STORYKINS :: Winter Bear

In my dreams there is a winter bear who walks across dark skies. He strides with pride and confidence while the day sleeps under a blanket of warmth and silence. He roams the open earth, searching high and low for fallen stars. Stars that have lost their sparkle, that have lost their shine. They are the stars that gently fall down over time and cascade to the earth with a luminous trail of light. They are the stars that we wish upon and they are the stars that the winter bear searches to collect.

His soft refection can be seen in the mountains, looming over the summit making him appear like a giant roaming the snowy plains. His reflection can be seen glistening on open waters while ocean waves roll over rocks and carry fallen stars out to sea. He searches high and he searches low. In empty caves frozen with ice, in bare forests where animals hide, in the vast tundra of the great northern hemisphere.

In my dreams I never know what the winter bear does with his stars. I never know if he finds what he is looking for on earth. I never know if he truly walks this land or if his reflection lives on in the sky. Perhaps it lives in our dreams.

Every time I see a falling star I think of winter bear, tucked away in the deep coldness of the night, silently walking the land searching for his dreams.

Copyright © 2021 · Babiekins Magazine | A Trendsetting Kids' Fashion Magazine and Online Community for Parents and Children Alike · Since the Southern California birth of Babiekins in 2010, the magazine has grown from into an internationally-recognized print publication with a global circulation and now a thriving online community. We are more than a kids’ fashion magazine. We search everywhere for inspiration, and go beyond trends to bring you fashion, style, decor, design, books, DIY, parties, and playthings. Our readers look to us to keep up with the best and most up-to-date concepts in the children’s market worldwide. We have an eye for quirk. We’re high-fashion, but we value whimsy over tradition. Playful childhood is more important to us than making kids into copycat adults. We believe life is beautiful, life is valuable, and life changes when you see it through the eyes of a child. We seek to transcend skin color, language and zip codes and bring out the real, wild, magical creativity inherent in every child. And behind Babiekins is an optimistic team of mothers-turned-editors, working from home, often with our own little babiekins climbing on, under and around the desks. We want to encourage you, and challenge you to see something different — something special — in yourself and in this world we all share. Welcome to Babiekins!
