the magic brush
Rapunzel, the beautiful long long haired girl, was sitting sadly all alone with her dragon and rabbit friends in the tall tower. The witch had crushed her paintings and paint brushes into pieces. Rapunzel went to sleep with a tear in her eye. She was awakened in the middle of the night though. She went to the only window of the tall tower and saw the twinkling stars smiling at her and the lovely moon gazing at her face turning her skin silver. She thought, "The moon is also alone like me, but not lonely. Maybe I'll ask the moon and stars to sleep with me tonight." Saying this to herself, she went to bed with a smile on her face.
When she awoke she saw a silver paint brush with bright stars on it. It looked so much more lovelier than the dry, withered, wood brush she had. Excited she dipped her new brush in the blue paint. She went to the wall and painted...and it looked like the sky.She dipped her brush again in green paint, and painted...this time it became the green leaves and trees.
The Dragon and the rabbit asked her, it looks so real, it has never looked so lovelier before. And she has hardly moved her brush and its there on the wall!!! Rapunzel said, "the paint brush seems to be reading her intentions". Whatever she seems to desire, manifests...effortlessly.
Rapunzel placed her hand on the wall and it almost went inside. Soon Rapunzel, her friends - the Dragon and the Rabbit realised that it was all real on the wall. The sky, the trees, the leaves, the waterfall and the kingdoms. Rapunzel had a magic brush!!! Whatever she holds in her mind as her desire, her intention....will become reality.
I see such a Rapunzel in myself. Breaking through from one dimension into another. Everytime I think of this fairy tale, I'm reminded of the Rapunzel in me breaking free of limiting beliefs, with my magic brush.
I have one too. It is silver in color too and has stars at the end. It resides in my heart. It paints my world with the colors of my heart. Sometimes I've lovely bright vibrant colors, sometimes shades of grey, sometimes pitch black and oh yes, sometimes I spill them all over and make a mess of it.
Rapunzel's magic paint brush was magical because she believed in the magic in her heart. I'm going to believe in the magic in my heart too. And I'll do this by reminding myself everyday that:
"I've magic too. And its not in the paint brush. Its here, in my heart".

I love this story, it's so perfectly you and it speaks to me so much as well!!! When I was in high school and my first boyfriend broke up with me and I was so devastated, one of my girlfriends gave me this toy magic wand - the end of it had a big pink star on it with little stars painted on the big stars, and when you turned the wand on, the star lit up inside. That wand meant so much to me and I still have it.
You ARE filled with magic, I see it in you and emanating out from you. You're so wonderful and beautiful, and I'm so blessed to have found you because you bring me such joy!!!
And I hope you feel the magic and feel joy and see beauty EVERYWHERE on this day - Happy Birthday, Sweet Anu!!!!! :)
