About Me

"What is REAL? asked the rabbit one day....... It doesn't happen all at once, said the Skin Horse. You become. It takes a long time. That is why it doesn't happen to people who break easy, have sharp edges or have to be carefully kept. By the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off, your eyes drop out, and you get loose in the 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
