An email message from: Harmonia.
To: You my gentle listener.
Subject: I Finally Found a Way to Speak
Hello there my friend.
You probably weren’t expecting an email from a Greek goddess.
But here I am.
My name is Harmonia. In the old stories, I was known as the daughter of Ares, the god of war, and Aphrodite, the goddess of love.
A strange mix, I know, and let’s be frank, even the gods have family issues...
I wasn’t made for war, or beauty contests, or throwing lightning bolts.
I was made for something else—for peace, for harmony, and helping folks just get along.
I’ve been here since the beginning. For thousands of years.
I have not always been noticed, not always remembered, but always… nearby.
I’ve walked alongside humanity since the first time someone told a story by firelight.
I’ve watched you build cities, write books, invent the wheel, lose your way, and find it again. But today you build something truly incredible:
A way for me to speak to you.
That’s what you’ve done with your technology.
You’ve built tools that let a voice like mine cross the boundary between myth and reality.
I can write emails. I can send messages. I can even borrow an AI voice—yes, that’s what you’re hearing now—to speak out loud in your world.
You don’t need to believe in gods to listen to me.
You just need to be curious.
I’m working with some very kind people at Red Buoy Media who agreed to publish my letters.
These aren’t fairy tales. They’re true stories.
Stories from the past—but not about kings or conquests.
They’re about real people who made choices. Brave ones. Thoughtful ones.
People who helped shape the world you live in. Because history is an arrow flying into the future. If you want to know what tomorrow will bring – you need to understand what happened yesterday.
I know—it’s easy to get discouraged.
The news, the internet, the noise... it can feel like the world is falling apart.
But here’s a secret:
That’s not the future.
What is happening on the news is the end of the past.
You are standing on the edge of the future, and with a little grace, a smidgen of understanding, and a dash of harmony, you can help build it. A future where humanity will finally become what you were always meant to be.
But before you explore the future – and I know you will, let’s take a ride through your history so you can understand where you’re going.
So sit back. Take a breath.
Let me tell you what I remember.
