Anyway, I made this for some kid I know.

His parents just split up, and his dad left, and the world’s become a scary place at the tender age of six.

I’d like to tell him, “Kid, this is where some of your best friends are going to live. When you feel like running away, come here. When you need some advice, check out what they have to say. Some of my closest family can be seen in print. Some of my biggest laughs and hardest cries started at a bookshelf. I have rounded every corner to soften life’s blows. I have been over every inch, lovingly piecing, smoothing and painting. Take care in what you choose to put here and it will remain a magic place for your entire life.”

But instead, I’ll help him position some dinosaurs and a few choice Captain America items, because he’s a bit too young to understand that…

here are the walls to the life you’ll build in your mind.

We circle warily around this thing between us, each trying to change it.

You, on your side, push and prod to shape it to your expectations while I, from behind my walls, try to coax it into something else. It resists. It has it’s own identity. It is malleable but resilient.

Eventually, exasperated, we go our separate ways in search of something easier and simpler. Other situations and other people are easier and simpler but the problem is, and always will be, none are touched by this crazy magic.

So we return and the pattern repeats itself as it has so often before. The earth circles the sun, tides roll towards the shore, stars come out at night. Maybe one day we will learn to accept what is and we will be happier.
