fairytales

For we live by faith, not by sight.  2 Corinthians 5:7

There is no such thing as a fairytale until you experience one first hand. While some may not see magic in a parade of boats freely floating in formation, or the conversion of water into a sheet of silvered glass, or the sudden appearance of colored dots saturating the surface of the bay, I believe in the supernatural.

But when this fantasy is overtaken by an opaque grayish white, and you feel trapped in the middle of a claustrophobic haze, do not be alarmed. Every story is filled with transitions that are inherently foggy. The unknown of the next moment is unsettling with no visibility beyond the blurred horizon.

We should not fear, however, because it only takes the turn of a page for the clouds to retreat. After all, it was the dream of a happy ending that began our adventure once upon a time. And when we see “happily ever after” come into full view, we know there is nothing more appropriate to do, then look up to the sky and say a heartfelt “thank you!”
