On Fairy Tale and Sacred Things

I was attracted to reflect to a poem of Nicholas Roerich on Fairy Tale.

To him, fairy tale are legend's and have become life for we live it again many times.

As we go along to live it again, we change it over again and again. And as we touch the earth if not the earthly life, from the present in the process today will become part of the forgotten past.

Just like in life, Roerich said that sacred signs are there and often re-appeared but unseen. However, when it is greatly needed no one can really see it.

Perhaps, because we are not ready to see it.

Only for the sacred things to re-create life and the meaning behind it because we are too busy with our own legends.

We may not be able to see what is sacred for now since we continue our own fairy tale and wonder on how we can construct a new legend only to be forgotten?
