What if a voice of sanity had risen up at various stages in the story of human history, to offer a challenging view when craziness was about to win the day?
If …
Rhea had a problem.
She made a promise to follow a path of abstinence and now found herself quite pregnant.
Initially, she did pretty well with her chastity until she met Herc, from the mountains. He was a hunk of a man, and his brawn turned her head and made her soon forget a pledge made to grumpy adults.
Rhea and Herc had fun.
At the end of their little fling, Rhea discovered she was pregnant. When Herc found out, he boogied out of the scene back to his mountain home.
She was left alone. There obviously had been no birth control. Plan B was not available, nor was a women’s right to choose a matter of course.
She was frightened to admit her condition, since she felt that one particular adult presence might try to harm the offspring. So she slipped away, gave birth and found out that “it” was twins.
She affectionately referred to them as Rommy and Reemy. But after they came into her life, she began to doubt again. How would she be able to take care of them? What would people think? Where would the money come from?
Being just a young lass, she even had notions of taking them down next to the river and dropping them off, whimsically believing that perhaps wolves would come and suckle them and woodpeckers would feed them, until such time as they would maybe be found by…well, some farmer couple, who would raise them to adulthood.
Even though her thoughts were immature and crazy, she planned to pack them up to take them to the river to implement her vision.
But as she was coddling them in blankets, she looked down into their little faces and realized that she would never be able to let them go.
It was never easy. She was never able to reconnect with the adults who would have certainly been critical, if not dangerous, to her offspring.
But she loved them. She taught them to appreciate nature and to value their relationship as brothers, and to never give up on one another.
There would be no wolves in their lives. She made sure of that.
No need for woodpeckers to bring food. Somehow or another she mustered the funds to survive.
And that other couple never needed to be surrogate parents, because she was enough.
She raised two strong, sensitive, yet powerful young men, who were inseparable.
They gathered a following, never jealous of one another, and even when people did try to infringe on their relationship, they dispelled their critics.
Romulus and Remus founded a city and they called it Rome. The goal of their Empire was two-fold: to spread throughout the world the doctrine that nothing is impossible and that if mankind pursued knowledge and wisdom, we could all get along.
Some countries were conquered and some came on board the Empire joyously.
But Rome became a symbol of the relationship of two brothers, linking all mankind into a common “human-hood.”
