The Legend of Melissa Pinol
Unfolded & Retold With Love
by Ivan Szendro
Yes, you were born to be happy and blessed,
Melissa (Bee)!
Were you not the child
who yearned to be the playmate of other ‘normal’ kids,
the little girl who needed extra effort for each ‘normal’ step?
Were you not the little bee
who wanted to gather honey like the big ones,
the fragile one, in soul and body,
wishing to be an active part of the beehive?
With her handicap she was challenged
to go much further than any of us.
Her lot was to be reborn as a dreamer poet,
as a visionary seer, a shaman,
to correspond to us of the Other Side.
She was the tricky Primordial,
after each dreamy time-space-venture when she saw the unseen.
now she can do what we, ‘normal’ ones can’t.
She can give rebirth to herself,
she is nourishing herself in her own womb,
full with honey.
She baptizes herself with honey,
she can meet any time her Angelic Helper
who calls her into the heights:
“Come with me, Melissa,
up to Trees, Mountains, and the Skies!”
Then halfway up
He offers her the biggest gift that a human-angel can give:
His life, through a long drawn-out suffering.
Just for you, Melissa,
that you become a victorious self-healer,
a self-rebirther, and a legend carrier,
to tell us about your glorious life
that is worth it to cry for, ask for,
and receive.

Congratulations Ivan!

Thank you Gabri’El, and here let’s our Friends know that soon we will publish together a book of your legend, the “Alice in the Upper-Land” , since Alice was your name before you started, much before you met me, your legendary life. We were blessed to meet each other, unfold together your shamanic legend and find a wonderful Hungarian illustrator, Miklós, who made 8 terrific pictures for our book. – Friends you make reservations for the upcoming book.
