A Fairy Tale, Through the Golden Gate

"Shall we go?!" the little girl exclaimed excitedly. She was looking forward to a golden gate and was eager to go.
"We will go, we will go," said 'the big me' firmly. Although the big me was still a bit thoughtful and full of questions, staring at the golden gate.

Driven by the little girl, she gave a big smile, gathered all her courage, and took a step toward the gate. "Yes, it is the task we must fulfill, we may go." But just as she wanted to step forward, a wall of dust appeared before her, and she couldn’t move any further. The little girl looked shocked. "Weren’t we supposed to go?"

The golden gate remained unchanged in the distance.

Once more, the big me tried to take a step, but she was pushed back and turned around. A shock went through her. "This can’t be right, we were supposed to go through the gate…"

Brave and wise enough, she knew she had to look at what was still behind her before she could move forward. Even though she thought she had done this so many times. Maybe she had forgotten something. She looked and saw the shadow of her past. But instead of facing old pain, the past only asked her to thank it for all it had brought her. It then transformed into a cape of light around her shoulders.

With a sigh of relief, she thanked once again ‘that which lay behind her.’

The little girl felt the change and leaped joyfully into the arms of the big me. The big me turned around, looked at the gate, and started walking.

Much love, Chantal, wishing you a beautiful journey ahead, as another gate awaits. ❣🙌
