Wonder

Take a deep breath and let it out. You’re sitting on your couch, your bed, or your floor, but you swear you’re in the world in your hands. Be it a book. Be it a video game. You feel the breeze on your face. Fly through the skies, jump out an airlock, stand on a cliff and overlook the castle. Whatever the setting. Whatever the purpose. You’re right there and it’s totally worth it.

Take another deep breath and a smile finds your face. Reach out your hand, feel the grass on the plains. Take the controls of a racing car. Run over villains and shoot for the stars. Search for the princess in a far off land. Save the galaxy with the force in your hand. Purge the plague. Find the impostor. Search for a bunker where your families been fostered.

Such magic there is in the fantasy world. Such adventure and wonder. Dreams that are pearled. Anything is possible. That is what it teaches. Anything is possible, if you just believe it. Be braver. Be inspired. Take the real world by the horns. Just like your hero wrestling the thorns.

So, thanks to the wonder and the belief in magic. Thanks to the escape and the world that has it. So when you’re off on adventure as a swordsman, a gunner. I hope you never lose that wonder.
