Pollyannaished ~

On August 22nd, Rhockaby is feeling : Pollyannaished ~

There's somthing tingling inside me. A very faint voice telling me to go with it. A sense of familiarity willing me to accept its offering.

'Everything is going to be ok, isnt it?'

Experience. The fact that more experience makes a person more knowledgeable has been proven countless times over. Previous experiences teaches us, prepares us for upcoming things and events. We learn to expect, we learn to prepare.

But what would you give to relive a moment when you discovered who the real mastermind villian is in an all time favorite book of yours? What would you give to feel that great sense to awe of a magical illusion you once saw but now know the trick behind it? What you you give to feel again the joy of blowing your first soap bubble? What would you give to sense the giddiness when you first held hands with you crush?

Best moments are mostly the firsts of anything. People always go 'I remember the first time I...' followed by another memorable anecdote. Its that sense of discovery, a sense of excitement, unable to predict, unable to comprehend. A smile slowly carves its way onto thy face and awe follows.

Children, little children ... they feel this everyday. Everyday a new magic trick is presented to them. Candles being lit. Magic! Glow in the dark. Magic! Coin behind your ear! Magic!

As we grow older, we grow more arrogant. When someone performs something we have not yet seen, not yet comprehend, instead of applauding we intend to guess. We want to know how this is done.

"You know what, I think it was done like this ..."

"I reckon this is the correct explanation ..."

Curiosity? No. Knowledge is a powerful thing, and powerful things have always proven to be drug-like addictive. No one sits there and lets the mystery linger anymore. No one wants to be the person who just enjoys the performance but not know the science behind it.
