The Wonderful W

In this short parable we meet the lovely princess Willa. Willa has everything, but instead of appreciating her bountiful riches, she only laments what's wrong, bad, and missing. One morning she wakes up and the letter "W" is missing. Once an undivided whole, the kingdom is now filled with holes. We see all the ways the Princess and villagers attempt to look for their "W" while doing everything possible to deny, avoid, work-around, and eventually adjust to life on the edge of holes. Eventually, the Princess can't take it anymore and is determined to get to the bottom of the hole business. She takes the leap into her innermost hole only to discover that she is the "W" she's been waiting for. And so is everybody else. She shares the good news and, eventually everybody takes the same leap. When tey do, the "W" returns to the kingdom, its wholeness and wisdom, warmth and wheels, wonder and awe, all restored, and all is well.
