Possibly not the kind of fantasy others expect me to indulge in…those usually involve warriors, weapons, water, and your occasional monster or two. Sometimes a bit of romance/sex just to keep things interesting 😉
No, decidedly NOT suitable for YA. Which works for me.
But today, and tonight…actually for the majority of this entire week…my fantasies have been more decidedly domestic, a lot less fun, but terribly relevant just now. I am missing our old house, the neighborhood, my gardens and the landscaping I loved. I have discovered I cannot function when my nights never embrace the darkness; there is always some hideous street light or spot light denying the night and obstructing my view of the moon and stars. I miss nightly strolls in the dark, just gathering my thoughts, organizing this wild clutter of rampant imagination, and centering my soul.
Where, then, can we go, me and my small troop of offspring? The countryside may be well suited to this introverted earth mother, but my boys are more like David was…happier with sidewalks or biking/hiking trails, and civilization (at least parks) within reach.
Finding a compromise should be interesting. I’ll keep you posted.
Meanwhile, other more entertaining versions of fantasy (yes, the ‘other’ kind) are running rampant through my pages with the current focus remaining on dragons and eco-themed ships on both air and water.
Think they are any match for a flight of dragons?
This is way more fun than trying to imagine what kind of place we should call home next.
Yay! Fantasy.
