Seven Lost Secrets

There are seven lost secret fascinations and abilities. They are that: animals can talk; your favorite blanket is woven from a fabric so mighty, that once pulled over your head, it becomes an impenetrable force field, nothing is too heavy to lift with the aid of a cape; your hand, held forefinger out and thumb up, actually fires bullets; jumping from any height with an umbrella is completely safe; monsters exist and can be both seen an done battle with; and the greatest, most special and regrettable loss of all: the ability to fly. ~ Radio Flyer

How true this and how wonderful if, as you grow older, that you didn't lose any of these fascinations or abilities you had as a child. Animals can talk...they comfort us when we are sad, make us smile, get us outside and having fun, and sit quietly beside us as a constant companion through all of lifes journeys with unconditional love ~ Your Favorite Blanket..who hasn't curled up under a blanket and instantly it has the power to make you feel better, warmer, loved. When we are sick, having the covers pulled up and getting tucked in has magical qualities that challenges modern day medicine. ~ Our Hands...we speak with our hands, we create with our hands, you will find as you get older that your hands have so much more power than you even knew existed ~ Jumping with an Umbrella...metaphorically speaking...jumping through life with a soft landing created by the umbrella of great friends and family. They also shield us through life's storms and sometimes they are there to help us dance in the rain ~ Monsters....they do exist, we often want to see the good in people and forget that there are monsters out there that can and do bring negativity to our lives...never let anyone steal your joy!

Then there is the greatest one...the ability to fly ~ Hold onto your dreams, "to thine own self be true", never lose yourself in anyone or anything for you are unique and will be constantly growing and developing...find your passion, keep hope alive, dare to dream and try the impossible, so what if you try and fail...inside you is a gift and you have the key to unlock it and Fly!
