Those days that we’re expected to do something wonderful, magical, amazing…
New Year’s Eve is one of them.
Every year, I expect to do something wonderful, magical, amazing.. I expect to hear the ringing of a bell and the sure knowledge that an angel has gotten its wings as the ball drops and the stars rise.
Birthdays, anniversaries.. hell, all the holidays.
Expectations of magic and wonder.
And yet, when we don’t expect it, that’s when magic and wonder happen. When we’re not looking. When we’re blind-sided by the bright spotlight of Chance and Circumstance meeting on a dance floor somewhere.
She wears stiletto heels, Chance that is. Because she’s flirty and unpredictable. She runs hot and cold, but when she shows up, Josie and Betty Lou both avert their eyes.
They can’t touch her.
Circumstance, well, he’s steady… has a great day job – wears comfortable shoes, even if they’re more than likely Italian – and oh, when Chance walks in, they lock eyes and… well, suffice it to say that they’re responsible for the miraculous and immediate birth of the twin sprites – Magic and Wonder.
And there they are, unexpected. After that, they’re free spirits – can’t be cajoled into making an appearance by any living human, no matter the occasion. No, Magic and Wonder walk the world, looking for the space between night and day - only their parents can command an appearance.
And no amount of wishing will make it so.
No.. we wait in anxious hope, don’t we?
While the stars twinkle, and the red circle on the calendar recedes into the pink of twilight…
We wait. Maybe this year..

ReplyDeleteBut you said LiveWire in December!!! ;^)
Love this blog...
I always like the holidays and new year as a time to just stop... a time of nothing... I think that disappoints those close to me though, because they're expecting magic and wonder... and that never seems to arise out of anything organised... you just have to wait for fate to decide it's your turn!
ReplyDeleteYou see, the stiletto style is named after a type of short knife or dagger that features a long and thin blade. As a part of that, this style will always be on the cutting edge of new fashion. However, high heel stiletto shoes are also amazing in their ability to honor retro and classic styles as well, granting a truly varied and beautiful line of shoes and heels.
