I love stories like Pygmalion and Pinocchio, or even the
Velveteen Rabbit. The idea that love
makes you real feels right to me. Most
of us are created out of love, or at least born into love.
It may not be possible to carve the perfect person out of a
block of stone, or wood, or even stuff them so full that they can be held and
hugged and expect them to turn into someone real, but until the world steps in
and begins chipping away at them and they begin growing armor plating to
protect themselves, most children are sweet and cuddly and warm my heart more
than I can ever believe.
Still it would be fun to create my own soul mate. Carving him into the perfect shape and
relying on Fate, or Blue Fairies, or Venus, or Anyone to make him real!
He would be cuddly and sweet, honest and brave, playful and
brilliant! He would be as big as me
with the soul of a child and the mind of a god!
What was it Disney said?
“Fairy tales can come true.
It can happen to you if you’re young at heart.”
