Awakening
« on: May 05, 2010, 07:55:59 PM »
Deep within the sealed Drone maintenance bays in the Nevan, four sets of robotic eyes light up in the pitch black of the room. The mechanical arms holding them there, as well as the various data and power cables plugged into them, release as they step forward, stretching as if awakening from a long nap. They walk out to a more open spot, before locking on to their creator's signal. "Norrethain." They both say, their mechanical voices meshing as their eyes disappear into the darkness once more.
Seeing the world through a child's eyes is truly a unique experience. It helps you to retrieve that sense of awe, magic and wonder that you lost as you lost your innocence. Tell me, when was the last time that you thought of those childhood dreams? You know, the ones that you used to spend all your time wondering and fantasizing about? Have you forgotten them so easily? Have you forgotten what it felt like to see something for the first time, to see the magic in the mundane? Everyone says you should take the time to 'Stop and smell the roses'. But you should also take the time to look for the fairies, embrace the wind and enjoy the rain. Just once today, stop for a moment and look into that little piece of nature you pass everyday. Perhaps you may see something you did not notice before.
