The Dragonfly
the Misty Morning just before the Crack of Dawn, you may be fortunate enough to encounter a Small and Exquisite Being. She'll be jumping about collecting Wishes from everybody while they sleep.
A busy little bee she is as she has only a Few Moments in the Darkest of the Night to get her business done.
This, however, does not make her hurry up or rush the process of her work. She is very attentive that all Wishes are delicately collected and carefully put in The Bag of Wonder And Wishes, all equally treated with Grace and Respect. The Delicacy of her moving about and the Caring Dedication makes her glow in a very special way, making it easy to be enchanted by her.
At the first Crack of Dawn, she'll suddenly disappear! And you will be biting your tongue to ensure that what you just witnessed wasn't only a dream! But if you were close enough, when she was still around, you would then notice the sweet scent that she had left behind. And notice that this Wonderful Experience had changed you forever.
"But where did she go?" You would most curiously ask.
"Oh, my friend, that might be slightly beyond your comprehension." I would teasingly reply! … Not to worry though, there's more to come and I will fill you in on the details.

Maybe you have already guessed it: The Delightful Creature was not of This World.
She was in fact an inhabitant of The Golden Dimension - situated in the most Exquisite Realm of Cosmos, The Inbetween Space!
As Head of The Golden Dimension was appointed the Queen of Good Fortune. She reigned with Care and Wisdom and throughout the Dimension there was a sensation of Abundance and Clarity. It was indeed a very good place to live.
Our Small Friend was a Dragon Fly. Soft and Subtle as the Fabric of Dreams and yet Wise and Powerful as her fellow kind, the Dragons. She'd been granted Her Mission by the Queen a long time ago. And as you yourself witnessed, she enjoyed her work and performed it to perfection.
This Task had always consisted of two Precious Aspects: One was to infuse the Good and Abundant Vibes from the Golden Dimension into the whole of Cosmos, sharing the feeling of Wealth and Abundance with Every Living Creature everywhere. The second Precious Aspect was to nurture Connectedness, so that no matter what happened in the Vast Cosmos, all living Beings would remember their Intervowen Destinies.
The Queen of Good Fortune was very aware of how the The Golden Vibes of her Dimension had an immense impact on the whole of The Cosmos, and she was only happy to be able to grant people Their Wishes.
But ... even if it all looked ever so well, The Queen was kind of troubled. You see, lately she had discovered a change in the essence of the wishes: Usually, The Wishes were about Good Health for the whole of the Family, Fun and Laughter throughout the Day, Much Moonlight on Evening Strolls, Fewer Peas at the dinner table, A True Love's Kiss - you know, deep and heartfelt Wishes.
But in a specific section of Cosmos, the Wishes were changing…. an increasing number came with requests for Money and Gold alone! All these requests came from Planet Earth in the Physical Dimension. The Queen was puzzled.
”What is it with these People?” She asked herself.
Deprived of soul the wishes were! Without the Warmth of the Heart. Filled with The Miser's Energy of "Wanting for myself to built a fortress".
Having herself always been surrounded abundantly with Gold, she wouldn't know how it felt not to be surrounded like this. She couldn't recognize the restrained feeling that followed the Wishes From Earth. But she knew for sure that it wasn't the surroundings of gold that made Her Life fulfilled and made her Happy to get up in the morning!
To solve the Matter, she summoned the Council of Delicate Decisiontaking In The Great Evolution Of The Cosmos.
*
The Council arrived and made themselves comfortable in one of the Magnificent Rooms of the Golden Palace. Days went by. Weeks. Interfering with The Course Of Time was not something to take lightly, apparently!
Finally, the Council reappeared in the Courtyard.
"Was it difficult? It took you so long!" The Queen curiously asked, a bit concerned - you may add.
"Well," said the Leader of the Pack, "we have not been together for Aeons! You see, we had so many things to share, now having the opportunity to do it face to face. It took a full Two Months to cover everybody's doings since our last encounter!"
The queen sighed.
"The Solution is easy though!" The Headmaster went on.
