Personal Note: Driving down a road into the direction where the sun sinks into the earth, the cement stops and the power lines end, a new world begins. Leaving the steal steed and shoes behind, I enter the bog with carpets of soft emerald green moss, exploring barefoot the twist and turns. Under moon lit canopies of ancient oaks, the fire fly ladies light my way to the pond of a thousand reflections. I have come to sit with the Toad King and listen to his songs. We drank water lily wine from moss covered goblets, while transcending within the stories..... from the book of echoes.

    But even this does not please the king. He is dreaming of his princess and what could have been. .

ONE wakes up in the morning with muddy feet and moss in your hair...and the most AMAZING DREAMS........and the best part.......????.... a beautiful polished river rock under your pillow!
