THE DREAM KEEPER
Bring me all of your dreams...
You dreamer,
Bring me all of your
Heart Melodies...
That I may wrap them
In a blue-cloud cloth
...Away from the too rough fingers
Of the world.

Who I'd like to meet: 2007 Tabloid Witch Awards. "3:52," wins award. My niece to the left. My mom to the right.
Edgar Allan Poe and Maya Angelou for sure! Spontaneous types that have an aura of charisma that surround their being and shine a bright light wherever they go. People all over the world, different places, spaces, great poets, storytellers...other filmmakers, fairies and sorcerers.
I would like to meet all my ancestors that walked this life before me. I want to hear their voices and personal experiences in the different time periods and hear from their prespectives how their journey led them to where they ended.
I want to see the Paradise City...where life and happiness interwine into a serenity of peace and love. The perfect balance of spiritual and mundane.

This is a relief I sculpted a few years back
for my 3-D design class. The assignment was to design something from
the park and/or its surroundings. Since we were right there on the lake
front in Grant park, this was an obvious choice for me. ~S
Thanks for the add! I had to swing by to pay my respect and show some love. Please feel free to keep me posted on future events so we may show support...
