"If [children] cannot imagine,
they cannot hope,
and without hope they are story-less creatures,
trapped in a prosaic world in which the pages
are torn away one-by-one
and
thrown into the fire
and
no one looks ahead
with a joy of discovery
and
no one ever peeks
at the last page of the book
to rest in the assurance of a happy ending
- but no, not a happy ending, a happy beginning
- for that is our hope."
~ Jennifer Trafton, Tales of the New Creation
