RAPUNZEL
The story of a young woman.
Young and beautiful.
Imprisoned in a tower with an old witch.
She was told by the old witch
that she was ugly - all the time.
One day Rapunzel
was gazing through the window
of the tower
and she saw her Prince Charming
at the base of the tower.
She lets down her long hair,
long and beautiful tresses.
It fell to the ground alongside the Prince
who braids it into a ladder and climbs up to rescue her.
She was imprisoned not by the tower
but by the fear of her own ugliness
which the witch had described so often.
Rapunzel sees the reflection of her face
in the mirroring eyes of her lover.
She sees that she is beautiful and
becomes free from her imagined uglyness.
She was not really imprisoned
but locked in the prison tower of herself.
She believed she was ugly
because she was told she was ugly.
We need to see in another’s eyes
our own beauty, special ness, uniqueness
and become free.
You are a beautiful human person
