Faith, Fantasy and Fairy Tales.

Faith is real and powerful. It does not mean forcing ourselves to believe something that someone told us that we should believe. It means allowing the heart to know what it knows even though the mind thinks that it can not be.

Faith and Fantasy appear to be the same thing to mind so it is better not to reject one’s fantasies too quickly. They just might be a genuine glimps of something higher. Fairy tales seem to help me to have faith.

Faith is a beautiful thing. I believe in it. ;)

I'm glad you believe in the magic. The mind is the skeptic; the heart is the believer.

Happy New Year, Mossy. Thanks for being a friend.

I just realized it's not New Year's yet where you are. Well, look at what you have to look forward to! :)

Good post. I think you are very right.

Fantasy and fairy tales are the voice of the soul...it sings to the mind and heart in a language all its own.

I think I like faith rather than belief because then you can shoot for the stars . . . it seems more expansive.
Happy new one to ye.

Becky!

I just read your poem "Poetry and Poets" in your gallery. Very nice. I enjoyed the pictures too.

Sophia,

I am glad to be your friend too. Thank you for reading my blog and for keeping me company with your blog.

"Looking forward" could mean seeing what is before you. (now)

Enreal,

I think you are right. I want to relearn that language, or perhaps regrow those ears that can hear it.
