A blessing or a curse?
Chapter 1
The Creator’s Gift
Once upon a time, in a world full of mystery, surrounded by all his magnificent creations, the Creator was busy creating away. As the creator did each morning, He held a soul and filled it with some light. Then he moulded the soul into a ball of light and split it in two. This was strange. Never before had the Creator split his creation this way! An angel, one of the Creator’s first creations, was watching in awe, as the Creator created. When he saw the soul being split, he asked, ‘why did you do that, Creator?’
The Creator replied, ‘This soul belongs to a loving & wise, old angel. It is too old & wise for a little boy. So I’m Creating a little boy and a little girl, to share the wisdom.’
The angel looked puzzled and asked again, ‘but won’t they grow old too?’
The Creator smiled and said, ‘of course they will, but only for those outside of them. My creations have all grown old, but sadly, none grow up anymore. Their souls are too old & only children grow up. My creations have lost their innocence. I want to see a grown up man and a grown up woman instead of an old man and an old woman. My old creations don’t look so magnificent any more. This little boy & this little girl will grow old with a soul of a child.
I’ll give him my hands to create and I’ll give her my wings to fly. They will play on the earth and also in the sky.
Together, they will plant the seeds of love from our world of mystery & their eternal home.’
The angel was thrilled but still looked confused, ‘Creator’, he said, ‘how will they meet each other?’
The creator replied, ‘They will find each other. They are the same soul.’ And as he said this, the Creator grabbed some light from the sun and filled the boy’s heart with it. Then he did the same with some light from the moon and filled the girl’s heart with it. The boy with the golden heart & the girl with the pure heart, were handed to the angel, who flew them to their earthly homes.
Chapter 2
Growing Up
The boy with the Golden heart, was named Sun. He was born into a home of respect & admiration, into all the riches of the world. He had the hands of the Creator. Everything he touched, turned to gold. He was gifted, and he was different. All the other children wanted to play with him because he was so different, so special. They were fascinated!
But they also bullied Sun, because he was so different, so special. They were fearful too! They wanted what he had but he wanted nothing. Sun already had everything. He just wanted to play & didn’t understand why they were so mean. He didn’t know he was gifted. They wanted his hands, they wanted his heart. Everything else, they already had. Sun began to play alone. With his hands, with his heart, with the sand and with the water, with the flowers and with the trees.
The girl with the pure heart was named Moon. She was born into a home of respect & knowledge. Although she was born in an environment of modest means, her mommy worked hard to give her everything she wanted. Everything the other children wanted. But Moon just wanted to fly. She was gifted and she was different. All the other children wanted to play with her because of her wings and her pure heart. They were fascinated!
But not many were allowed to play with her because of her wings and her pure heart. They were fearful too! She was the most popular girl in school. She had some friends, who loved to fly with her and take the kindness of her pure heart. But she didn’t understand why she never received much kindness back. She didn’t know she was gifted. They just wanted to fly with her. They wanted the love of her pure heart. There was nothing else that she had to give. Moon started playing alone. With her wings, with her heart, with the birds and with the clouds, with the fairies and with the angels.
Sun & Moon both lived in their own respective dream worlds. They were mischievous, always doing what they were told not to do. Their elders always scolded them. Sun was told,
‘you can’t be living in your dreams, This world is reality, and it screams. Don’t be hurting again, just do as I tell you to, Or just sit tight, and let me do it all for you.’
Moon’s elders said the same but her mommy always said it differently. Moon’s mommy told her,
‘you can’t be living in your dreams, This world is reality, and it screams. Even If you hurt again, still do as YOU want to, Don’t sit tight, fight for what feels right for you.
Sun just wanted to play and Moon just wanted to fly. He didn’t want to hurt and she didn’t want to fight.
Back in the world of mystery, the angel was saddened as he watched Sun and Moon playing alone. He said to the Creator, ‘The most precious creations of the Creator, play alone. One hurts & the other fights. It makes me sad. Why oh Creator, with all of their gifts? Oh Creator, tell me, is it a blessing or a curse?’
The Creator smiled, as he lovingly watched Sun sitting on a tree. He asked the angel,
‘Until they see that there is no Love, Why will they plant the seed of Love?’
The angel walked away, scratching his head, pondering over the answer.
Chapter 3
Falling in Love
The boy with the golden heart, grew up to be a fine young gentleman. Respected and admired. He was handsome. Many wanted to be his friend. He helped them as a true friend but he didn’t let them get too close. He remembered ‘growing up’. Then one day, he met a fine young lady and fell in love. They played together, in the sun and the sand, in the rain and the ocean.
It was so fresh, it felt like love, & it was fun. Forgot his hands for love, this little boy Sun!
Until one day, it was no more. The love was gone and Sun was left heart broken. He said to God,
‘I can’t be living in my own dreams, This world is reality, and it screams. Love ain’t real, if it is just show it to me, Now I’ll create my life, as I want it to be.
