The Gnome asks...

Forgive me Warner Brothers

"What do we do now, Tortoise?"

The Tortoise pauses for a moment,

 takes a breath, 

  and uses a voice normally heard in so-called children's cartoons.

"The same thing we do every night, Gnomie.

  Try to bring hope to the world."

Narf! I mean, I loved this. Brought a genuine smile to my face.

A true sophisticate! Nice when a plan comes together!

And the ones that find that hope are the ones who notice the tiniest of movements in the gnomes and tortoises, as they once more play statues in the daylight.
I seem to recall from childhood the moment i knew they were real, the time they were in a rush and didn't wipe away their muddy footprints. Amateur mistake 😀

It boggles the mind! Cameras don't even work!
Imagine looking up into the branches of an orange tree, and seeing a tortoise eating an orange?
It was even peeled!
No sane person would ever believe me.

Sanity is overrated Jon, I tried it once. Did not care for it all. I much prefer having the ability to see all the invisible neon penguins we're surrounded by.

Love this! Keeping innocence alive with hope, like so called fairytales we are taught, a glimpse of such giving hope and wonderment, awesome Jon :)

I also got to give a nod to Pinky and the Brain.
This is one of those times when a laugh might make someone's day!

We need love where there is hatred. What a dreadful state of affairs we find ourselves in. 2020 is possibly the most dismal year I can remember. Covid and riots. What a combination. Yes, we need hope Jon and by the bucket load and quickly too. Hope you are doing ok my friend.

Perfect time to go for a smile.
Doing well, and hope you are the same!
