Fluff and Stuff

Elastic bands

bound as a ball

holding fluff

and other stuff -

oh, what a ball-like beast to bounce about.

It holds:

magic,

religion,

sorcery

and even thoughts of Harry Potter -

oh lovely stuff we play with,

hold as belief,

believe when we hold such stuff.

Yes, wish to believe in belief,

play with belief

until we can jettison it

and toy with belief again,

perhaps tomorrow

with a glass of wine

and several smiles

while giggling and babbling

and playing with that ball of elastic bands

that holds stuff, just as belief does.

can we grow up and still hold on to the joys and playfulness of youth?
It would be nice to believe we can.

Belief has bound things together for centuries. The medieval Christian church held the otherwise contentious European tribes together during difficult times. For that we should be thankful. For the more negative effects of belief, not so much.
