Little wonders.
As people grow up they grow out of fairytales.
The fairytales that we are told when we are little as supposed
to teach us about notions as courage, sacrifice, love, but not all
of them are empowering for both genres. Princesses are supposed to
wait for the arrival of a brave knight and often are portrayed as
being fragile, naive or even asleep (just think of Snow White and
the Sleeping Beauty). The incumbent idea of salvation/rescue makes
them weak, passive. The greatest gift they possess is their beauty.
It is true, nonetheless, that in recent years a new prototype of
young girl/woman began to be seen more frequently in Disney
productions for example. But it is only a budding concept.
What I appreciate in a fairytale is thus, not the feminine
portrayal of the main character, but the sense of wonder and magic
and the idea of everlasting love.
I feel the fairytale only begins for me.
Like in a fairytale, the magic pops up in numbers and 3
is always charged with amazing energy. This 3 brought me a green
park, an abandoned airport, American buildings and a Hollow Tooth,
rabbits, long walks and a tender soul whose steps matched mine
because we are heading in the same direction. Now think of a
fairytale that has all these elements: create a setting, a plot and
unfold the story. Unfold it as it has only begun.
