Creatures of Magic
Written by Irina Gallagher
There are two creatures that live in this house who possess an element of magic. Their luminous energies are brighter than the sun. Their essence belongs somewhere in the land of unicorns and griffins, not in the human world. They are much too fascinating to be mere mortals.
One comes from distant lands. She is a sorcerer, a wanderer, an enchanted being akin to a chameleon who transforms herself as quickly as a light flickers. Just as quickly, new worlds appear and new languages are created in her presence. She is a warrior, constantly battling for the good of mankind. She is inquisitive, tenacious, and passionate. Her zeal in all the endeavors which she creates for herself could fuel the world.
He is light. He holds in his hands an unadulterated spirit. He is but a wee explorer in our scope, but his spirit says that he has existed for infinitely longer than we realize, for when he sees photographs of his ancestors, there is a clear familiarity in his eyes. He carries a mystical power to erase all your woes with a single all-encompassing embrace. His embrace is the strongest, most accurate portrayal of the boundless love and kindness which live in his heart.
They have but one vulnerability; they are growing amongst us humans. In order for their enchanted magic to survive as long as possible, their imaginations must not be stifled. They must not be tarnished by the complexities of the pedestrian human world. Their spirits should not be dimmed by accounts of modern calamities. These magical creatures must not be overwhelmed by the excess of superfluous material objects which has come to be a human habit. They simply need less of our world to preserve more of theirs. And their world is not material.
“EXQUISITE”
Thank you very much, Randee.
Я словила себя на мысли, что читая твои статьи я открываю для себя совершенно новый и удивительный мир своих собственных детей. Твои статьи это как ключи для открытия дверей в их мир, такой удивительный и непохожий ни на какие другие. Ты права нужно просто уметь все это видеть и замечать. Спасибо за то, что делишся этими ключами:)
Юля, большое спасибо за теплые слова. Настолько приятно слышать.
If only we could bottle their enchanted magic! This was beautiful.
Thank you very much, Marianne. I guess our best is to try to maintain their magic as long as possible :)
Some day when these two creatures are adults, they will be on cloud nine reading this piece.
I hope so. Thank you very much.
Quite a sight at this age. They are us, yet the innocence places them beyond our world. That leads us to always ask our self, ” What could she/he be thinking”? Easy ….good things. So thank you little ones for giving ,us the escape.
They certainly make everything much more magical and exciting.
How lucky these creatures to be recognized and appreciated!
Beautiful
Thank you very much. We are the lucky ones.
Such a beautiful story. There is nothing better than being shown that such a magical place can exist and such wonderful creatures live within.
Thank you. I agree, we are incredibly fortunate that these magical beings invite us along.
