I was more than a little bit intimidated. I was feeling fear the closer we got to one another. Yet I wanted to know him, and I wanted to get close. He was gorgeous and proud, sleek and strong.

Imagination Is More Important Than…
Everything you can imagine is real. - Pablo Picasso When I was a little girl walking home from school, I used to play a game with the Universe.

A Little Fish Story
It was just a five-dollar fish in a cup. And so I did not expect him to speak to me in my heart. I really didn’t expect much from him at all.
