Balance of Mind and Heart
There weren't always dragons in the Valley. When the small village of Clovemoore was first founded, nestled between the two beautiful mountains Hixladle and Nyborne, there was not a single beast in sight. The stream that cut through the lush green ferns and grasses in the Valley provided the people with all the water they could want, and the livestock of the town had plenty of sweet flowers and grass to graze on.

Equestria, The Land I Love
Equestria, the land I love I first found the world of Equestria when I was a young child. My grandmother gave me her phone with an episode playing as our plane was landing so my ears wouldn't pop. I couldn't stop watching and admiring the adventures of Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, and Rarity. As I learned much later, the reason this show clicked so well is because of the mix of character types. There's no one right way to be a girl, which has been reflected over this world many times over.

When I was young, Peter hopped across the pages in the book you see above, then went under the fence into Mr. McGregor's garden. Flopsy, Mopsey, and Cottontail stained their mouths with fresh juice from the blackberries their mother asked them to pick.
