Charter of the Forest Storytime

And a reintroduction to the importance of telling stories

Hello Star Seeds and superhero friends. Welcome to the replay of a spinoff of the Truth Beauty Freedom & Love show; called “Truth is the Truth” on Rumble, where I feature a story of a truth from my perspective in the game of life. Today's post about the show is extra special because I am introducing you to the format and mission of this show. You could call it a podcast as well since there will be an audio version of this.

My name is Rachel Zabrina. I have gone by many names. When I was born my mother and most of my family called me Zabrina with a Z. When I started school, I officially went by Rachel. Rachel Walton, actually. My father is South African and my mother is Filipino and I was born in the prairies of Manitoba. Looking back on my 39 years on the planet, I have realized that my childhood (I once considered an incredible burden) was a blessing, a dream. My birth was not an easy one. Three weeks late and by emergency C-section. Looks like I didn't want to leave my mother's comfy womb just yet.

Maybe I knew what kind of world that I would live through. They shaved my head. And inserted injected antibiotics into my brain through my skull. They thought that since I was in the womb too long that I may have suffered brain damage. All accounts agree that I am in fact not brain damaged (I hope haha), but growing up I never felt like I fit in, never felt like I belonged anywhere.

My parents, they have these crazy stories of me as a kid, everything for me to open the door myself to going into the house with the key all on my own, and then nearly pushing the stroller down the street into oncoming traffic because I wanted to do it all by myself.

Then there's when I lost my voice from crying all night because I wanted to keep the TV on.

I loved television. I loved reading too, and I still do.

It's why I need to wear glasses. Too many late nights finishing a book past my bedtime led to glasses. I cosplay now and use coloured contacts so it's a way to have fun with something that I once deemed as something that would ruin my entire life. I bring this all back around to the point of truth, beauty, freedom, and love. It's about sharing those stories that make us who we are. 

This replay is about the Charter of the Forest, the companion document to the Magna Carta, and a foundational story to our civilization as it stands. I originally did this as part of the Rachel Z Project; but have realized… that the point of the stories is not necessarily who is telling them, but that those stories are told.

Have a beautiful one!
