Rapunzel Opens The Window, The Old Witch Enters The Scene

Rapunzel had a dream. As long as her hair was growing. She lived in a castle, as we all know. It was told by our parents and grandparents and we liked the fairytale so much. That is why little girls still love long hair and feel just like a princess with their long hair blowing in the wind. When they grow into adults, they will think of the fairytale and present themselves as beautiful as Rapunzel to attract their beloved prince. 

The window was opened and the sun was shining into the room where Rapunzel was staying. It was a cool place and a better location than being outside, where it was too hot for the moment. Her prince was sleeping. He worked hard and needed a break. The story had to adapt to the main actors. Rapunzel was awake and cared a lot about her dream. She wished that her dream would come true so very soon.

In the circle of witches, the oldest member listened how Rapunzel called the circle of true power and magic. She felt how Rapunzel pulled her nearer. The old witch agreed to be of support. "Let your long hair play in the wind and make sure I can climb your hair", she whispered. Rapunzel obeyed the witch and pushed all her hair outside the window. The prince smiled in his sleep. He was somehow aware that his princess was planning a breakthrough. 

She always managed to get what she wanted. As any bold woman, she knew exactly what she wished for and she took appropriate action. Without action, nothing would move in her world. That was true. The old witch climbed higher and higher and had to stop now and then. Even old witches have had their best times. They need to respect their own rhythm. But where there is a will, there is way and finally the old lady arrived at her destination.

If you wonder if Rapunzel felt the climb, the honest answer is yes. The witch pulled and the pain was clair. But Rapunzel was not someone who would easily complain and learned that some sacrifices need to be accepted to get to a particular goal. The wind moved the trees and the highest tree witnessed how the old witch entered Rapunzel's room. The ice coffee was ready. The ice cubes were delicious. The witch appreciated that little gesture. 

The witch listened to Rapunzel's heart desire. The prince was nearby and was dreaming about a positive outcome already. He loved her so much and was happy when she was happy. The simple life does exist. The witch used her magic and suddenly a map came into the room. Not sure how it got there. Fact is, it was there. The map contained the secrets to Rapunzel's success story.

The witch gave Rapunzel the secret potion to read the whole map in some seconds. Time was important. In reality as in fairytales. A magic team of top experts was composed and that network loved Rapunzel's heart. They all accepted to help her as only the best teams do. The witch also showed the book of future happenings. Seeing the dream as already achieved, was one of the best kept secrets of the universal truths. 

Rapunzel did not shout out her dream to the big world, but kept it close to her heart. The ones that can read hearts, do not force the content to be revealed. They only take notice of what is being shared in between the lines. As soon as the witch did what she was asked to do, she transformed into a huge mirror. The mirror showed daily exactly what Rapunzel had to do, to move forward towards her dream. The prince loved her drive and perseverance and kissed her every night. 

His love and her self-confidence gave her wings. A little bit further, all witches were celebrating already. They got informed that the dream of Rapunzel was ready to be manifested. The long hair of Rapunzel still inspires all little princesses around the world. They can use their own unique strengths to turn their life into a dream. The witches of the forest just wait for their names to be called. It takes only a few seconds to do that. The prince saw how his princess turned into his queen.
