Rapunzel

There was a little girl called Rapunzel who was very beautiful. She was captured by a witch, who knew that if she wanted to hold on to the little girl, she had to convince her that she was ugly. If she knew she was beautiful, she would go off with one of the many young men who came to consult the witch. If on the other hand, she knew she was ugly, she would be afraid of being seen by them, and would therefore hide when they were around. So the witch gradually convinced Rapunzel that she was ugly and she hid for fear of being seen when anyone came to the witch's house.

One day when she was combing her hair in the room, she became conscious of someone looking at her through the window. Instinctively she looked up. It was then that she saw, in the eyes of the young man gazing at her through the window, that she was beautiful. Gradually, as she learned to believe this, her fear was replaced by joy. She set off on the long journey of freeing herself from the deadening influence of the witch in order to accept the life and happiness which the young man's love made available to her.

I just picked up an awesome book again after almost half a year of procastination in a bid to revive my half-dead spiritual self. Really don't know how I just overlooked such a gem for so long! After spending the past half an hour or so re-reading the first 37 pages, I'm already feeling the effects of allowing Him to inject a little bit more life and joy into the shadow of my fully-alive self.
