Talking of Faith.......

"You know when you were a little kid and you believed in fairy tales? That fantasy of what your life would be – white dress, prince charming who’d carry you away to a castle on a hill. You’d lie in your bed at night and close your eyes and you had complete and utter faith. Santa Claus, the tooth fairy, prince charming –they were so close you could taste them. But eventually you grow up and one day you open your eyes and the fairy tale disappears. Most people turn to the things and people they can trust. But the thing is, it’s hard to let go of that fairy tale entirely because almost everyone has that smallest bit of hope and faith that one day they would open their eyes and it would all come true. At the end of the day, faith is a funny thing. It turns up when you don't really expect it. Its like one day you realize that the fairy tale may be slightly different than you dreamed. The castle, well, it may not be a castle. And its not so important, happy ever after, just that its happy right now. See once in a while, once in a blue moon, people will surprise you, and once in a while people may even take your breath away."
                          - Meredith Grey from Grey's Anatomy

For many of us, fantasy ends where adulthood begins. As we grow up, we become more practical and logical and forget how wonderful it was to believe in the unbelievable, to wish on things we now know are too good to be real and the wonders of being random. 
And then again, when we do afford to be random, we realize that fantasies are indeed too good to be let go off. We like the fact that they surprise us, enchant us, mesmerise us and as Meredith says, once in a blue moon, even take our breath away.

Have Faith!!

  1. Its a lemon cocktail....
    The way you have squeezed the essence out of the quote (squeezed juice out of lemon) and then made a cocktail of emotions is the beauty it carries. The readers awakens to reality and then leaves with hope and a smile..
    Delicious....
