As I was driving over a hill,
approaching a four way stop,
my iced white mocha in my
right hand, and left hand on
my steering wheel. I caught
myself in awe at the scenery ahead of me.

It was about 7:30A.M. Ahead of me
was an open area full of monster size,
bright green pine trees. I could still
see the morning dew that stalked the trees.
It was as if someone had rebelliously run
through the forest with a fog machine. For a
few seconds, my mind thought of nothing else.
It then reminded me of my
childish obsession. My love
for fairytales like vampires and
werewolves. I am convinced I
had the biggest crush on Taylor
Lautner, featured in the Twilight movies.
I always had a great imagination.
I was obsessed with those movies.
Not because I believed they were true,
but I was excited to see someone else
use their imagination.
Sometimes I find myself wishing
I was in a fairytale. Of course, fairytales
come with their own issues and curses,
but unlike real life, there are politics,
numerous genders, abortions, murders,
disrespect of the American flag, hatred for
for one another, empty arguments and
depicting whether or not the vaccine is
trustworthy.
Then I reminded myself just
because this life has its troubles,
does not mean it is a horrible life.
Life is still purposeful, beautiful
and mysterious. There are many
things we do not know about.
I am not talking about vampires
and werewolves, but our majestic
creator, God. He brings peace, truth
and love. No matter what happens,
God wants us to enjoy life. Enjoy His
creation. He wants us to enjoy
His foggy pines.
CHALLENGE Use your imagination. Give yourself a break
from the bad news. For a few seconds, catch a glimpse of
nature, because you too will be in awe.
