I never dreamed. . .

From childhood fairy tales to college philosophy classes, myths have been important to me.  And frankly, if I paid more attention to them, I might avoid some of my troubles.  Myths go beyond our normal boundaries of reality and touch that which is deep within us.  The mermaid represents imagination, and I knew that my first (and more to come) non-family project would involve mermaids.  So, this weekend I created my mermaid. Or, maybe she was already there and I only let her out. When I couldn't come up with a word or phrase for her, there in the old glued book page were the words, "I never dreamed..." 

This has been a big step for me, and I'm now dreaming of even more.  Thank you for letting me share with you, my mermaid.
