The Art Of Allowing

Sweet morning. School days. Classroom filled. Curious younger ones. Age 10. Grateful beings. Full of joy. Happy inner voices. Ready to learn something new. The teacher present. "Today's assignment is a special one", she said. All eyes on her. She was used to it. She loved teaching. Supporting others to find their path in life. Empowering them to let them soar. Outside the sun was shining. Just like that. For free. Nature was stunning. Colors so pure. Birds singing. A song of hope. Trees in peace.

"Suppose you want something", the teacher asked, "what would you do to get it?" The children looked at each other. With questions in their innocent eyes. A brave boy expressed his thoughts with a delightful voice: "I will ask my mother. She always knows how to get what she wants!" The other ones were laughing. It sounded so wild and free. "Well, what would your mother reply?", the teacher continued. The boy reflected some minutes. He tried to imagine what his mother would say. The classroom silent.

Suddenly the boy told his story. This is what he said: "When my mother fell in love with my father, she sent him a poem. Intuitively she felt that he was the right one. She focused all her time and attention on creating the most beautiful words. Coming from a divine source, her lovely heart. She put her deepest emotions in the poem. Full of love. She prayed and asked that the love of her life would be touched by her love. Then she gave the poem to the post man. He promised to deliver the poem. It arrived at its destination. Then my mother did nothing". The whole classroom expected more.

The boy laughed. A girl with long blond hair was too curious. She reacted: "How could she get what she wanted, and do nothing else?" The boy continued: "My mother told me this lesson. When you really want something, you ask it. Remain positive. If you desire it with all your heart, you do not have to worry about how and when you will get it. You let it go. Like a bird in a cage. You open the cage. It spreads its wings. If it really belongs to you, it will come back when it is ready for you. As simple as that."

"All we have to do, is to let the desire go?", said his friends. "Yes", the boy replied, "my mother told me that when you want something, you express your desire out loud. It will be given to you when you are patient and keep the faith. You only have to feel that you deserve it. Then allow and accept it when the right moment comes." The whole class was excited. Was it really so easy? The teacher was proud of the boy. Grateful for this wonderful story. "For today's homework, each of you can express his or her deepest wishes. We will keep records of the wishes coming true this year."

Golden stars. Mirroring dreams. Seen in the children's eyes. A classroom full of magnificent stories. Each star unfolding a wonderful project. The book of dreams felt how its chapters were growing. More and more. Right in that moment. No doubt. It was all planned. It would be manifested in reality. A matter of time. Dreams matching with the vibrational frequencies of thoughts and feelings. Living in the hearts and minds of these superb souls. The teacher noted in her agenda for that day: 'And so it is'. They say that all dreams came true. One by one. Simple plan. Magic unfolding.
