When you think about the creatures of fantasy, Is it perhaps that we would like to live in our imaginations. For they seem to be so much brighter than the world we live in today.
I would be willing to bet that a dragon is some form of dinosaur, and were perceived as such back when men were not as intellectual as they perceive themselves to be today,after all they try to logic there way around the world and plant there seeds of belief in you and me and everyone they see.
I like the thought of fantasy creatures they allow us to open our minds and see the world in a different light, where logic is thrown out the window and anything can happen from three wishes to fairy god mothers, and don’t forget the evil witch, who instills the reality of pain and gallantry. Yes I believe that there was and will be again those that have the thoughts that allow us to leave this dreary planet if only in our minds, and travel to distant places where we can be whatever we like a knight or a princess waiting for her prince to save her from that fire breathing dragon who has her locked up in his tower.
To ride a unicorn and fly through the skies safe and warm on his back fighting off the evil warlocks and releasing the poor people from their terrible rule over them, having saved the people we then travel to a place where the dragons are fierce and devour any and all who stand in there wake of turbulence, and of course using the power of good and love to defeat the insatiable appetite of the fierce and fearless dragons.
What a wonderful imagination we as humans have, In our minds we can travel to the bottom of the ocean or to the farthest reaches of space and never even leave the comfort of our own homes, I wonder and I have to praise the almighty for giving us the power in our minds to create such worlds and such beautiful thoughts and live in our dreams like no other on this planet can.
Are they real? of course they are, do they walk with us and talk to us? Everyday and every moment they are beside you right now as you read these words,your mind has already traveled and imagined a better place and time where you live out your wildest of dreams and these creatures whether leprechauns or elf’s are alive in you and in me and they exist as long as the stories are told and as long as humans use there imaginations they will never die.
