52. Rarr
26 February 2005 - &Copy; Copyright Jessica Macbeth, 2005. All rights reserved. Here we are now, years and years after Brian painted the Rarr, and I have a granddaughter, Megan, just a bit younger than Toby was back then. The other day, shortly before her second birthday, Megan and I were looking through the Faeries' Oracle. This was Megan's idea. She kept picking up the cards and wanting to play with them, so we sat down on the floor and I fanned them face down in an arc so she could draw and look at them one at a time. She'd draw a card, study it a while, and then hand it to me, and draw another one. About the fourth or fifth card she pulled, the Rarr came up. She looked at it and her eyes lit up. Looking up at me, she exclaimed, "Rarr!" She began weaving it through the air in a figure of eight, shouting, "Rarr! Rarr! Rarrrrrrrrrrrr!" She looked up at me again and giggled happily. Handing me the card, she motioned for me to swoop the Rarr through the air, while she laughed and laughed between shouts of "Rarr!" This is all probably proof of something, if we still needed any proof.
