Philip the Bard’s Harappan Blog: The Tarsans Today
Welcome gregarious readers. We’ve been discussing the history of the Tarsan movement. Many people, myself included, saw them as the villains for many years. Indeed, the Tarsan prosecution of their crusade on Earth was a bloody mess.
While I still don’t buy their spiritual teachings we can hardly call them villains any more can we?
History has shown us that the driving force in their villainous ways came strictly from Mary Carmini alone. Once she was out of the way the Tarsans halted their crusade. I guess their weakness was their willingness to go along with someone whom they thought represented them with a way to achieve their goals. Sadly, Mary Carmini’s “way” required the Tarsans to abandon many strongly held beliefs.
That the Tarsans abandoned their expansionism and turned themselves around speaks highly of their moral fibre. It is a difficult thing to admit that you have been wrong for generations.
That the Tarsans are now the spiritual leaders of the Milky Way speaks to their openness. They have certainly turned the corner. Humans living on Kusha and Lava can now look to the Homeworld with some pride. Now that Earth has become the center for spiritual studies for the entire galaxy we can point towards home without the thought that humanity is broken. Through the Mother and the Tarsans we have learned that humans can work for true peace.
When we Harappans were having our first conflicts with the Earthers I would have never imagined that humans would eventually become the Peacemakers of the Milky Way. Go figure!
My band the Gutterminds will be playing at Lindemeyer Park Sunday afternoon. If you happen to be near Harappa City come by. There will be beer, wine, and Oodo served as well as lamb, Kushan Cow and as much Kushan Yam as you can eat. It’ll be a great time.
If you don’t know where the park is, take Rodin Road North along the river till you come to the turn off for Miller’s Grove. Turn right and follow the signs to the park. People should be gathering by noonish and we’ll start playing when everyone has had a chance (or two) at the buffet line. See you there! We'll do our best Toxic Idols and Rolling Stones tunes and maybe a few originals.
Never Mix red wine and Oodo.
