My Dragon is small wounded
me who doesn’t want to get hurt any more. My wounded me is residing as a
dragon in the front of the cave and guarding the treasure. The Dragon believes
that it has to be watching out that no one can steel or harm the treasure. The
Treasure is located in the middle of the cave and shining dimly there. It is a
beautiful gemstone – a diamond – but its light cannot shine there the way it
could outside the cave.
The diamond has been polished
beautifully and it could shine so nicely if it would be taken out of the cave
but the Dragon doesn’t want to let it go. It is afraid that someone would
destroy the treasure or take it away.
The Dragon doesn’t understand that
the treasure doesn’t shine so well inside the cave and its value is decreased
there in the darkness of the cave. It doesn’t know how beautiful the diamond is
in the sunshine. It has no clue of the whole beauty of the treasure yet it
knows that the diamond it is guarding is something extremely valuable and
special.
While the Dragon imprisoned the
treasure it imprisoned itself and it continues guarding, it continues being a
capture and a prisoner.
Finally the Dragon is tired and
sick of being held in front of the cave and it sees how so many other treasures
have been delighting in the world and the Dragons are flying free. It sees how
the other treasures get appreciation after they have been brought out from the
cave, when the sun is shining upon them and the light and all the colors are
radiating in and from them. It sees how the diamond’s beauty is multiplied
through the hearts, eyes and smiles of the others and how the beauty and
radiance of all the treasures is ever brighter through and with each other.
Oh – and then the Dragon sees it –
it understands that the treasure has to be revealed, brought out from the cave,
it has to let it shine and enlighten, bring the beauty and colors outside and
around. The diamond is meant to be available and shown, it is meant to shine
with the other treasures. Its purpose is to add the value and beauty of the
other treasures by shining together.
The Dragon understands that the
treasure, the diamond, which it had been guarding for so long time is a soul
and it is a beauty of human emotions and human experience and by releasing the
treasure it has released itself. A long heavy sigh is coming out of its chest.
The Dragon feels relief and gratitude that it finally let itself to see the
fullness and the beauty and the radiance of the treasure which it had been
hiding. Finally it was able to give the freedom for both of them. Now that the
treasure is free for everyone to enjoy and delight of the beauty of it some of
the other guarding Dragons and their guarded treasures get inspired and
encouraged to get free. All the treasures could now shine and radiate together
and they are ever more beautiful together.
Now the Dragon has fulfilled its
job and purpose, it has polished the treasure by guarding it and then brought
it outside to be seen. The treasure looks and feels even more beautiful and
shines more from inside and out when being with other treasures and it is ready
to extend its radiance ever farther.
Finally the Dragon can fly freely
in the sky and it is so grateful for its newly found freedom.
The release of the treasure is
freedom for both of them - for the guard and the guarded. Freedom is healing of
my wounded me. Although there still are some scars the wounds have started to
heal and the scars too will be healed one day. It has been healed so much that
it can release itself and release the Dragon.
