The Strawman

The Strawman appears very normal but the truth is that he is the greatest gentleman. He even once always wore a hat but when a big gust stole it one day he sort of didn't mind, he sort of thought it made no difference, and so now he is sun burnt on top.
Unlike a Scarecrow this Strawman goes places. And being the only Strawman known to still exist, he always comes back because he is loving and caring and wishes not to worry anyone and as well as that, the Strawman lives in a beautiful kingdom so he loves to come home.
The kingdom is like no other and while it was built because of him and continues to grow as his life progresses, the kingdom is also where the Strawman goes for inspiration, to be taught. The kingdom is his family, for the relationship between them is incredible: they each nourish one another and this is possible because they have these common roots and these roots run deep.

When you are invited to the kingdom the Strawman walks so near with you and the air which has once caressed him and now caresses you never retracts from your skin, all of you muscles and cells are lifted and you are able to live forever because no matter how hard anyone should try in the future to put you in a hole in the ground, you'll just float away and find your way to the kingdom.
The Strawman will walk with you on this most aesthetically perfect pathway until you reach a door and the door leads to the outside, to life outside of the kingdom. Nobody has to be sad about leaving the kingdom though, because the Strawman stands with you at the door, very closely, and he speaks to you about everything you want to speak about and everything that he wants to speak about. While the two of you are speaking he looks so deeply into your eyes and neither of you ever look away.
When you have walked through the door and walked into life outside of the kingdom you finally learn of the Edel all the while still looking deeply into his eyes. You learn that the Edel is the second part of life, sort of what everyone had thought to be death but also nothing like death.
When you reach Edel you don't end Life but rather live the two in parallel, fully conscious of both your 'lives'. Edel consists of you staring deeply into the Strawman's eyes and he staring back while the two of you carry the most important conversation and Life continues with you outside of the kingdom.
