The story of the Sacred Fence: an ancient and ongoing tale of the City of Portland, in several parts:
Once upon a time, the people of the city of Portland embarked on a journey to the Heart of Downtown. Upon arriving there, they encountered the Hall of Justice. #sacredfence 1/
Once upon a time, the people of the city of Portland embarked on a journey to the Heart of Downtown. Upon arriving there, they encountered the Hall of Justice. #sacredfence 1/
Now, all of the Justice in all the land was gathered up, by the Protectors of Justice, and stored away deep within the Hall. This left the people of the land with no justice at all for themselves, and so they could have no peace 2/
As the people of the land found themselves hungry for justice, a few among them sought to break open the caches of justice kept inside the hall, to release it into the world. The justice which leaked out made the people giddy, and they danced and twirled through the town. 3/
As they danced, they would find other boxes, and cracked them open as well, to share the things inside with all the world. This made the Guardians of Justice mad with rage, and they cast spells of sickening smoke and thunder upon the people. 4/
At last, seeing that their spells did not frighten the people, the Guardians erected their Sacred Fence, and retreated behind it in fear. They would come out each day, and warn all who listened of the dire punishments for tampering with their beloved fence. 5/
But the people, also, were allured by the beautiful fence. And so now, every day, the people of the city would come hoping to touch the wondrous fence, and lay it on the!ground, so it could rest, and grow in its glory 6/
On that day, the Fence and its people will all Chill Out together, and we will, all of us, enter the Cool Zone, forever after. -fin-
