Do You Believe?

Do you believe in fairies? I do. I believe in fairies, in magic, in miracles. I believe that Harry Potter and other kids' stories may have more truth in them than seems at first sight. I believe in angels, and ghosts, but I think that ghosts may not really be bad spirits. I think that they are just people who stayed behind, maybe to wait for the ones they loved, or maybe to just have fun. I believe in there being a Good Place somewhere beyond the clouds where people go when they need a rest. I believe that plants can feel and that animals can talk. I believe that some animals, like dogs and dolphins, are even more intelligent than people. I mean, have you ever known a dog that was not loyal or a dolphin who did not know how to have fun? It is only humans who sometimes turn out that way. Have you never wondered why it is that animals can understand what we say but we can never understand what they say? C'mon, an animal may be trained, but a human? Never!

Nature has left us so many clues as to its true nature, but we never see them. We explain them away with our laws of physics. There is so much magic and wonder hidden under every stone, behind every crevice. But we are enlightened people. We turn away from it. The sky is blue because of refraction. The mermaids that ancient sailors saw were probably porpoises. Pictures of fairies? Probably paper cut-outs. It's almost as if we don't want to believe. :(
