Subject: My daughter-in-law and I went OFF today--but in a Good way

She's homebound a lot with a toddler and has been looking for inspiration. She felt silly telling me she has a thing for fairies. She finds them magical and other wordly.

So I suggested that it's quite sane.I/we have a FEW things for Eddie, because he's magical--and very human.And I said that it seems humans are drawn to almost-human creatures that have paranormal powers.

Like we are drawn to movie stars, who are bigger than life and capable of unlimited appearances and actions in movies.

So for her the fairy thing could be her particular catalyst for inspiration and change. As Eddie is for us. He's become something more than a performer, or we have created him that way to ourselves--and run with it!

Then she and I talked about creating one's self, how you need to go back and remember the child who hid itself at age 4-7; who then became more what the world was telling it to be, and how you need to comfort it and bring it forward--intact.(in her case the child who believed in fairies)

Because we all know what we really feel and who we really are, we've just saved it away? If we don't resurrect the unlimited,wide-open child and be true to ourselves the world will never change.

So Eddie and other magical beings are great hope for change and for being true to one's self.He has no fear, he's a dreamer with a childlike feeling, and a fighter for truth.

Live it Do it Be it (Eddie)
...in Life, just like on the screen or stage, because it IS a grand play.

You are the star
You are the lightman
You are the stage
You are the director
You are the audience
You wrote the script
And you are the theatre.

Let's play! Let's imagineer our own reality.

(preaching to the converted or what?!)
