It is only with the heart that one can see clearly, for the most essential things are invisible to the eye.”
― Hans Christian Andersen, The Ugly Duckling

Photographed at Petit Lac Des Cygne “Little Swan Lake”

Now, why did I choose a quote from The Ugly Duckling instead of The Wild Swans?  Mainly because there wasn’t a quote to be found from the Hans Christian Anderson fairytale that I love so much.  Not one that coordinated with the above photo anyway.

I continue to read my beloved fairytales to my grandchildren.  Many would say they don’t translate well in these modern times.  Actually, I dare to disagree.  I learned patience, perseverance, and that sometimes silence is golden from reading The Wild Swans, and these are qualities I want to pass to my grandchildren, modern society be hanged.

I always dreamed that Disney would make a movie of my favorite fairytale one day.  I no longer want that as they would just change the storyline so much that it would be unrecognizable, and I am a Disney fan.  If you care to read my favorite fairytale, you can find it here.  I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I have over the years.  Be kind to one another.  TWMA♥
