Justice.

Justice…

JUSTICE!

“Sorry, I had another one of those dreams.” said Justice.

Her life wasn’t the same when she found out she had a miscarriage after breaking up from her toxic boyfriend of 3-4 years. She felt so lost and clueless she didn’t know what to do. Until one day she decided to go see a therapist.

“Justice how are you feeling?” asked Dr. Pea’R.

“I feel overwhelmed and exhausted from life. I keep having these weird dreams. I barely get enough sleep. I’m such a mess right now.” sighed Justice.

It appears that Dr. Pea’R had thought of a family ritual healing tool and decided to share that with Justice to help reidentify to her authentic self.

As Dr. Pea’R dusted the book that was going to allow Justice to seek the oneness she desires, Justice looked confused.

“What is a book going to do for me?” asked Justice.

“Listen. Trust me on this. You’ve only had one session with me, but I see we’re your headed and this book is going to redirect you in the place you’re meant to go. It got me to where I am today and I’m reaching my expiration date,” said Dr. Pea’R.

“What do you mean?” asked Justice.

“Take the book. Thank me later.”

Justice took the book and by the time she got home the book was catching dust. In other words, she felt like a book wasn’t going to help her, so she tossed it where she tossed all the other things people try to give her to help, in a box.

The next morning, Justice woke up with a massive hangover from drinking her problems away the night before. She overslept and was an hour late for work.

“UGH!”

Then sudden a strange knock was at the door and Justice goes to answer it.

Nobody was there. Nothing but acres of land surrounding her and a note that said, “It’s time!”

“It’s time,” Justice repeated.

Time for what she thought. She closes the door, thinking she’s having another dream and goes to open the door again.

She sees the same thing again.

She screams as loud as she ever could and fainted.

“Where am I,” Justice asked.

The words from the wind whispered to her and said,

“You see that shovel over there, I want you to take it and start digging the driest part of this land.”

Justice was confused yet again and had no choice but to follow orders at this point. Justice started digging for hours, that led into days and weeks, until finally she stumbled across her old box, she would toss helpful tools in that she found useless.

She noticed a book that her therapist, Dr. Pea’R had given her the last time she had a session with her. She opened the book and took into consideration to finally seek oneness. As she rambled through the box, she also noticed a bag with seeds in it and placed them in the hole she had been digging in and covered it back up.

She had an entire year to seek the change that she desired and see that the grass is greener on the other side when she holds herself accountable, forgive herself and others who may have caused stress in her life, and conquer the necessary steps to see brighter days.

The first week, she had to face darkness, dawn, and light by making a connection with herself that will later connect her to the seeds she planted. As the weeks went on, she renewed herself by finding her inner soulmate within herself to be able to create standards along her journey.

By the fifth week into this healing process she was undergoing, she started getting lost in her dreams and in the mornings, she started feeling nausea at times. She sensed a transformation happening and couldn’t make sense of what was going on at the time.

Insecurities started arising again and Justice was really started to not trust the changes she was encountering due to tool being passed down to her by her therapist a while back.

“I’m not myself. I’m surrounded by my past all over again,” cried Justice.

By week 7, Justice had rediscovered herself and accepted her past life for what it was and was no longer overwhelmed by other people’s burdens and felt a relief.

She noticed roots growing from where she planted the seeds and thought to herself what type of plant it will grow into, but she couldn’t tell exactly.

Sound of thunder.

“Oh no, it’s storming really bad, and I have no shelter to take cover,” cried Justice.

From the whispers of the wind, “I will protect you under one command. That command is to fully accept who you are. Forgive yourself of your past. Be present in the now.”

Justice thought to herself and agreed to the whisper of the wind to accept herself for who she is and not what the world saw her as.

The next morning when Justice woke up, she noticed her surrounding looked different than before. The sun was shining so perfect, giving off the perfect sunlight on Justice’s skin. She noticed a ladybug had landed on her non-dominant hand and thought of it as good luck.

Out of nowhere, Justice smelled food but didn’t see who was cooking it. All she saw was the smoke and was directed to a plate where she discovered scrambled eggs and toast.

She ate it and continued on with her morning.

She walked over to the area where she had planted the seeds and noticed more growth from the roots.

Suddenly, Justice faints.

As she fainted, she fell into a deep dream, it almost felt like a coma. Justice had been out for the count for about 7 weeks. Within those 7 weeks, Justice had experienced the opportunity of being of service for someone else, understanding her self-worth, discovering her passion in the world, guilt, impasse, perseverance, and completion.

At sunset, Justice woke up from her 7 week coma and felt so energized.

She looked up and noticed the seeds turned into a giant tree with only branches.

A miracle was on the rise during the sixteenth week of Justice’s healing process.

She discovered a note that stated, “In the weeks to come you will be seeing the color yellow.”

“Yellow,” Justice said in confusion.

Then a whisper of the wind said to Justice,

“You are currently being enlightened, so I ask that you seek peace and embrace your fears. Yellow, represents joy.”

By week 19, Justice had created a prayer and from that day forward she would read that prayer every day next to the tree with branches.

