"Today my winged horse is coming, and I am carrying you off to the moon and on the moon, we will eat rose petals." Shirley Jackson

 “Everything You Love Will Probably Be Lost, But In The End, Love Will Come Back In Another Way.” — Franz Kafka.

Meeting a little girl crying about her missing doll, Franz and the girl searched for it but never found it. The next day, he wrote a letter and handed it to the girl, saying it was from her bear.

The letter read that the bear had traveled to see the world, telling the girl about its travels. He kept up the ruse for a while, writing more and more letters to the girl, pretending it was the bear until finally, he bought a bear for her.

The girl realized that the bear looked nothing like the one she had owned initially, but when she received one last letter telling her that “My travels changed me,” the girl went home happier than ever with her new doll.
