Unfolded & Retold With Love<\/b><\/h2>\n

by Ivan Szendro<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

\"big-bee-goddess_bm_gr18604-1234\"Yes, you were born to be happy and blessed,<\/span><\/p>\n

Melissa (Bee)!<\/span><\/p>\n

Were you not the child <\/span><\/p>\n

who yearned to be the playmate of other \u2018normal\u2019 kids, <\/span><\/p>\n

the little girl who needed extra effort for each \u2018normal\u2019 step?<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Were you not the little bee <\/span><\/p>\n

who wanted to gather honey like the big ones, <\/span><\/p>\n

the fragile one, in soul and body, <\/span><\/p>\n

wishing to be an active part of the beehive?<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

With her handicap she was challenged <\/span><\/p>\n

to go much further than any of us. <\/span><\/p>\n

Her lot was to be reborn as a dreamer poet, <\/span><\/p>\n

as a visionary seer, a shaman, <\/span><\/p>\n

to correspond to us of the Other Side.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

She was the tricky Primordial, <\/span><\/p>\n

after each dreamy time-space-venture when she saw the unseen. <\/span><\/p>\n

now she can do what we, \u2018normal\u2019 ones can\u2019t.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

She can give rebirth to herself, <\/span><\/p>\n

she is nourishing herself in her own womb, <\/span><\/p>\n

full with honey.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

She baptizes herself with honey, <\/span><\/p>\n

she can meet any time her Angelic Helper <\/span><\/p>\n

who calls her into the heights:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cCome with me, Melissa,<\/span><\/p>\n

up to Trees, Mountains, and the Skies!\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Then\u00a0halfway up<\/span><\/p>\n

He offers her the biggest gift that a human-angel can give: <\/span><\/p>\n

His life, through a long drawn-out suffering.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Just for you, Melissa, <\/span><\/p>\n

that you become a victorious self-healer, <\/span><\/p>\n

a self-rebirther, and a legend carrier,<\/span><\/p>\n

to tell us about your glorious life <\/span><\/p>\n

that is worth it to cry for, ask for, <\/span><\/p>\n

and receive.<\/span><\/p>\n
