself spoke to the inner life of animals and plants. “You see, Venry, I speak to my children and they listen. I feel their desire to live and grow, but I must know and be able to understand when they are hungry and thirsty, or they will return to their own Father, whom they love more than me.’ “How are you so sure that they have got a Father too?” “Do you think”, he answered, “that anything is born without His help?” “Whom do you mean, Father?” Then, full of happiness and like a grown-up child he said to me: “I mean Amon-Ré, our God, the God of all life, of the sun, the moon, the stars, of trees, flowers and animals, but especially your God, mine and your mother’s. The smallest insect to the wild animal, the God of light and darkness, of stillness and thunderstorm, 7 of the glorious heaven and of the earth we live on, who knows and loves us and who will call us to Him one day. Then, dear Venry, I shall humbly bow before Him and He will ask, ‘Did you, Ardaty, give My life to which it is entitled?’ That is why I do my best, Venry, to nourish all this life and to tend it so that the Gods will be merciful to me.” I looked up at my Father and asked: “You talk of one God and of Gods?” “Yes, my boy, I know Amon-Ré and there are Gods. I do not know how other people feel about this.” I bowed my head for his eyes were shining with a strong light, which I could not bear. After a little while I dared to look at him again and he smiled at me, but I went to my beloved Mother. I asked her sternly because feelings of rebellion, impotence and misunderstanding came into me: “Who is my Father, Mother? He speaks of one supreme God and of Gods.” “But, Venry, how can you ask such pointed questions?.
