The Dragon and a Precious Treasure






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.
