Mazi & The Queen Of Wands ( A fable to share with Children that still needs an illustrator)
A very long time ago, far, far away, nestled between the stars was a Land called Peace. Everything was beautiful there. The grass and trees were green and all kinds of birds flew in the sky. Cardinals, doves, eagles, hummingbirds, mina birds, parrots and lot’s of other birds. And the Land was rich with cl...ean water to drink, and all kinds of fruits and vegetables for people to eat.
There was a little boy who liked to call himself Mazi. He was one of many, many sons of a great emperor. As Mazi grew, so special was his ability to help his mother and father, all his brothers, sisters and other people agree to work together that he achieved great fortune. He was flexible like a monkey and began to think like a crocodile.
When he grew up, he became the Emperor. People called him Emperor Mazi. For many years it seemed like every project he touched turned to gold, just like King Midas. Success was his.
But as the years passed Emperor Mazi began to forget who he was. He forgot the Love in his heart.So even with all his money and things he wasn't happy.
One day while vacationing by the ocean,he met a young woman named Imani. She made him laugh and laugh and he began to be happy. Because Imani helped him feel the Love in his heart.
So then, Mazi the Emperor thought “maybe I could buy her!” But she wasn’t for sale. And the next day when he went to see her, Imani had gone.
And Mazi was very sad because though he didn’t know it, he had lost the Love in his heart.
Imani went on a long journey, first to college and then traveling from Star to Star, learning about the languages and cultures of many different people.
She spent years discovering who she was. For a time she wanted wealth, and to be considered as especially important to other people. But then she became very sick and when she had recovered, Imani remembered that she must live only with Love in her heart.
After Imani was better, she did many things. She began writing, singing and telling stories to children. She accomplished so much and wherever she went, Imani helped people open their hearts.
Imani never forgot Mazi and always told children the story of a great emperor who had tried to buy a young woman and called himself Mazi.
Now Imani told the children that on other stars, the name Mazi meant mister. So all the children laughed and laughed at the Emperor who called himself Mister.
Because they knew that people could not be bought. And that Love was something special to share.
Every time Imani told that story, far away the Emperor felt Love in his heart. And whenever he thought of Imani, he was sad because he thought he had lost his soulmate.
When he slept, Mazi began to have the same dream over and over. In the dream a voice told him to find Imani so that she could help him to build a rainbow bridge across the galaxy.
It was a New Time, and important for All People to become One Heart. But the Emperor didn’t listen.
Time passed by… Moon, after moon, after moon. And Mazi still didn’t have the courage to listen to his heart.
Now many people in the Land of Peace knew that the emperor was very sad. They decided to have a Birthday Festival by the ocean and invited artists, performers and numerous other people from different stars.
While Mazi was sleeping on the night before the festival, he had that same dream about Imani and the Rainbow Bridge.
And when he awoke he remembered that it was his birthday and that he had to be happy because if he wasn’t, all the people in the Land of Peace would be sad.
So that day he dressed very simply. He made a birthday promise to himself. And then Mazi went to his Birthday Festival.
There was a big art exhibition with beautiful pictures, sculpture, quilts and many other exquisite crafts.
The festival was busy with people eating, laughing, singing and dancing.
For hours Mazi smiled, ate, sang and danced--hugging everyone he saw. He thanked all the people for making his birthday special.
Finally he just wanted to sit by the water. As he walked towards the ocean, in the distance he heard a voice that sounded a little familiar and lots of children laughing.
Mazi felt his heart beating boom, boom, boom, boom boom, boom, boom, boom, boom boom!
He kept walking towards the laughter. And his heart started opening. Then the most magical thing happened…
Even though it was sunny, water came from the sky. Imani looked up from the children into the eyes of Mazi.
Suddenly time stopped and when it started again, all the people in the Land of Peace and all the people across the Galaxy, felt Mazi’s Love for Imani, the Queen Of Wands.
And Guess What…
A Giant Rainbow Bridge Appeared In The Sky.
