Love Will Win
Tuesday, October 29, 2013
“Real isn't how you are made,' said the Skin Horse. 'It's a thing that happens to you. When a child loves you for a long, long time, not just to play with, but REALLY loves you, then you become Real.'
'Does it hurt?' asked the Rabbit.
'Sometimes,' said the Skin Horse, for he was always truthful. 'When you are Real you don't mind being hurt.'
'Does it happen all at once, like being wound up,' he asked, 'or bit by bit?'
'It doesn't happen all at once,' said the Skin Horse. 'You become. It takes a long time. That's why it doesn't happen often to people who break easily, or have sharp edges, or who have to be carefully kept. Generally, by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out and you get loose in the joints and very shabby. But these things don't matter at all, because once you are Real you can't be ugly, except to people who don't understand.”

Only a few days left before the nightmare before christmas. This year I convinced the party to make it a red carpet event, inviting only film characters to the spooklight. In case your costume trunk is out of sparkle, here are a few characters to inspire you:
Lola
Susan
Mathilda Lando

Neverwas
Progress appears out of failure
When nothing works
When needs are not met
Light shines off the non existent
Parts and puzzles are pulled apart
To form the new thing
Built because nothing fit quite right
Created because nothing felt quite right
Growing because of strength of support
It will not be commercialized
