“Believe something and the Universe is on its way to being changed. Because you've changed, by believing. Once you've changed, other things start to follow. Isn't that the way it works?” ― Diane Duane, So You Want to Be a Wizard

Time out for a Fairy Tale - The Gnomist

Imagine. Smile. Dream light.

Dark trails illumined, sparkles on the trees,
Earth Angels and Forest Pixies sail along the breeze.

Delightful novelty, a sense of wonder in the day,
Fairytale embellishment elevates the play.

Even if and when, without warning or notice, such novelty should depart,
Residing in the echo: captivated heart.

Fantastical element long gone.
Fairy wonder ingrained, ever charming.

A story local to KC, this little gem resurfaced in the news feed. A marriage of the Wendy's Coffeehouse show on Coincidence with Dr. Bernard Beitman (podcast link) and the Atheist in Heaven show with Paul Davids, about Forrest J. Ackerman (podcast link).

Synchronicity here is a highlight on the need for time outs, recreation breaks and minds open to wonder. A light-hearted mystery for children of all ages.
