Margery Williams - Time
“You become. It takes a long time. That’s why it doesn’t happen often to people who break easily, or have sharp edges, or who have to be carefully kept. Generally, by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out and you get loose in your joints and very shabby.
But these things don’t matter at all, because once you are Real you can’t be ugly, except to people who don’t understand.” ~Margery Williams - The Velveteen Rabbit, 1923.

As a child, I remember wishing that somehow, I'd live in a country where it has its own queen. That came true when I moved to Australia. A woman born into a royal family and became queen for 70 years, had gone home to live in another royal kingdom under the reign of our King Jesus Christ. RIP your majesty, Queen Elizabeth II. ~Arlene
She was clothed in strength, duty to public service, dignity and grace. Rest in Eternal Peace! Our beloved Majesty Queen! Gretchen Hastings
