People use elevators on almost everyday of the week in apartments, offices, schools, parking lot buildings, etc. Adults hold jingling car keys in their hand, babies play with pacifiers, people wear loose rings or bracelets, and kids use Nintendo DS sticks to play video games. When the elevator stops on its destination, just as these people in the elevator step over the bridge from being suspended in the air to standing on solid ground, a hand gets slippery, and someone's whatchamacallit falls out of their hand! The person tries to catch it in vain as the dropped object goes down, down, down into the seemingly never-ending abyss. Theoretically, the object would just fall to the bottom of the elevator shaft. But how do we know this is what really happens? Once we don’t see something, how do we know it's actually there? Instead of falling to the bottom of the elevator shaft, the object could vanish into the nothingness. Or Narnia! One of the two. Because not everything is what it seems. Today, if we don't see it, we don't believe it, but your car keys CAN go wherever you believe they will go. You don't need evidence! Seeing isn't believing, believing is seeing! The next time you walk into an elevator, think: Is it a normal elevator shaft? Or a secret entrance to Narnia? Don't be afraid to use your imagination.
