Fable

Once upon a time, there was a little girl called Phoebe. Her best friend was a cuddly sloth named Monty. They went almost everywhere together but Phoebe was not allowed to take Monty to her nursery school.

One day, Phoebe was poorly so she had to stay at her grandma and grandpa's house. They allowed her to bring Monty too.

Her grandpa was sitting in the computer chair yet again. He was typing away on the keyboard.

"What are you doing?" asked Phoebe.

"I am visiting the blogosphere," replied her grandpa.

"May I go there too?" asked Phoebe.

"Of course," said her grandpa.

Very soon, still cuddling Monty, Phoebe entered the blogosphere.

It was like a ride on a ghost train with hideous monsters round every corner. They were all grown up. Every one of them.

She met Jilted John, Monstrous Meike, Deadly Dave, Jailbird JayCee, Crocodile Cro, Moonwalker Mary, Spiteful Steve, Jihadi Jennifer, KKK Keith Kline, Naughty Nurse Pixie, Angry Andrew from Melbourne, Eerie Elsie, Manic Monica, Brutal Bruce and a bunch of other equally scary monsters.

"Help! Help! Let us out!" cried Phoebe and Monty together banging on the computer monitor screen from the inside. It had been like the worst nightmare ever!

Later, as she spooned strawberry yoghurt into her mouth, Phoebe said, "I never want to visit the blogosphere again Grandpa! It was horrible in there!"

Monty was so stunned by the experience that he did not speak ever again.

south

 As I’m making cornbread to go with chili, I’ve listening to Italian music with a scape of the Italian Riviera. In the present, I’m in the Deep South, in the precipice of my soul I’ve returned to the place that sparks my dreams. Whether or when I return doesn’t matter, my mind was allowed to wander with wonder. It’s something I’ve not done in a long time. My reality didn’t change, but my perception and perspective did. That my dear friends is a gift. One I’ve not appreciated fully or enough. 

I haven’t listed my gratitude lately, and my mental health can tell. Apart from life and Jesus for which I’m eternally grateful, I need to add one thing in particular. I’m grateful for my imagination to come up with a story to take me where I want to go until my reality complies. Thank you Lord. What I’ve not liked about myself is saving me right now. 

Please never stop dreaming. I used to think it was pointless. I was going to la la land. I didn’t live in reality. Let me tell you, I’m fully aware of reality. More than I want to admit. If my mind decides to take a ten minute detour, I’m going to enjoy the ride. 


Love yourself and one another

 Let me

Give thanks

For breath

And Your love

Sustain a soul

Weary

Because

I can’t fix

What ails me


Love yourself and one another