Each time Justice said her prayer, the tree would grow leaves.

Going on 3 weeks, Justice started to see the abundance work in her favor. The tree started developing more leaves as tiny sprouts form on the branches.

“Wow!”

“This tree is so beautiful, and it has even officially started sprouting completely,” said Justice.

She was at awe with how far she’s come along her journey to see the seeds she planted grow into a strong sturdy tree. Yet she’s clueless as to what the tree will produce.

The leaves on the branches were a beautiful green color.

“You are so beautiful and full of color,” Justice said to the tree.

She’s at the halfway mark of her journey, week 25 and she then decides to embrace her surroundings more.

One morning, Justice woke up under the tree and was surrounded by grass, birds chirping, as the sunrise greets her.

She spoke kindly and softly to the tree.

“Good morning!”

“You’re so strong and beautiful.”

“I feel safe here.”

“I wonder what you’re going to produce in the end.”

Suddenly, a strong wind hit, and Justice could barely keep her balance.

“Justice,” said the wind.

“I see that your seeds have sprouted into such a beautiful tree.”

“For the remaining of your healing, for three times a day, morning, noon, and night, you are to talk to this tree to continue nurturing it’s growth.”

“I will be back next week with further instructions,” said the wind.

Justice was already feeling her transformation working out for her. She immediately went to the tree and granted it with her prayer she had memorized seven weeks ago.

A week pass by, and the wind arrives.

“Justice,” whispered the wind.

“You see that precious Emerald stone at your feet, take it,” said the wind.

“What do I do with it,” asked Justice.

“I want you to put it in your pocket and keep it there until the end of your journey,” said the wind.

Justice did just that.

She started smiling from ear to ear.

Moments later, Justice had found herself under the tree talking and sharing her stories.

Hours into the meditation session, Justice noticed a cloud that made her think of her therapist Dr. Pea’R.

“Dr. Pea’R I see why you were so eager to help me. I’m starting to understand why you gave me your family healing tool book. Continue to shine your light on me, as I blossom into something beautiful, like you said I would. And so, it is,” said Justice.

As the day went on, it started getting dark out. Justice needed to do her nightly meditation before going to sleep. She spent time meditating and ended with her memorized prayer and fell fast asleep.

Justice was living in her dream but didn’t realize it until thirty-two weeks into her healing journey.

She had experienced a lot since she last fell asleep. She understood the grief she felt from her past. She even got tricked by a snake that caused her to misplace the Emerald stone. She eventually gained wisdom and found the Emerald stone during the thirtieth week.

It was a bittersweet moment for Justice. She realized why she was in isolation at the thirty-second week. Her previous life she felt lonely, like nobody was there for her like she was for them. She would do for others and isolate herself a lot. Since starting her transformation, she’s been embracing the moments spent in nature.

The tree had grown so much, by the week thirty-five, the tree producing pears.

“Gasp!”

“Pears. It’s a pear tree,” said Justice so excitedly.

The suddenly the wind whispers to Justice.

“Justice, my friend. You see what you planted, a pear tree. You may eat from this tree only when the pears are ripe and ready,” said the wind.

“Ok, but what if I get really hungry, can I eat one then,” asked Justice.

“No, you must do as I say or you will be here forever, alone,” said the wind.

Justice took the orders and did as she was told.

However, she was so hungry one day, she was tempted to pick a pear from the tree.

“I’m so hungry. Maybe I should eat a pear,” she thought.

Then she realized that she couldn’t eat the pear because they were still growing.

A week or two goes by and Justice is dying of hunger and starts to become impatient with the pears being ripe and ready.

Because Justice was being tested at this time, the wind shows up in her favor.

“Oh, Justice,” said the wind.

“Yes”

“I have a quest for you to go on and it’s going to take you 7 weeks to complete,” said the wind.

“Seven weeks, what kind of quest am I going on for seven weeks,” cried Justice.

“It’ll be worth it in the end, trust me like you trusted Dr. Pea’R,” said the wind.

Justice gathered herself and headed on her quest.

After the 7 weeks, another 4 weeks had passed by, and Justice started seeing the life she always wanted manifest by week forty-nine. She had reached her destiny. Things started to look normal again but better.

Justice had gotten pregnant by a warrior named Leo and was blessed with a daughter named Harmoni.

Justice and her family were at a gathering, and she noticed a pear tree in her back yard. This was the same pear tree that she planted at the beginning of her healing journey. She was living on the land that she was left on to figure out her path and all that she had, she built that foundation on acres of land.

“Wow!”

“All my hard work has finally paid off. I feel better, much better. My mindset is different I feel at peace with myself and the people that surround me. I recreated my life,” said Justice.

The pear tree lived in Justice’s backyard, long enough to see her kids grow up and have children, until she died of old age in her sleep while watching the sunset underneath the pear tree that grew in her backyard.

Justice’s daughter Harmoni decided to keep her mother’s legacy alive and started to look after the pear tree the same way her mother did and created a business selling fresh organic produce to the local markets in the community in which she lived in.
