'I believe that imagination is stronger than knowledge -- myth is more potent than history -- dreams are more powerful than facts -- hope always triumphs over experience -- laughter is the cure for grief -- love is stronger than death.' (Robert Fulghum)
'Imagination is the living power and prime agent of all human perception.' (Coleridge)
'All men dream: but not equally...the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act out their dream with open eyes, to make it possible.'
T.E. Lawrence
'Death is nothing, but to live defeated and ingloriously is to die daily.'
Napoleon Bonaparte
I currently write game guides that are published on IGN. I have written one Harvest Moon guide for BradyGames. I read the following: mythology, philosophy, history, historical novels, fantasy/science fiction, murder mysteries (no political thrillers, please!) and some political analysis. I am working on a book that deals with comparative mythology and symbolism and covers NEW ground (or rather recovers lost ground) if possible.
Children always participated in fertility festivals and weddings in ancient cultures. Wedding ceremonies included children as well. The 'ring bearer' and the 'flower girl' are vestiges of very old customs in weddings.
