THE GOLDEN PEARL
In the land where pride was a
culture and glittering, their elegance existed a golden pearl. Since
dreams were associated with children, the little pearl was hungry and
curios to search for adventure and secret of the world. Her mother told
her not to be in rush as the world, in the meantime, would reveal itself
to her.
One
day, the powerful current of the river moved them to the most dangerous
point in their environment: the tip of the river. The little pearl saw
from afar a fierce fire burning so high. She asked her mother what it
was and her mother said to her, "That is the messiah of every Gold." If
you want to experience the usefulness of your existence, you must be
picked by a hand and be willing to dance through that fire"
"The
process of transformation is quite painful and terrible however, if you
want to unleash the essence of your beauty, you must surrender
yourself to this ritual."
The
young pearl, after the day she saw fire, went back to the spot to
listen to the melody of waves. She sat contemplating her beauty. She
slept off and dreamed about the magic hands and the beauty her mother
mentioned to her. She saw the ritual of beauty.
What she saw in her dream grieved her and at the same time, prepared her mind to what the reality is. One afternoon while afloat in the middle of the river, a fish swallow her. She was moved around inside the fish until one morning when she was released into a world absolutely different from where she'd been.
In her tenderness she saw the physical hands, pampering her in an outstanding manner. She was kept in a royal paradise. In the paradise she was kept she received from other rubies, an envious and contemptible look which to her was not just strange but inconsequential.
After that moment, she was transported to the place where there is visibility of fire and heat. She saw her kind of pearls in different styles, ego and elegance. She looks herself differently until she heard a voice from one corner directed at her. she was called 'raw' and 'untamed'.
She saw her difference and uniqueness. She might be young, however, she is a ruby the world is in search of. She learnt about her prestige and deference in the envy and contempt from other rubies in the paradise. She was picked again by the magic hand to be thrown into the fiercest of the fierce fire burning before her. She thought about her mother and her words: "dancing in the fire is part of every ruby's destiny''.
As she was flung into the fire, she melted into joy and pain simultaneously. She understand the same experience that made the fish that swallowed her purge the strange liquid out of her; blood. She understand the destiny of the fish was like her but the only difference was that, she is eternal and priceless however, the fish, is destined to be dead.
After the initiation, she was brought into a cage of wonder where eminent people gather to savor the extraordinaire of life. She was showered with plenitude of respect that etch on her path, a glorious praise.
