070 - The Prince Who Became a Tree, for the Rose
One beautiful morning, the Prince went to the Magical Garden of Flowers to visit his Little Rose.
The nature of the Garden is human, because every Tree has been created by the Mind of Man, who loves the pieces of Nature. That is why he will always protect it, because he is responsible for their Life. Every time, he prepares to enjoy its company, its Fragrance. He knows that it is good to enjoy life and to have the wide smile of Joy, so that he has powers inside him at the hour of every struggle. Because it is the only way the Soul values his life. He had told his Little Rose earlier that he wanted to have a Bond with it. That is, a timeless Relationship based on the Free Will of both. Every Relationship has its meaning, but it must become a Bond to acquire Value. The Little Rose, however, had not answered him. The Prince never touches it, because he does not want to spoil its petals. He respects its Sensitivity.
When the Bud opens with Slowness, the Enjoyment grows. Every Moment turns into an Event, and the Light brings the Essence with ease, because everything is perfection of Harmony.
The Prince knows that there is no reason to resist the Bond,
because it is stronger even than Temptation. Because it acts catalytically within the framework of Harmony, which overcomes all obstacles due to Need. He tells her: -I belong to no one, because I am part of the World. I am not anyone’s property. I function with Free Will.
-I, however, need Serenity and Quiet… If you want, you can Pray for these for me. The Prince remained speechless at her statement. He always Prays, because he Loves it. -I would like to ask you something, and I would like you to answer me honestly. I would like to ask you about my external Form.
Not for my Fragrance. Only for my Form, for my Shape. As a Rose that I am, do you like me? The Flower, as Life, asks… He knew that in the garden he would not find only one Flower, but in his Little Rose he had invested Time, and it was Special for him. – YES! I like you, you are very Beautiful, and I will also tell you what you cause me when we are Together. He never tells her Lies, he is absolutely Honest with her. The Rose made no statement in his answer, but surely she took the joy of confirmation. – May I ask you something in turn? I would like you to be Honest with me too. Have you felt any Attraction for me? The Prince, as Soul, has Need. He knows that when he fights for the Need of the Soul, Life asks for nothing.
-You will remain with the Wonder. -With the Wonder? Okay, it is enough for me. But after the Prince thought about it again, he tells her: -My Little Rose, I do not want to remain with the Wonder, I would like an answer. A yes or a no. Clearly.
-Have you felt any Attraction for me? The Flower remained silent. The Prince waits with Anxiety… -NO... The Prince Cracked into countless pieces, yet he did not Break.
The Little Rose lacked delicacy, it did not understand his Sensitivities. It trampled on his Feelings. Perhaps because it never perceived their Existence within its own life. It is not only the situations that are to blame for everything. It is certainly also the Character who, due to Cowardice, hides what he might want to say… Fortunately, the Soul of the Prince needed only Harmony. It needed no Compromise and no Balance. At that same Moment it began to Calm down and to feel the reality of that Harmony. It had difficulty Seeing it. It had to first free its Being. He knew that it was not necessary or essential, when he Loves something or someone, to wait for the same return of Love. Instantly a Wonder was created for him. If the Flower, since it did not cause him Attraction, was neutral toward him, or if it had reached the worst, the Aversion. But… He could not ask that question to his Little Rose at that Moment. He left it for another time, because of his devastation. Or perhaps never. The Prince had freed himself from Existence. He lived truly. He had realized how miserable Existence is when it has not been transformed into Life.
He understood that the Soul must be freed in order to live the Joy of the Light. From his countless pieces emerged the Light of his Soul, but his Essence kept it in coherence. He now knows not to seek a Goal that has no Meaning, and he focused on his Essence and his Light to regain his Powers.
He wanted to tell his Little Rose that only when one touches the Essence will see the Light. And if one does not see the Essence, it is because does not want to See it. Because even right next to it, it remains Invisible. After all, when one closes their eyes, does not see the Light, without meaning that it does not exist. The Prince says to his Little Rose: -Whatever you love, let it go.
-Something leaves when you have it… The one you Love, do you have it? For it to leave…? Love is everywhere! She told him. The Prince put his dignity in his Suitcase and departed… He wanted to remain Alone and Silent, using the Language of the Trees. He knew that a Tree is a Flower for Ages.
At that moment he made a Wish in the Magical Garden of Flowers: To become a Tree, and his Leaves to become Pages that Humans will water with the Ink of their Soul. And like a Tree, to be able to Live Together with the Flowers, as well as in the Memories of People for millennia, through Books.
-My Soul! -Do you recognize my Sacrifice?
