Princess And The Sage ( Part 1 )

Long time ago there was a beautiful princess, she was so beautiful that even the mirror would get stunned every time she was in front of the mirror. She was not only beautiful, she was extremely intelligent and exceptional archeress too. She was the only heiress to the throne. Her days used to be packed with all kinds of activities, travelling from one end of the kingdom to another getting familiar with all the aspects of the kingdom. So that when she becomes the queen, her queendom can flourish under her rule. King and the queen wanted the princess to expand the boundaries of their kingdom far beyond the existing territory of the kingdom, it was their desire.

One day her caravan was passing thru the remote part of the kingdom, she saw a well-built sage meditating under the open sky by a gentle waterfall. Princess was so impressed by the aura around this sage that she halted her caravan, stepped down from her horse and approached the sage, after introducing herself she invited the sage to the palace. The sage thanked her for the invitation and said, now is not the right time to come to your palace, if ever the time is right I will be at the doorsteps of your palace. As the princess was about to leave heavy heartedly, the sage added, “You are a priceless princess and you will be an amazing queen to rule this vast land, I am afraid in the dense fog of glory and glitter you may gallop too far away from yourself,  so try not to lose yourself.”

Time went by, the princess became the queen and got busy with her queendom. Days changed into weeks, weeks changed into months, months changed into years, that sage constantly stayed in her thoughts. She had expanded her queendom quite a bit. One autumn after a hard-fought victory, she got sick, she lost lot of weight, all kind of medicines were given but her health kept on getting worse and worse, the doctors announced that she may not be with them for very many days.

Next evening as the sun was setting the gatekeeper brought the message that the sage is at the palace gates to see the queen. With the permission of the queen sage was escorted in. As the queen saw the sage, tears rolled down her sunken cheeks and she said, “Now you come, when there is nothing left.” Sage answered, “We will talk about that later.” Sage knew that queen have several gardens, he asked her which garden was her favorite and her favorite spot in that garden. By now the moon and the stars were out on the sky floor performing there magical dances. Sage with the permission of the queen gently picked her up in his arms and walked to her favorite spot in her favorite garden and sat under her favorite tree with the queen resting in his arms with her eyes closed. It was late autumn and all the leaves had danced down from the branches. With the presence of the queen and the sage this tree started to sprout, as this tree was sprouting so was the health and wellness of the queen.

With the dawn of the day as the sunlight kissed the feet of the queen, she gently opened her eyes and was amazed to see herself and sage under the bloomed colorful canopy of her favorite tree, as rest of the garden was in autumn colors.

As the sage carried the queen back to her room, the message of joy and happiness of queen’s wellness spread throughout the palace.
