“What do you do when a little girl comes up to you and tells you: ‘I have a super power. I’m a fairy. I can make all your dreams come true. All you need to do is share them with me ...?’”
“Well, what do you mean ‘what do you do?’ I smile kindly, nod along and move on.
Girls have these dreams. It’s not that uncommon. They would love to think they are princesses, or mermaids … and why not fairies, too?”
“And you’ll let her go? Just like that? Without even saying a word?”
“Of course! Kids can be very naïve sometimes; does that mean we have to pay attention to every single creative outburst of theirs?”
“But what if that girl really was a fairy?”
“Are you telling me you consider that an option? Like, at all?!”
“Well, why not? Why can’t kids be right, too?”
“Because there is no such thing as magic!! No wizards, no witches, no fairies! Nothing. They are fictional. Exist only in the fairy tales, the ones …”
“And what if we all live in a fairy tale and haven’t realized it yet? What if we all are fairies in our own way but don’t really believe it’s possible?”
“It isn’t!!!”
“But what if …”
“No ‘what if’! What has gotten into your mind? How can you even consider the words of a little girl being true? Kids dream. They don’t really think about their dreams; they are not familiar with the dimensions of reality, yet. I mean … please! A fairy!? And us … being a part of magic, too? Noo …”
“Would you believe me then, if I told you that I can reach the stars by the blink of my eyes; or that I can let the sunshine break through the thick blanket of clouds above us; or that I can make …”
“… me go crazy in the next couple of seconds, if you don’t stop acting so weird!?”
“I don’t get it! Why does it have to be weird? Only because we can’t accept it, doesn’t mean it’s not real. Magic is all around us. You can feel it, if you try hard enough … it’s right there, at your finger tips.”
“… I am done with this. Please, call me when this outburst of yours is over … long over! I can’t be your friend while you’re acting like this!!!”
“Good! Then maybe you can’t be my friend, at all. If you don’t believe in what I believe, then I guess our paths diverge, don’t you think? “
“What …?”
“Life is much more than just reality, you know. It’s about going out there and seeing the invisible. It’s about listening and being able to hear the silence … about dreaming and reaching out to the intangible. Don’t give me that look! I believe it’s true. No! I know it is!”
“But how ..?”
“I met a girl the other day. She told me … and I believed her. She was a fairy! “
