Dear Melissos
Melissos did not cry when he felt the outside world for the first time, since his mother, Goddess Athena, made it so. I would have surely cried upon leaving Athena’s safe womb for this so-called new world, although I would have rejoiced as soon as I beheld, at least in my mind, the love in her eyes. My little heart would have capitulated without her hand caressing it from every angle. Melissos’ small heart was large in another way, as a part of Athena corticated through it like her original olive tree.
