I keep running my fingers along the edge of this box..I wonder if it is a music box..I remember seeing one of those once. A classmate brought it to school for show and tell..she got it for her Birthday, her daddy gave it to her as a special present.

When she opened it a ballerina popped up and started to dance..oh and the ballerina was so pretty..I think she must have been the luckiest girl alive to have such a box..I wonder if this one has a ballerina inside waiting to dance…okay..okay..cant wait any longer..

Hmmm..not a ballerina..but still very nice… Wind chimes?…maybe there is something under the Wind chimes, let me lift them up..hmmm..nut’n..they sound nice too..but hmmm..Wind chimes?..would really of liked to have seen a ballerina too..

oh well..the box is still very pretty I could keep stuff in it..like my marbles..

Wait..there are words written on the Wind chimes..its very tiny writing and hard to read..but..it says;

Alone you may feel
And out of place

Yet in a Garden
You’ll find my grace

Hang these chimes in a Garden fair
And where they sing
You’ll find me there

What a strange thing to write ..I wonder what that means? They do sound very lovely.
Myswell hang them from the Oak tree..maybe the Marble fairies would like to hear them.

There….that wasn’t so hard..

Now think I will sit by the tree and put my marbles in this lovely box, we are a bit tired..

Yawn..I must of went to sleep..I never take naps but the sound of the chimes.. they sing so softly in the breeze..makes me feel sleepy..I had the most wonderful dream..

I dreamt of sweet jams and cake, fry bread with honey, and peach iced tea, the most food we have ever ever seen and someone was there with me..strange.. I can’t remember, but feel the softness of something against my cheek, warm and tickly. It’s gentle touch made me feel safe, but trying to chase the picture is like trying to hug a moonbeam..hmmmm..
I cant quite get a hold of it…

What is that lying by the flowerbed..oh my…it’s…it cant possible be..there are two glasses of half drank peach iced tea..but I was only dreaming..wasn’t I?

I just can’t believe my eyes..where did these glasses of tea come from?..

“That is an interesting statement child ...believing one’s “I’s…”

Okay…who said that?..Marble Fairies..are you playing tricks?..

Hmmm..hello…I said.. HELLO!…. Hmmmm..

This is most strange…there is no one here but me..can’t see anyone else..
Whoever is playing with me must be very fast…I said.. “HELLO!”

“I haven’t gone anywhere Little One and there is no need to shout..”

Stop that..Please..who is there?

hmmmm..

Well..then.. if you’re here..why can’t I see you?

“Perhaps if you cover your ears Child..your looking to hard”

Well how is covering my ears going to help me see you?

“Oh my.. this is going to be a challenge..how wonder full”

“Humor me..please cover your ears..”

Okay..but first..

your not like…a..

BIG HUGE SCARY Swamp Bug!..are you..

Soft chuckles.. “I have been called many things..but a Swamp Bug.. and a Big Huge Scary one even…that is a first..and I thought I was thru with those..you have given me a tickle..oh my..oh”

Loud laughter echoes..

“Oh no, now you have gone and done it..I haven’t let out a good laugh in ages and ages..that was especially delightful..thank you!”

Okay..I guess you can’t be that scary with a laugh like that..

I’ll cover my ears..

My Gosh..my gosh..my gosh…you’re a..

“..a Wonder?”

NO..I MEAN…YES..

YOU’RE A UNICORN!

WHY DO I HAVE TO COVER MY EARS TO SEE YOU?...

Softly “I have told you there is no need to shout”..

SORRY..

IT’S JUST THAT IT’S VERY HARD TO TELL HOW LOUD MY VOICE IS WITH MY HANDS COVERING MY EARS …

YOU SOUND SO FAR AWAY..

I THINK I HAVE TO SHOUT FOR YOU TO HEAR ME..

“…now you know why I asked you to cover your ears...how do you expect to see a wonder when your listening to what your head is shouting can’t possibly be and not your heart’s whisper of what is…..sometimes it takes listening to what your hearing inside to understand why you don’t see quiet as well outside…you my little friend are simply…sigh….trying to make sense, a very noisy process if you ask me…...”

“Did I confuse you?”

NO..

WELL MAYBE?..

BUT I THINK I CAN TAKE MY HANDS OFF MY EARS NOW..I WILL TRY NOT TO MAKE SENSE OF WHAT I am seeing...

“Good..you will need to use both of your hands to hang this sign on the Entrance to the Dream Garden.”




ENTER if you will
Non-sense only please
Find Joy
Breathe
Be still
Perhaps even slumber
But above all else
Don’t forget
a child’s forgotten Wonder

Beautiful story Evangelista...
