Sticks

He plays with his sticks day in and day out. In his bed, immobile and unassuming, he screams for food and beverage when they are needed. The whole time he plays with sticks, stacking them here and there sometimes, other times, waving them like a flag or some important signal for the pilot of a plane to see. But no one would ever have guessed there was an importance to these useless acts. The seemingly insignificant employment of play, of what we view as mindless leisure, could very well be the most important work of all. He sees something that needs to be done, that is all. And isn't that all that work is? And so, with every careful gesture that has no physical importance, we can be assured there is the utmost importance for Heaven or Faerie!
