The computer

Dear Faeries,

I keep getting drawn to the computer. It’s like I’m looking for something, but I don’t exactly find ‘what I’m looking for’ on the computer.  Is there like a magnet in the computer that makes me stop what I think I want to be doing and sit at the dumb computer?

Well, I guess I found you here.  Can you help me?

Sincerely, Stuck at the computer girl.

Dear Girl,

You found us!  Not that you needed to look here.  Look over your shoulder. Listen to little thoughts in your head that make you smile.  Dance and let your imagination picture us.  It’ll be right, you know. Imaginations are really really smart that way.  Maybe you are looking for your imagination on the computer? 

‘Oh! Wait! I Know!’ shouts out a faerie ‘ For a little tiny step away from the computer,  go do something silly.  Scribble.  Put maple syrup on your toast and peanut butter. Do something you currently think is completely unproductive.   There you’ll find us.  Hiding, playing, and helping you to discover that those unproductive things are leading you to what you are looking for.’

{“Hey, faerie-with-the-aha-moment-to-help-girl, where’d you come from?” ask the other faeries quizzically.  But faerie-w-t-a-m-t-h-g, doesn’t answer.  Just giggles.}
