Living the Fairy Tale Life

Thursday December.14.2006 in Hope, Writings

“Everything is not as it appears to be,” he told me before skittering down the alley. Still startled by his sudden comment and disappearance, I turned back to the city street, shaking a scrap of a newspaper clipping off my shoe.

Too many crazies on the street today - paranoia everywhere. “My friends and I are closer than that,” I thought. But I wondered. I remembered some old Twilight Zone story of aliens that caused chaos among friends in a small town by spreading fear. People cutting off their nose in spite of their face, again and again. Don’t they know that if I hurt the grocery clerk’s bottom line their prices go up?

I looked back at the clipping. “GIANT SAVES DOLPHIN” Maybe there was hope after all the brokenness though. Maybe the impossible does happen more often than we know.

I hope so. I’ve bet my life on it.
