Taking Shape

It doesn’t take much to make us believe in something.

A familiar shape. A change in scale. Something ordinary, slightly out of place.

Perhaps that’s where fairytales begin. Not in fantasy, but in seeing something familiar differently.

The shape stays with us. We simply keep imagining what else it might become.
