Treasure

Once upon a time there was a mom who had a little girl, and really the mom was just a girl herself, so having a little girl wasn’t something the mom could quite grasp. The little girl was a treasure but she was a hidden treasure because the mom (who was really just a girl) couldn’t see. Then one day the mom was older and though she was really just a girl herself, she began to see the treasure of the little girl and she began to treasure her. But the little girl couldn’t see because the mom hadn’t seen, and so the little girl went away and became a treasure lost, but a treasure still seen in the heart of the mom. And the mom, who wasn’t such a little girl anymore, wanted to go away too because she finally saw her treasure, but her treasure was lost. And so the mom went away, far away, where she could be as alone as she felt, and she hid there. She’d lost her treasure, and it was all her fault because she couldn’t see, and now that she could see, her treasure was lost, and she was angry and alone and… nothing. She had grasped her treasure, but it was too late, and then the treasure was out of her grasp, running, running, running. And the mom was angry, and scared. The mom was finished. She was away, and alone, and she was finished, without her treasure she was nothing.

“Go back,” the Wind said. “Go back. We are with you.”

“I won’t go back,” the mom said. “I want to wait here for my treasure. Maybe she will come to me.”

“There are other treasures waiting,” said Wind. “Go back. Your eyes are open and you must safely keep them, while you can. Forgive, pour out What is in you, because that is what makes the unseen treasure come to life, and that is what makes the lost treasure found again. If you don’t go back, your unseen will become your lost, again, and again, and again.”

The Wind wrapped around the mom and held her, and she felt held and wrapped up in Truth. “I will go back and see, and pour out. I will leave my lost treasure with the Wind and I will go back and give myself to Life and I will trust.”

“And I will hold her, and I will hold you, even though you are far apart, because I am with you, always.”
