Where do the missing socks go?
Sometimes as adults we
tend to forget the simple pleasures of using one's imagination. We tend to look back and fondly remembering being
a child who's imagination was endless. Or we find ourselves envying children for their open-mindedness.
There are many things that exist in which we take for granted. Rain is one
of those things. We tend to complain or find discomfort when it rains. It becomes a nuisance as it creates slick
roads, floods, and landslides. What we take for granted is how it provides water for us and plants; how it provides
life. It is magical in that the smallest rain drops can make a huge difference.
What we fail to see is that there is even more to the rain. It is the most vital ingredient in the creation
of something magical and the answer to one of life's most pondered mystery, "where do the missing socks go?"
When it rains lightly, magic is being spread around. It touches the ground, plants, and you. Often the magic gets
on your clothes and eventually is transferred to your socks. Usually, only one sock has enough magic to begin its transformation.
In the dryer, the sock finds it way outside. It makes its way to a tree where
it burrows for 13 days. On the last day, the sock finalizes its transformation to a living magical creature called a
Mizzle.
And now, everytime you are missing a sock after doing your laundry,
you know it has become a magical Mizzle. Very odd, I know, but its true.
