This is the sky where you'll read the beautiful musings of Abigail Renae. Let her words fall on you, stir the waters in your heart. Through the storms and tempests, blue heavens and color-erupting skies her words will bring you to the heights and show you something yet unseen, and should you plunge into the depths her words will find you in the sea, kiss you in the waves, remind you, you are free.

Wonderland
"Sometimes I believe in as many as six impossible things before breakfast"
I haven't been able to stop thinking about this movie. In addition to envying Alice's wardrobe, admiring the beautiful masterpiece Tim Burton created, and falling in love with Avril Lavigne's latest song, I was left with a deep and thought provoking reminder...
What I choose to believe can create or destroy my destiny. If I don't know who I am, can I truly accomplish anything? If I let the opinions of others define me, I cannot fulfill my purpose.
But if I believe in the impossible and let myself become "much more muchier" in spite of my inability to see the future and regardless of the approval of others... if I take what is given to me and trust the transformation process, I will be equipped for the moment at hand, I will fulfill my destiny.
Perhaps I am stretching the Alice metaphor way too far. Maybe it really is just ridiculous drug influenced nonsense. But to me, it seemed to speak of faith. And faith is really just "hope mixed with trust". So maybe my life is something of a Wonderland. And I am loving the adventure.
Gail...loved the movie, but I loved this post even more. A lot!
