Just Like A Feather

What happens when we lose our seemingly magical abilities and must journey through the ordinary world to find extraordinary wisdom? This mesmerizing story follows a man who once walked on water but finds himself sinking to the depths where a sea spirit delivers his first lesson—that what he seeks lies within.

From that moment, everything changes. Unable to walk on water anymore, he must travel by land, encountering profound teachers in unexpected forms. A tree spirit speaks of love that honors one's true nature. A beautiful flower, picked thoughtlessly, teaches him about consequences and impermanence. The ocean waves whisper that crossing shores is impossible until he discovers what he seeks within himself.

The narrative reaches its emotional peak when the flower transforms into a woman who cycles through maiden, mother, and crone before his eyes. She offers herself as love transformed—but only if he can overcome his past and make a difficult choice. When he awakens back at his starting point, the sea spirit affirms his choice to return to his core self, gifting him with profound wisdom: "The power is not in taking what you want but in receiving."

Throughout this journey of transformation, we witness the universal struggle between desire and acceptance, between grasping and letting go. As listeners, we're invited to consider our own quests—what are we seeking outside ourselves that has always been within? And like the woman waiting across the lake, what opportunities for connection might we miss if fear holds us back or if we arrive too late?

Listen with an open heart and discover how this enchanting tale might illuminate your own path to finding what truly matters.
