An enchanted fountain on Christmas
* * * The enchanted fountain * * *
The 12 of December had come, nevertheless I felt this magic
season arriving much time before. On that year, the special time of the
year that should be of joy, was of sorrow, because all of us were very
worried about the health of the little Leonor, the daughter of my eldest
sister. Leonor was just 4 years old. For the last two weeks my little
strawberry, as I used to call her, was not coming out of her bed. On a big
city, in a case of emergency, the medical support would be more quick
than on a small village. Due to this we were always much more
preoccupied.
At the end of the day, already full night, when I was feeling
lonelier and apprehensive, I would pick up the motorbike and went
through mountains and valleys illuminated by the moonlight until I
arrived at Monte'Alto
a. The frozen wind of the journey and the ice, that I
knew, I would tread when I arrived, were not enough to stop me, because
at the top of the mountain the landscape was superb, that open space
lighted by the moon, the stars on the sky and a few lights on earth. Of
course that I could not arrive so high just to see the landscape, I usually
gave a coin to the Saint and seat near the enchanted fountain, where it
was said to appear a Princess. I was thinking about someone, my Princess
that had a name and was very far away studying at the big city, for almost
two years since I last saw her. Her mother had given me her contact two
days ago and told me that she was sick, but her studies were going well.
Due to all this, one of the persons for whom I was praying was her.
But what did she had of so special for me to give her the most
important title of the Kingdom of my heart?
