“The Owl That Said Who”

There was someone who was ALL alone and who didn’t know what to do.

It was a kind soul doing no else harm regardless of what it was going through.

Rather than bother others with problems and creating for them another emotional task.

The earthly soul sought out someone and someplace it could go to with it’s questions to ask.

Another reason the earthly soul was sad and it didn’t tell or ask so-called friends any more.

Is they were often a major part of the problems and had all betrayed it in the past before.

As the soul looked everywhere so as not to have the same problems and feeling foul.

It heard about an old haunted forest known to be home to a magical barn owl.

As soon as the soul heard about the place it began making a journey there.

It was not just looking for truly the best advice but also for someone it hoped would care.

The journey would not be short or easy and many suggested the soul shouldn’t even dare.

Yet the earthly soul said that was no issue like cost and it was willing to pay any fare!

The journey to the forest was long and hard and the soul even almost quit a few times along the way.

Yet the soul managed to find the energy and hope to go on and was encouraged by getting closer every day.

The soul also encountered other souls that were even worse than it’s so-called friends along the way.

They tried to hurt and stop the kind soul with the evil things they’d do and hurtful things they’d say.

It was a part of why it was so tired in route and the journey took so long with those metaphysical tolls to pay.

That was ALL part of the soul’s personal evolution on earth and and why the challenges occurred each day.

The soul reached the haunted forest and it was more terrifying than others had ever dared to say.

Still the soul found both the hope and courage to go in as it got darker arriving at the end of a day.

There were dead faces with sad expressions and bodies everywhere the soul would rest to sit.

They were the remains of other kind souls who’d killed their selves on the way to see the barn owl but instead had decided to quit.

Finally the soul reached the scariest place in the forest it was told that the barn owl would be.

There was a barn owl sitting in what was just the remains of what was once a magical pear tree.

With great fear and respect the soul called out to the barn owl it saw sitting in a hole in the dead tree’s trunk.

So desperate for for the answers that would change it’s life and alleviate it’s emotional funk.

Although at first looking very frightening and making the soul think it rather die too and rise.

When the owl finally looked at the soul after a few moments it saw kindness in the barn owl’s glowing red eyes.

The barn owl said: “I know you have a question. That is what they ALL come here to ask and do.”

The soul told the barn owl every problem and asked for advice and all the owl otherwise would say is “whooooo”.

The kind soul wept after hearing that and asked why the barn owl kept answering every question with a question after ALL it had been through.

The magical barn owl then spoke it’s final sentence to the soul and said that’s because by “whooooo” I mean YOU.

Then the soul quickly was transported to a magical place in the blink of an eye the next day.

The soul had learned that loving and trusting itself was the first step for it’s life journey along the way.
