Hello all! I have had a marvelous day today and i wanted to share it with you!
It is a new year, with new adventures, and i have decided to take full advantage of that! So, along with my pal, Luna, I decided to see how much trouble i could get into today :)
So, we went for a walk.
And on that walk, we ran into a creature, by the name of Mr. Snuffalobe
Well, Mr. Snuffalobe(Mr. S) decided that i was in need of some adventure(and indeed i was) so he presented me with a key
He told me to lean in close, so i did, and he whispered into my ear that if i could find the keyhole, i would enter my very own wonderland. The problem was, i only had 24 hours to find it.
24 hours! But, this secret keyhole could be anywhere! It could be in China for all I knew!
However, Mr. S told me not to worry, for he saw the excitement and dismay plain on my face, he wouldn't give me only 24 hours unless he knew i could find it. Well, that made me feel a little better, but we agreed that i had better get started.
Well, m and Luna searched high and low for hours until, i slumped, exhausted, against a tree.
"We will never find it, Luna. It's impossible. "
"Ariel, don't give up yet! Perhaps were looking in all that wrong places. After all, Lewis Carrol's version of wonderland was all In his head. Maybe that's all Mr. S meant. Maybe he meant for you too look deep inside yourself, and realize that Wonderland has been with you all along, and always will be."
Well, that sounded pretty profound to me, so with a little help form dear Luna, I did some major soul searching. Do you want to know what we found?
We realized that all we need to be happy is our own contentment. If we are happy with ourselves, then even in a dark situation, we can create our own light, our own happiness, and we can delve into our own wonderland.
Wonderland does exist, even though it is not tangible to the naked eye. Humans focus so much on seeing and touching things, we need to have proof that they are really there. When really, all we truly need to do is believe, and it will be.
Mr. Snuffalobe gave me the key to myself, what I needed to unlock the secret part of my mind that has access to Wonderland. It was with me all along.