"We are to send a Representative to Planet Earth to correct the Course of Their Journey. Earthlings shall again have True Abundance running in Their Veins. They shall once again drink it, breathe it, dream it and express it in all its forms. That is their Divine Heritage, and they seem to have forgotten!
Only one question remains: Who is qualified for such a Task? Who has the Courage to set aside herself for the Purpose of Mankind's Wellbeing? Who is Delicate enough to intervene without wanting anything in return? Who is strong enough to believe herself abundantly supported, even when the Dominating Reality shows differently?"
The Headmaster paused and looked around.
The Queen of Good Fortune smiled.
"Oh, I know somebody perfect for the Job!" She said with Delight … and then she summoned Our Small Friend, The Dragon Fly.
"I have to find a new Wish Collector for the Cosmos, since I will now grant you the Fine Job of going to the Planet Earth to live for a while. For your Divine Stay, I shall give you this. It's a jar with Letters of Luck:
"A" - is for Ambassador! Your Being on Earth will infuse a major shift in the existing Abundance Structures. You shall be the Ambassador of this Shift.
"A" - the second "a" is for Acknowledging the Great work that you'll be doing even if it seems as if you're not working at all. Living on Earth is different from visiting. The Earthlings may not recognize your Divine Intentions.
"N" - is for Nurturing yourself every day to ensure that you stay in tune with the Essence of Your Work and of Your Being. These two Aspects shall be cherished as The Great Balance.
"T" - is for Trusting your origin. Always remember that you are a child of Divinity Itself. Even if Earthly Challenges will pull you away from your Origin, remember it still deep within.
"Y" - is for Yes! A Great Big Yes! to Pioneering and Perception Shifting.
You may put them together and use them as you see fit. I bid you Farewell and we shall keep in contact, for sure!"
The Queen stepped back and let The Council of Delicate Decisiontaking In The Great Evolution Of The Cosmos send off the Dragon Fly with a few final words:
"The Earthlings will find it difficult to communicate with you since you vanish at the First Sign of Morning. This is yet a too confusing feature. Also, they cannot understand your Strength and Wisdom. They are not used to Great Powers shown in Subtle Beings! We once heard an Ancient Tale of human origin with an emperor of a Land called China who imprisoned a Nightingale because he found its singing ever so lovely. But the Nightingale could not live in a Cage and could not withdraw from its Divine Purpose of Joyful singing for All. The Nightingale then had to demand his freedom. Apparently Life on Earth can feel imprisoning for some."

The words of the Council resonated in her head as she recalled the Scene of Departure. Flying in between Dimensions was easy for her, so she was already on Planet Earth. Exited about finding out what should happen next.
Suddenly she felt an urge to stop. Something delightful had caught her Attention!
"This is it!" She whispered to herself. "This is it! I can feel it!"
She looked around to find out more about where she was. Oh, she was close to a small house.
The very next instant, an intense Crying Out disturbed the Silence of the Night.
"What was that?" She asked herself, slightly shaken.
The powerful scream came from that very house! She went over to the small cottage and peaked through a window. Wow! Lying inside was a Wonderful Woman surrounded by Helpers. She was in the process of giving Birth to a new Earthling.
"Oh!" The Dragon Fly had the most clarifying insight!
"I shall become this Earthling!"
Her heart filled with Joy, she entered the Cosy Cottage. This was very exciting! Very exciting indeed! Not like anything she'd ever experienced before! She set aside the Jar on a table in a corner of the room. Then she centered herself and prepared for A Grand Shift.
Another intense cry filled the air. But this time it was the Divine Sound of A Newborn. A draft went through the room as the Dragon Fly submitted herself to The Newborn. And then came A Moment of Silence.
The draft had wiped the small Jar off the table. The Gifted Letters of Luck had fallen down on the floor and now revealed the Divine Name of this Fine Mission:
* T * A * N * Y * A *
The Tale Holder: Tanya Sheikh
This was my first real request for a Tale... And somehow, it also got longer than the others. At one point I was writing at this an two others at the same time, and I'm just amazed how much individuality these Tales have. This one is so cute!
