I also think you make great stuff and I wanted my friends to know you too so i linked you.<BR/>BTW. I missed my childhood because of your post. I think it's sad that adults don't remember much from that time. We might be better if we did.pipayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04556256120014113244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9604161.post-1114548353559577882005-04-26T13:45:00.000-07:002005-04-26T13:45:00.000-07:00Thanks, anonymous!

That would explain why hatters stayed mad and sculptors have occasions of sanity.lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07410230007560550179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9604161.post-1114526617672998802005-04-26T07:43:00.000-07:002005-04-26T07:43:00.000-07:00Tea anyone?Tea anyone?Carl V.

I read it last night and had to read it again a couple of times today before commenting.<BR/><BR/>The magic of childhood is pretty amazing and the dark cloud over all that bliss is that we don't realize how amazing it is until we are older and it is gone...<BR/><BR/>The question posed, however, is: Is it really gone? I don't kid myself, that unbridled innocent ignorant passion cannot be reclaimed, but what about the magic?<BR/><BR/>I liked your comment about reading. To me reading is one of the most wonderful things about growing up. A child's imagination is limitless but reading provides the fuel to further the boundaries of that imagination, which can then be translated into art, music, writing or any other outlet for our imaginations. <BR/><BR/>There are many good books, but I find it so magical when you run across a book that just comes alive to you. Neverwhere and Stardust were such books for me. And Heinlein's Time Enough for Love, and...the list goes on, I'll stop! :) "Magical" books become a part of you that doesn't go away. I love that part of life, as a child and as an adult.<BR/><BR/>Art and music are the same way. Its no secret how magical I find your art...it thrills me in a very child-like way...makes my imagination soar. Sarah Brightman and, more recently Celtic Women, do the same thing for me musically.<BR/><BR/>Sorry this has gotten so long, I could really go on and on about this. That post got the mental wheels turning...thanks again!Carl V. Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15948764216438379394noreply@blogger.com