Sun remembered his hands but had forgotten how to play with them. His friends were there to help him but he was different. He was special. Everyone wanted his gifted hands & his Golden heart.
Meanwhile, the girl with the pure heart, grew up to be a fine young lady. She was beautiful, smart & kind. Many wanted to be her friend but were always too scared to approach her. Now she didn’t bother too much about wanting friends. All she wanted was to love & to fly. One day, she met a young gentleman. He was shy and he loved to create. He was so sad. Moon wanted to give him some love.
It felt like love & she wanted it oh so soon, Traded her wings for love, this little girl Moon.
Until one day, all she wanted was just to be happy. Her man said he’d be happy with a castle in the sand. She wanted to fly, but she wanted to be happy more. Moon prayed to God,
‘I can’t be living in my own dreams, This world is reality, and it screams. Take away my wings, and give me the hands, To create the castle, he wants in the sands.’
The Creator granted Moon her wish with a condition. The creator said,
‘I’ll grant you your wish, ‘coz I love you, Go build your castle, foolish you two. He’s my child, I’ll love him till the end day, But when the castle is built, you’ll do as I say.’
Moon agreed and although she missed her wings, she started to build the sand castle in hopes of happiness. As the castle progressed, there was still no sign of happiness. She was still so alone.
From the World of mystery, the angel watched and was saddened yet again. He asked the Creator, ‘one has his hands back but forgets how to play with them. The other gave her wings away just for a castle in the sand. He thinks he is in control of his life and she thinks she can build happiness. A heart of gold and a pure heart, still alone and also sad. Oh Creator, tell me now, is it a blessing or a curse?’
The Creator smiled, as he lovingly watched Moon gazing into the stars. He asked the angel,
‘Until they see, that there is no Love, Why will they plant, the seed of Love?’
The angel had no answer. He flew away with his head hanging down with grief.
Chapter 4
The Meeting
Moon’s sand castle was almost nearing the end but there was still no sign of happiness. Moon missed her wings but she hoped happiness would come instead. Then one day, Moon met Sun and there was a spark. With Sun also came happiness. Suddenly, the boy with the golden heart had illuminated the darkness in the pure heart of the little girl Moon. She started glowing like the moon herself. Moon was so confused, so puzzled. She asked God,
‘Why do I shine, like the moon Oh Lord? And why do I feel, this undeniable cord?’
The Creator laughed, ‘Hahaha’, and he replied,
‘My child, the moon don’t shine, without the sun, In the light you’re one, and in the light he will run. But don’t you chase, and don’t you run any day! I’ll finish the castle, now you’ll do as I say!’
Moon remembered her promise to God and said,
‘I’ll do as you say, I remember that day, I’ll walk alone too, if you show me that way. But what is this gift, I see in him oh lord? I must have it too, because of the cord?’
The Creator laughed again, ‘Hahahaha’, and continued,
‘Don’t you see my hands in his? Now fly with your wings, here it is!’
The Creator returned Moon’s wings to her and also gave her a seed of love. Now she knew how to build a castle in the sand but had forgotten how to fly. But she was happy to have her wings back. Sun & Moon started to play in silence. 🤫
As they’d play, the light would grow, Glowing happiness, that would show.
The angel watching from the world of mystery, was happy for the first time in a long time. He saw hope but still remembered what the Creator had told Moon, ‘In the light you’re one, and in the light he will run’. He asked the Creator, ‘sun & Moon both have their gifts now but forget how to play with them. Oh Creator, tell me, will it be a blessing or a curse?
The Creator smiled, as he lovingly watched Sun & Moon playing a game. He asked the angel,
‘Until he sees, that indeed there is Love, How will they plant, the seed of Love?’
The angel was too happy to even register what the Creator said and he flew off humming a love song.
Chapter 5
The Seed of Love
The meeting was divine but their play didn’t last long. Exactly as the Creator had told Moon, as the light grew, Sun began to run as far as he could. Moon tried in every way she knew to love him. But he didn’t want any love. He feared Moon’s love. The Creator had warned Moon not to chase, but she did it anyway. She became sad. She began to feel like there was something wrong with her. Her sand castle was built and she was now alone again. She was scared but she had her wings and she had a seed of Love.
Watching Moon so helpless, the angel became sad again. Without asking the Creator, he decided to help Sun & Moon out a bit. One night, the angel appeared in Moon’s dream and told her that Sun was always watching out for her. She didn’t believe it as Sun wouldn’t even speak to her. But the angel guided her to the places where Sun was keeping an eye on her from. The angel said, ‘Sun just wants to play.’ Moon asked the angel, ‘so why don’t he say so?’ The angel smiled and replied, ‘he doesn’t know how to.’
Moon felt humbled. Her love for Sun grew. She became happy again & started to watch out for Sun too, at the same places he kept an eye on her from. She started to glow like the moon again. Sun & Moon watched out for each other, unaware that others watched in on them. They wanted to play the game too but Sun & Moon were playing with their gifts now. The others were fascinated! They tried to spoil the game. They were jealous too! And they were fearful too!
