Build me a fort out of carnations.


Dear Fleur.
I think I have 4 letters to write. But I was too busy re-reading Peter Pan and crying to look for stationary. And then I was skimming Jeremiah. And wondering if it would be weird if I wanted to name a boy "Atlas."

I want to go build a fort. And put carnations in it. And cut out fireworks. Is that even really possible? And you know what I really want to do? I want to make stuffed toys again. I miss doing that. I used to do it a lot.

I think I need to stop reading Peter Pan for a little bit.
I think J.M.Barrie makes me go mad.
Seriously.

I'm going to go do some algebra now. And draw. And probably skim more Jeremiah. And pretend to be sane.

Sometimes I just want to be a Mom. And sometimes I know why Wendy didn't go back to NeverLand with Peter.
Love Bell.

  1. Hooray for Barrie. I love that you get caught up in him. Really has a knack for delivering the wit along with the whimsy, doesn't he? :)

    Be sure to read these two books, too. The only 'other' Pan stories worth their salt.
    Based on Barrie’s own idea for more:

    And a great 'What if?' adventure (but it's not for the kids!): Click!
    BELIEVE!
