Ava And The Little Folk

In the Arctic, orphaned Ava stumbles upon a group of magical dwarves who show him how it feels to have a home of his own.

When an orphan boy named Ava finds himself cold and alone, he comes upon a group of magical tiny people who show him how it feels to have a home of his own.

My story begins with two young boys Joe and Dylan, who live in the same street. They share a magical wonderland with friends in the forest across the road at the end of the suburb. It has been their playground for generations. Their older brothers built a fort there and they protect it with their lives. Every day after school they venture to the fort to play, battle and hang out with friends. The fort is old and beaten but kept together with love and a few nails. It sits in a clearing just inside the forest. On one side the houses of suburbia with all the bells and whistles, lawns being mowed, cars zooming past and dads coming home from work and on the other side. A wall of giants. Trees of all shapes and sizes guarding the entrance to the untouched beauty across the street. The beloved forest with its trees lining the roadside and towering up over the housed that surround it. There in the middle of suburbia, an enchanted thick untouched forest. A thing of beauty. Taking up enough land to make eight suburban blocks. It has grown since the dawn of time like a living entity. It has magic that attracts the kids and in return the children made pledges to protect it at all costs.

Me and My Godship Ava Chat, is a series of inner chats with the writer's personal God. The main theme is one of Love and the ease of having Love embrace the everyday happenings. Free will and choices,plus the responsibilities involved. It is a joyful journey of inner contentment, done with ease. The intention is to flood the reader with a Love mantle whenever invoked. There is no chronological order, and an intent is that whatever page is opened, a resolution is applicable. It was fun transcribing and perhaps there may be more chats along the way. Enjoy.
