fantasy must be true
there’s no actual
to prove it’s not factual
a child’s wish come true
awaiting the ice-wagon
and ward off the snap-dragon
A person who had never listened to nor read a tale or myth or parable or story, would remain ignorant of his own emotional and spiritual heights and depths, would not know fully what it is to be human. – Ursula K Le Guin

Spot on with this lovely poem Eugenia. Thanks for joining in
Thank you, Sadje, and how are you feeling? I read in another blog’s comments you have a sore foot. 😟💖
You’re welcome Eugenia! I’m good as long as I don’t try to walk! It will be taken care of on coming Saturday. An operation to fix the ankle and the fallen arch.
I hope all goes well and wishing you a speedy recovery. 🙏
I’ve just read a book about how reading can save a world. ☺️
I can see where reading whatever is considered truthful words can save a world. Can you let me know the name of the book?😉
I’m going to do a review 😊
Such a good , sound, poem. The first half of this post is relevant: https://derrickjknight.com/2014/10/06/the-uses-of-enchantment/
Thank you, Derrick. Yes, relevant indeed! IMO, some fairy tales are too scary for children and can even be bothersome for adults. However, a child’s imagination will exist whether or not it’s headed in the right direction.
Well written, books take us to the world of imagination.
Thank you, Lakshmi!
