Invisibility Coat

The Invisibility Coat. - a short story over a long long time by Zahara Celestial

Once Upon a time. We chose a coat for protection it was long thick dark and had a hood. As time passed the coat became invisible which at first we thought was really handy. We could disappear into the coat. We could hide. More time passed the coat soaked up more dirt whatever was thrown. So the coat became heavier and heavier and we forgot we were wearing the coat for the coat became us. 

Then one day we found ourselves standing in sunlight. We looked at our feet and we longed to feel the earth between our toes. We remembered a time when we were lighter skipping running laughing at home. Then we noticed the coat and we wondered maybe it was safe to let the coat go. But would we need the coat. What about all the memories stories we carried in the pockets. Who would we be. 

However, slowly we noticed all the animals did not have shoes! So we began to walk bare feet. And as we did so our senses came alive. We felt held by Mother Earth. And as the rain came we did not feel the need to hide. We felt the plants the trees rejoice. We smelt the Earth. We held our heads up to the sky as the rain fell and the sun shone a beautiful rainbow birthed in the sky reaching our hearts. And the birds sang.

We asked for help and hundreds hundreds of humming birds lifted the coat up enough so we unbuttoned the front. Button by Button fell to the ground as bones that turned to ash on the Earth. We lifted up our arms and the humming birds took piece by piece and each dissolved in the air. 

We then took our first New Born steps bare feet lighter. Feeling the air touch our skin our hair. Feeling the rain. Feeling the Sun. We were are alive and clear. Crystal Clear. Beautiful and In~LOVE.

Blessed Be.
