A Thought in 2014

Why is it that you can go to a place like Disney World (which might do this better than anywhere else), suspend your disbelief, and actually let go of a lot of negative things while you’re there? Why is it so hard to on ordinary days in ordinary places? What is that allows some places and experiences to bypass the cynicism, pragmatism, and the like to tap into something more....primal, more.....childlike?

Is there a way to recreate that sense of fun and.....wonder in every day life? It would be a great skill to find, and one I find myself not very good at the past few years. Perhaps that’s one of the reasons for my often disconnect from my own writing.....
