The Twin Gorillas


THE SWAN LAKE

The name of the lake is so familiar and our expectations are heading in a certain direction. But what happens? Yes, “Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans (quote John Lennon – Beautiful Boy)”. I could not agree more. We have a situation here; a boy (beautiful?), the gracious swans and the lake. And we have questions. Many questions! I am sorry to tell you there is no answer to get from Gorilla, nor from the swans, and the lake is resting in absolute silence. Enter the stage, get involved and you may experience something never experienced before. Search in your memory, in the gaps between the big events.

How Gorilla 1 managed to make his way to The Swan Lake is to me unintelligible. What ever reason, this leads me to introducing the inseparable siblings Gorilla 1 and Gorilla 2, a boy and a girl. I’ll have to go far back in time, to the very beginning of the history of mankind.
A baby born!!! The message created waves of enthusiasm and relief far outside Paradise. Like rings in the water it spread to all corners of the world. Then another message came! It was like Earth was holding her breath… Next message exceeded all expectations. Another one!!! Two babies saw the heavenly light reflected on earth this unusual day! Never ever had anyone heard about such a miracle.
Adam and Eve, the caretakers of Paradise, had become parents to twins. The evolution had however proceeded so extremely quickly, and giving birth could be a real surprise those days.
Take your time Ladies and Gentlemen. Evolution has used millions of years. A couple of minutes should be as nothing compared. As Pablo Picasso so wisely expressed; “We all know that art is not the truth, art is a lie that makes us realize the truth.” So please take the time needed.
