Mrs. White

She woke up in a world that was so different. Everything was white. She only saw that color. She was not even afraid of this new color. She embraced it with her heart and soul. At first she missed the colors that she had known for ages, but that feeling crossed the borders of space and time. Then it was gone. Her heart was free to live again. Prison break for the daring souls. Now what? She was free to undertake whatever would make her happy. Like a young bird looking from its nest into the big wide world for the very first time. Stretching its wings and positioning itself for the first big flight.

Her arms and legs had become a part of a different shape. A new shape. Unusual for her being. The mirror in her white room revealed who she was now. The swan in the mirror stared at her. Elegantly it moved its feathers. In slow motion. Time enough to reveal its true colors. Different shades of white. She grasped why she was white. She was a member of the swan tribe. Not suddenly. It was a process. With a kiss at birth and a kiss till the last breath. She signed up for this transformation. It was part of her true calling.

She had to learn to communicate and to walk again. Finding a new balance is a gorgeous exercise of the soul. All her previous memories went to dust. They were removed. Everything was lost. Or maybe everything was a winning experience. The only thing that remained was her foundation. She found herself. Her wings were white and deliciously light. In her nest they looked somewhat similar to bed sheets. Not far from her a glorious being was bathing in the water. He was so similar to her. Other swans welcomed her. She was clearly home.

A performance on stage instead of a breakfast scene. A royal swan dance in the spotlights. All beings gave the best of themselves and received all respect and grace. The sound could have come from heaven. Her swan dress adapted itself to her body. It became one with her instead of the opposite. She did not have to fit in. She was a fit from nature. Her fellow swan noticed her. It was obvious that they belonged together. Their names were written in the scripts of eternal love. Her intuition knew it. They loved each other the first minute that they felt each other. 

After a few weeks Mrs. White could fly. Her wings were strong and huge. A beautiful swan learned to live her life as it was meant to be. She did not have to do it alone. Her soulmate was there with her. She could only see him the moment she became a mate to her own soul. That is one of the best kept secrets. Never told before. Everyone has to discover the road to freedom. All attachments lose color once we start to see who we truly are. We are not the the onces that others made us believe. We need to explore ourselves first. With that knowledge we can build our wings ...
