It is time to tell yet another story.

A story that took place centuries ago within a

forest under a particular tree; The Tree of Tranquility.

It all started when a boy ran away from

home and found shelter under this short

wide tree.

Six weeks and three days he spent sleeping

at that place. Though when he woke up, he

wanted to return to his dream.

A quiet and peaceful space within his head

surrounded by nothing but light. He simply

sat and stared, though he was not bored.

The feeling he felt was what kept him happy and

did not want to lose it.

Though the time was up and slowly

returned back home to make peace with

everyone, and remove anger from within his

soul to keep the feeling of the dream within him.

As he changed, everyone around him started to change,

becoming like him and feeling the same feeling.

From that day on he kept returning to that tree

with others by his side, and they all saw and felt the same.

Everyone who went there took someone

else to experience the dream.

Though a time came when the tree was forgotten,

yet the story lives on.

One story that I forgot about…

Sailing away from shore Tom waved to his family on land, which soon became a dot in the distance. Hours, days, and weeks passed by, Tom was completely relaxed and the fresh air was incredible. This is what he had planned for the journey at sea; to get as far from Life as possible and to realize his dream.

Yet one day this peace was interrupted by fear. He had read many books about sailing for days and one common phrase was an ancient superstition,

“If a floating bottle is seen, expect the worst if not death”

As he was thoughtfully staring at the horizon he saw, from the edge of his eye, something in the sea which was not there before. He looked at it and realized it was a wine bottle; fear filled him even though he was not superstitious. Scared as he was, he picked up the bottle and realized that something was trapped inside.

Now curiosity replaced the fear. He could not remove the cork so he broke the bottle on the outside of the boat so as the glass would fall back into the sea. He grabbed the paper before it touched the water and, as he sat down comfortably, he started reading the note.

Dear anyone,

This is an important note that will hopefully bring peace to my family, if I die at sea.

Please go to the address below and tell my family that in my favourite room, inside one of the legs of my favourite chair my Will can be found.

Hopefully everything will be peaceful again, for I have decided to divide my valuables with my family.

Please who ever You are, if You are reading this then my family is not at peace until my Will is found.

Thanks,

George Holton

The name was followed by the address of his family. Tom’s thoughts kept rolling, scrambling and thinking about this letter, did it bring a curse with it or was this simply the reason why he had to be at that place at that time?

Tom got out his map and compass and started the engine once again after weeks, and decided to head back home, to fulfill another man’s dream since he did not have one of his own, he thought.