Moon became tired of the others watching in and she still hadn’t remembered how to fly again. Moon decided not to play anymore and learn how to fly again. The Creator & the angel on watching this, became very concerned. Moon held the seed of Love. The Creator asked the angel to guide Moon back to Love and teach her how to fly. The angel disguised himself as a new friend and asked Moon, ‘What is the matter?’ Moon told the angel,
‘All I want, is to give him my love, He plays with me, like a lone Dove.’ So let go of Love, I just wanna fly, Fly back to meet, my friends in the sky.’
The angel hugged Moon and said to her, for the first time in rhyme,
‘There’s a school I know, to learn to fly, I’m a teacher there, I’ll take you to the sky.’
Moon was thrilled but wondered if it was really possible to fly again. As she remembered her flights, she said to the angel,
‘I love my wings, more than my Prada purse, But I wonder often, is it a blessing or a curse?’
The angel smiled, as he looked into Moon’s pure heart. He softly said within himself,
‘Until you see, the power of love, How will you plant the seed of Love?’
Chapter 6
The Mystery School ✨
The angel took Moon to a mystery school, where she met others like herself, for the first time. She met others with so many different gifts. She made friends, who didn’t want anything from her. They all had their own gifts, which they shared and they cared. She couldn’t believe that there was a world like this.
At the Mystery school She started to remember how to fly and she also started to heal her love. She learnt
Love is unconditional, it only gives, Don’t ask for nothing & it always lives.
Moon was filled with so much love at the mystery school, that she didn’t long for Sun’s love anymore. But she still longed to give him all her love. Then something mysterious happened. Moon now started to feel Sun’s love. He was still scared but he wanted love now. Love overcame them both. They started to play again. The others started to watch again. They ignited the fear. They created a mess. Moon’s Love was ’too much’. Sun feared hurting so he ran again.
Then one day, there could be no more play, Both hearts broken, there was nothing to say. Silence took over, but the love was still there. Moon’s tired of fighting, still there’s care.
Moon cried to the angel and begged,
‘He don’t love me, please let him go, Let me go too, if he wants it so.’
The angel asked Moon, ‘did Sun say, he wants to let go?’ Moon replied,
‘No my teacher, but it’s all I want to know, Does he wannna play, or he want me to go?’
The angel smiled and he said,
‘Until he says so, keep loving him my friend, Until happily ever after, it’s never the end. Whenever he knocks, just give him your love, Don’t ask for his, love him like a lone dove. And when he is gone, with your wings just fly, Bring back some gifts, to share from the sky.’
Hope returned in Moon’s eyes. Moon knew she could do this. but she wanted to be loved too. She said to the angel,
‘I will do as you say, God sent you my way, But what about love, Will I too be a lone dove?’
The angel promised Moon,
‘I promise you dear love, You’re not a lone dove, Love is what you are, Share it my shining star.’
The angel went to the Creator and said, ‘I’m doing my best and leaving the rest. Her Love is so pure, it melts my heart. I promised her she won’t be alone. But tell me oh Creator, her heart, is it a blessing or a curse?’
The Creator smiled as he lovingly watched Sun playing with his hands, creating something colourful. He said to the angel,
‘Now they see, that indeed there is love, Now they can plant the seed of love.’
The angel was hopeful that Sun would love again some day.
Chapter 7
The Power of Love ❤️
The pure heart, she started sharing her love, as gifts she brought, from the skies above.
Moon was getting better at flying. She was busy practicing flying and sharing gifts. Meanwhile, and all this while, Moon was aware that Sun was watching out for her. He intently watched everything she shared. But what she was unaware of, was the power of Love.
One day, as she was sharing her love for all who needed it, the angel came along and interrupted her. He grabbed her by both her arms & pulled her into the mystery room. Looking into a mirror, the angel showed Moon a story. The story of A boy with the golden heart. He said the Creator wanted Moon to know. Her heart was filled with Love.
He then showed her Sun. Today.
Moon saw Sun, sharing love, spreading joy. She was so happy, just to see him enjoy. She longed to play, it wasn’t sour, He was turning, their PAIN into POWER!
Moon’s eyes were filled with tears of joy. She hugged the angel and said to him,
‘Oh divine being, is this magic I see? He is now love, now is it meant to be?’
The angel looked at Moon with Love and said,
‘There’s no magic, only a subtle mystery, Love is the present, the rest is history. You keep sharing, let him create, Love is so rare, at first it will irritate. Live only to see, the flower blossom, Whatever will be, will be awesome.’
So now … Sun & Moon play sometimes
Love costs a lot more, than a Prada purse, But it’s a blessing, it only looks like a curse. So now Sun creates, with the hands of Love and Moon shares stories, from the skies above.
And so she shares
