One Daily Tale

Guruko and Cha Cha

Guruko was raised on a small island, hidden from the rest of the world. She lived with her Grandma Luna, who often reminded her:

“Listening is a gift you should use as often as you can.”

Her closest companion was a platypus who fancied himself a philosophical writer. Guruko had named him Cha Cha. Taking Grandma Luna’s words to heart, she believed it was only natural to understand the voices of animals, plants, and all living things.

She learned much by exploring the wonders of the island—studying everything she could from Cha Cha, from Grandma Luna, from many books, and especially one titled One Daily Tale, which told the story of the Seven Shapes of Esperia…

But what Guruko didn’t yet know was that the world beyond her island wasn’t as peaceful as the smiling clouds drifting through her skies…

    The young Espers were surprised by this lesson from Vati, the Shape of Wisdom. They believed Vati knew everything—that no question was ever left unanswered—since she was respected as the wisest of all in Esperia. Yet, it was Vati who said “I don’t know” the most. Ironic, isn’t it? But having the courage to accept

    The presence of Atma, the Shape of Balance, made it easy for the Espers to remember the importance of maintaining equilibrium across their entire planet. Because they understood that they all shared the same common world, it became evident to them that they should cherish the land that provided their food and the natural Aether

    Losing a loved one may be the most tragic event you ever experience. Naturally, the closer the person, the more devastating the loss.

A natural bond is formed during pregnancy and through breastfeeding, a period when, as newborns, we are entirely dependent on our parents’ care and love. How we feel about our parents will naturally change with time and circumstances.

    This may sound obvious, but as you eat healthier, you become healthier. Yet, when we look at what is consumed in the wealthiest countries on our planet, it simply doesn’t make sense. Companies earning millions of dollars sell sugar-filled foods and drinks—because they sell. Why? Because adding sugar makes the product addictive, and your brain

    Eklea, the Shape of Awareness, pondered where to begin if a civilization had no knowledge of the Seven Shapes. Surely, neither harmony nor peace could exist in such a world. There was so much to unpack—especially for the youngest ones, who would have to absorb so much and try to discern what truly makes sense
