| Blackberry is wondering what happened to the world. |
New York City has been transformed by snow. This most recent precipitation clung to
the branches. The snow turned everything it touched into a Winter Wonderland.
The change isn't just visual. All that white adds an abundance
of light. It softens the harsh edges of the city. It hushes the sounds. The
dogs are almost beside themselves with joy. The people smile.
It really is like magic.
Now I love to read books in which there are dragons
and wizards. But the books I write aren't usually about creating brand new
worlds.
I like to find some kind of magic in this one. Rainbows, meteors, people doing what
they thought was impossible, birds finding their way home.
I like to make
magic too. Storytelling can do that.
So can listening to a friend or sharing a smile.
