The Three Gifts
A long time ago, before time was created, the Great Mother gave birth to a little girl. Great was the day when she born, for all the stars from the many Galaxies were so happy that they make a beautiful celebration and unite together. The Great Mother and the Great Father were so happy for their little girl, that they created a planet just for her. Their master creation of the planets, and they told her, “My little one, go into the world and create beauty everywhere, go and have fun, go and be happy, go and experience yourself, and I will give you your first 3 gifts. When you learn to use them, I will give you another set of 3, and so forth. For now, I will give you a butterfly, a star, and flowers….”
So the little girl came to planet earth, to create beauty, have fun in the creation, be happy, and experience herself in a beautiful world….
She arrived into a realm of beauty, and her parents loving her so much. Her grandmother told her as soon as she arrived, you have come as a blessing for all of us. The girl smiled, for she knew that she always has been a blessing….
She learned quickly how to relate with her gifts. She put her star as a necklace so that it will shine her path forever… “She was born with a star“, as the old ones have spoken. She put her flowers of the rainbow colors in a little pot, inside of a back pack, so the butterfly will fly around her and around her flowers all the time…. She came with the 3 gifts, now was the time for her to learn about them….
Everywhere she went she found love. Everywhere she was, beauty was created. The smell of her flowers was everywhere around her, her butterfly was her very, very best friend…
When people looked at this girl, they were having great thoughts, they were having great creations. Good things came when she was around, they all love her so much, and want to be around her so much, and keep her. But in her heart she felt that she needed to go everywhere, and not just only one place.
The people called her, the Ixpapalotli Girl, Butterfly Girl, just that simple. And the words of the people fly away, like a guided butterfly, and went everywhere. So everywhere she went, people recognized her and love her so much, because of the blessings she brought to the people,
She loves the people so much, and makes so many good friends among them. She told them that they have their own gifts, too and for the people to be happy and enjoy themselves. She told the people how beautiful they are, she reminded the people about the Great Mother and Father. She told the people many stories so they could remember who they were. She stayed there among the people as long as she could, but her heart wanted to experience herself and the three gifts…
She saw beauty everywhere. She saw the rainbows in the big waterfalls, she saw the birds with big wings and she saw the grandfather trees. She learns so quickly that she could communicate with everything around her, language is not a problem. She is never alone, she is so happy with so many friends. Some, they want to keep her, some they already knew where they came from…
The eagles and the condors soon taught her how to fly, how to experience the flight, and she became an expert, for there were no boundaries for her to experience herself. She experienced being with the dear and bears, she experienced being on top of the mountains, and the trees and the ocean! She experienced being friends with the dolphins and whales, and experienced all the beautiful animals everywhere in the world. Happiness was everywhere, for beauty, was her way….
One time, she was talking to a very, very, very old tree, a beautiful old grandfather tree, and learning through his experiences. For that grandfather has seen so much beauty. She was ready to go into the mountains again, when her back pack was tangled in one of the branches. She moved back and forth in her flight until she got loose…. When she arrived on top of the mountain, she realized that her little back pack had a hole and the flowers fell somewhere between the tree and the top of the mountain….
She looked around and around, and went back to ask grandfather if he saw them. She was sad for the very first time ever, a feeling that she didn’t know what it was. She felt that there was something that she lost, and the loss created a new feeling. Something that was so hard for her to recognize …. What was that?
Grandfather told her, no my Butterfly Girl, I haven’t seen your flowers, but I do know one thing, everything is ok… She sat by the river in a beautiful shady tree. Her beautiful friend the dear came to her, and told her, just look around…. The Butterfly Girl said “yes my friend, there are flowers all around, but I want my flowers, they were a gift from my Great Mother!”
The wind gently refreshed her, and the tree stretched her branches and hugged and caressed her, and wiped her tears. And the wind sang for her, a lullaby. The flowers all turned to see her, and smiled at her. Her butterfly went around all the flowers, and brought the essence of the flowers to her. The dance of creation was bringing her into a deep sleep, and she was tired…..
Her friend the eagle came to her, and tried to awaken her, but the Butterfly Girl was so sleepy that she didn’t answer. So the eagle went into her dreams where she was already with the Great Mother. As the wind kept on singing the lullaby, her friend told her, come with me and look what you have done. The eagle took her all the way to the mountains, and to the rainbow at the waterfalls, and to the deserts and the forest. Everywhere they have been flying together with many of her friends, and everywhere was full of flowers! A rainbow of colors of flowers. The essence of flowers was everywhere on the planet, then he told her, “My friend, my Butterfly Girl, do you get it now? You didn’t loose your flowers, they are everywhere! You just put the seed everywhere! “ The little girl was smiling, so happy….
The Great Mother embraced her and told her, this is the time when you get your next set of gifts from me….
