Time Catches us All
I just got home from seeing Finding Neverland. I thought it was a really good movie and yes of course, I cried.
The actually concept of neverland is amazing... a place where you never grow up.
Lately i've been thinking of why we have to make all kids grow up and if we ever really have to at all. I mean of course we have to learn and become education but do we ever really have to let go of alll the magick we felt as kids?
Maybe that is why christmas is so important to me. Christmas is one of the times where I felt the most magick. And it wasn't just excitement because I knew that presents were coming. It was the whole believe in Santa and in love and everything. I remember as a little girl I used to sit by the kitchen door and stare up into the sky to look for Santa and his sled. Sometimes my aunt or great grandmother would sit with me. And sometimes I would just sit there for like an hour alone before going to bed and leaving milk and cookies for santa and the reindeer. Well... I'll tell you a secret. One year, after my aunt left from sitting with me, I actually say the sleigh in the sky pulled by the reindeer. It doesn't really matter if you believe me or not because I believe in what I saw. I yelled and called for everyone to come see but by the time they did, the reindeer and sleigh were gone. From that moment on though I think I truly believed in Santa or maybe just the whole spirit of christmas. It's really a wonderful time even though sometiems really bad things happen on the day. Bad things happen all the time, it just seems so much worse when they happen on Christmas. I'll never forget what my mother did one Christmas but that doesn't change how much I like the season.
