Fairytales...

Literary fairy-tales often have gruesome and unfeeling endings: a commentary on the sometimes ironic complexities hidden within another picture. 
But that's only human existence when I zoom out. It's strange to think that in my everyday life, in the magnification of the world as I immediately access it,everything seems hopeful, happy, and purposeful.How strange to be somehow inherently cognizant of my everyday illusion of meaning, when in fact, I know I'm just lucky. Lucky enough to indulge in this illusory bliss. That's quite a fairy-tale. -J.L.
