This is it: I have fallen down the rabbit hole of my own imagination akin to taking time out in Tir Na Nog.  A dangerous place to find oneself, for these are magic spaces in which a person can be enchanted and never wish to return to reality.
I FEEL I am safe as I am able to dip in and out of the dream like a bird.The story and exploration of the entity or non entity 'Esus" is a never ending story. A faery tale. This is art in motion and it has nothing to do with selling objects or ideas or even making pretty pictures that someone will want to buy and put on their wall. True Art is life itself which cant be bought or sold and a true artist is one who is present to receive the gift. I am a dream catcher but I do not own the dreams. It is time for us all to become artists/dream catchers and I am just one of the few, who is following the rabbit hole of my own heart and shouting back "come on people this is the way to go! ain't scary unless you make it so!"
