The Whispers of the Invisible
A Close Miss
Imagine yourself inches away from the tiniest city on a speck of dust. The fairy engineers are busy moving around, hard at work in their hidden, magical place. A slight movement from you could cause a gust of wind that might ruin everything for them. You are so very careful not to sneeze or even to breathe too hard.
One day, while cleaning your room, you get a bit too close. Remember? You pause, the duster frozen in your hand. A thought passes through your mind - should this speck have seen a dust cloth? But it's that pause, that moment of thinking, that spares the tiny city from an unintentional disaster. You move on, leaving the speck and its minuscule inhabitants untouched.
After this close call you realize how much these fairy engineers need your protection. Your normal life continues on, but you find yourself always aware of the small, invisible city in a speck of dust. Over time, the knowledge makes you more thoughtful, more kind. Now not a day goes by when you don't look at the world around in wonder.
