Starting with the weather. We can predict that winter will be cold. Plain and cold after a long and rainy autumn. Trees are beautiful but they would be more so if the sun was out. Which is not. It is out there of course but there are clouds in the sky without the meaning to move. Wind has abandoned us. No wonder, we have not been giving offerings. No kite flying, not Tobi in the air.
Although I am happy to report that Tobi is pretty much back to his usual self. Things at first got from bad to worst as he not only had the appearance of a sunflower in a large pot but within a day from our gruesome encounter with the otherwise lovely and chatty fairies he stopped moving about. He even stopped eating although he seemed to have appreciated when I watered him with some plant food mixed in the water. Jen said he must have been upset and his serious condition was due to that and not the fairies’ magic but I didn’t believe her. Lili really liked the decorated Tobi last week so she keeps bringing him leaves and flowers to keep going but since he is himself again he really doesn’t want them. Afraid I guess. Which brings some questions about the motives and attitudes of these fairies now, after all, how is it to govern people and dragons alike with the instrument of fear? It’s like making people wait for the little green man on a Saturday morning before crossing the road not because there is plenty of traffic or because people wouldn’t trust their ability to judge when it is safe crossing the road but because of the hefty 60 Euro fine. That would be a well accommodated social rule than now would it? But in our human society since the cult of Hobbes begun combining with Machiavellian thinking and bringing into its glory with Nietzhean ides FEAR is the sole governing principle of social organisation. I just didn’t expect fairies that they would do such things… make someone be afraid!
Hang on…
He is telling me, the former sunflower, he has no fear in his heart. That is not why he doesn’t want the flowers. Although they are pretty, now he understands. He just reminded me that for the last week he has been a flower. And it was wonderful. But he loves flowers now in a very different way. Ok, sometimes it is fun to eat them but they… He is getting to emotional to make out his words. And I guess I am taking back the stuff about the fairies. They are quite tricky I guess. They finished the job of creating a pacifist dragon. A concept I knew could not exist.
Let as Smile together. Happy or not here I smile!
Some people just smile at my attempt of trying to make a smile revolution. I quietly note them down as sympathisers or passive supporters but won over to the cause never the less. They smile at me! I guess it is all about being positive. Notice the smile. Don’t notice the not smile. Stuff like that. But it is getting there. However today I will not go out much. I am not in the mood for smile. Smile rest… Maybe in the evening. Gather more supporters to the revolution. I wonder if we ever need a battle cruiser for this, something called Aurora or so. It is hard to imagine smiling happily, full of love while shelling the winter palace. I guess even Bolsheviks got it wrong. I know some people who will be delighted to hear this from me.
And finish it with a question:
What is common between
Gandhi, Guevara and Mandela?
Or in friendlier terms
Mahatma, Ernesto and Nelson?
And I think Tobi can make use of the poster paint! He can be painted flowery! A happy dragon
