Somewhere Between Two Worlds
It is beautiful when someone is given a gift
that takes them to the places between sleep and
waking. Where reality fades, where less pain
and happiness awaits, where you can hold to
unreal bliss, reliving unreachable mirages,
hoping they will still be there when you open
your eyes. Where you believe in everything,
and where you venture forth dreaming and
feeling free.
One thing I really don’t miss from
my childhood is remembering reality. Too
much drama, too many memories that need
good cleansing storms. But the past is mine.
I cannot get away from it. It needs my
attention. It deepens my sense of time and
rekindles something dormant. It summarizes
my life. It adds value to my existence and
the person I became.
To whom I love and lost.
This is a life story in the voice of a little girl endeavoring to understand God's will. She is seeking to unravel the point of her existence.

There is no love in the young children’s lives, and she finds solace from her loveless world by embracing the beauty and stability of nature.This poignant story is a reminder of the stark reality lived by other children around us who are starving for love. It gives great insight into the mind of a young child and her search for answers.
