fAiRy RiNg

I followed my own trail to the playground today, and I met seven fairies sitting in a ring. Their voices played like harp in the wind. And I stood there watching, seven beautiful gentle fluttering fairies sitting in a ring.

When was the last time you visited the playground of your mind? When was the last time you took a piece of clay in your hand and turned it into a safari jungle full of your favourite animals? When was the last time you stared at pieces of Lego blocks and saw grand castles and sturdy bridges that led you to the beautiful princess trapped in the tower? When was the last time you drew a picture of mummy and daddy and you and brother and sister holding hands as one big happy family?

How quickly we forget. And how sad.
