Reading a book about slavery in the middle-ages, and as the author sorts through different source materials from different eras, I am starting to understand why so many completely fantastical accounts of "faraway lands" went without as much as a shrug. The world is such a weird place that you can either refuse to believe any of it or just go "yeah that might as well happen" and carry on with your day.

There was this 10th century arab traveller who wrote into an account that the fine trade furs come from a land where the night only lasts one hour in the summer and the sun doesn't rise at all in the winter, people use dogs to travel, and where children have white hair. I don't think I'd believe something like that either if I didn't live here.

and is your shame helpful? is it inspiring goodness and change? or is it keeping you frozen in time unable to move on and be everything you have expanded to be?

Ok but I think we're all just fundamentally thinking about walrus/fairy surprise in two different ways. Behold:

We're all just looking at it from two different angles here.

When people ask me whether I'm religious, spiritual, or believe in the supernatural, I'll say that I don't actively believe in anything, but I try to keep an open mind. And by this, I mean that I'd consider the existence of supernatural entities to be more plausible than the idea of a walrus capable of operating an elevator.

Basically, our reaction to a walrus knocking:

A fairy knocking:
