Dedication:
For my four legged friends who mean more to me than most people. My life has been saner and kinder because you were in it.
For my brothers Michael, Mark, Christopher and Charlie and of course, you, Chris.
O to be a dragon,
a symbol of the power of Heaven-of silkworm
size or immense; at times invisible.
Felicitous phenomenon!
O To Be a Dragon, Marianne Moore
Lift up the heart of a true friend by writing his name on the wings of a dragon.
Chinese Proverb
Never laugh at LIVE dragons.
J.R.R. Tolkien
Go and catch a falling Star;
And bind it with a swimmer’s tears.
The Star that grows on sinking sands
The Star that swims beneath the years.
Catch the one that floats afar,
And bind it with the Star that fears
To dance beneath the Seven Lands.
The Riddle of the Seven Stars.
