Once upon a time, there was no time

Once upon a time there was no time. The world had stopped spinning wildly out of control and there I sat right in the middle of heaven. My life was filled with the sounds of birds singing, the fragrance of flowers and the warmth of the sun on my face. Who would have thought the dirty steel mill town where I live could be Eden. I was living in the fantasy land of milk and honey.

That was before Les got sick. But then, I have always been a dreamer. So I rewrote the story. My personal favorite version goes something like this:

Once upon a time there was a beautiful Fairy Princess. Princess Louise fell in love with Prince Charming Les. Her wonderful prince became very sick and everyone was sure he would die. But Princess Louise knew there was no greater power than love. She showered him with healing loving attention. And as all good fairy tales go, her love made him well again. The two spent the rest of their lives traveling and devoting themselves to each other.

OK, so it might be a little far fetched but it is my dream so I can write it anyway I like. The page that goes along with this has a old father clock face and a blue bird of happiness painted on it. The father clock face represents time standing still and of course the blue bird represents my happiness when I was with Les. Another picture I did that goes along this line is of a woman (me) sleeping. She is dreaming of all the fabulous things she will be doing.
