"Once Upon A Time; An Obsidian's Journey"


A small black gemstone took center stage and beyond the veil through the looking glass

envisoned herself  as a fellow soilder of the "Sailor Scouts". Fighting for justice and 

love in the name of the moon for what was to be her true calling had yet to manifest her

destiny and touch the surface of her young concious state of mind. "I am a hero born to 

help humanity", she thought through the metaphysical with her God given special 

abilities, gifts and talents that were uniquely programmed and embedded in the circuitry 

of her D.N.A. In doing this love and justice can pacify the minds and hearts  of the

world. As a soilder her time is precious looking ahead to reflect back, she dreamed 

that her life would've been worth it. "Once Upon a Time".

 

Once there was a girl who's solace was place in the world of  "Toei" and "Gihbli" and

others of their kind. Through a metamorphosis of such parallels her ego took flight a

sight, that unfortunately wasn't witnessed. Nevertheless she was equipped as she

wielded her armor like that of her heroines, Princess Mononoke, took flight and 

beleived she could like KiKi, believed in friendship and the power of love like that 

of Sailor Moon. As well as the countless heroine there after . With each encounter her 

refuge was no more as she aspired to be who she believed she can be. "Once Upon a Time".

 

Fearfully and wonderfully made, a pattern of her own design a black gemstone rich 

in her resilience strives to surpass the mark. In respect she carries the lessons of

her former teachers as she continues to paint her story on her canvas, looking back

she has acquired and accepted her strengths, worth, self-love and imperfection for that 

doesn't mean or make one imperfect but a gemstone.  At this juncture she walks by 

faith and not by sight, knowing she's not all what she wants to be but has come along 

way from who she use to be. Her story is not set in stone but it is being written for I am who 

I am, I am a gemstone I am me. "Once Upon a Time".
