Redsnow's bedtime story

  Two Souls...Once upon a time there were two souls. An older soul and a younger gentler soul. Both were on the path to enlightenment. They had met in one of their human forms as husband and wife when their souls had touched one another. They had become good friends.
The older wiser soul would always choose the stabler things to become, while the gentle soul liked to move around freely but always stayed close to the wiser soul.  In human form they were always near one another weather it be Mother & Daughter, Father and Son, Grandparent and Grandchild, or just best friends. Any of the combinations but always close to one another.
Once the wiser soul became a beautiful cherry blossom tree that grew for a very long time. So the gentler soul took many different forms to be near it. It became a caterpillar and made it's chrysalis in the tree, and when it became a beautiful butterfly it drank the sweet nectar from the cherry blossoms.
It became rain to water the tree. It became a beautiful wild flower next to the tree. It even became a human child to climb the tree and later in life love and care for the tree. 
When these forms ended the wiser soul and the gentler soul walked down the path to enlightenment together. The time came when the wiser soul knew it was near the end of it's path and had to tell the gentler soul it was leaving for heaven. They came to a crossroad and the wiser soul told the gentler soul.
The gentler soul replied,"No! who will guide me and walk with me on my path to enlightenment"?  So the wiser soul tore a piece of it's soul and gave it to the gentler soul and told the gentler soul to tear a piece of it's soul and give it back.  "Now I will take a little piece of you with me to heaven" said the wiser soul. "And now you must choose your own path to walk on". With that the wiser soul was gone. 
The gentler soul became very distraught and sad but it remembered it had a piece of the wiser soul with it. So it continued on the path to enlightenment becoming many different forms and choosing many different paths. When it would come to a crossroad and didn't know which path to choose the piece it had taken from the wiser soul would tug on it's soul and try to bring it closer to it in heaven.  And even though the gentler soul was sometimes sad and missed the wiser soul it knew one day they would be reunited in heaven and then be together forever.                                                The End.
