I am Laura, Elfgirl, Denwen, Aine and a world of others, given the time.
Who likes herself (sometimes), her husband (all of the time), her kids, her family, Nine Inch Nails and Enya, Cross Stitch and body art, black and white and many colors in between.
I am searching for a quiet place to be me and be happy. Somewhere like Galway -- misty in the early spring morning.
I understand the angels of madness.
I hear my childrens' giggles and they make me smile, my husband's jokes and the admonition, "They only get worse....", the call of the world that I try to hide from too often.
I dream about tomorrow, and yesterday.
I want everything, in its time.
I wonder about the doorway in between worlds and whether they envy us as much as we envy them.
I believe in fairies and God, that life is not fair and shouldn't be, and a million other things that will change every time you ask.
I worry that my children will grow up like me, and that they won't.
I pretend to fit in.
I touch someone, somewhere every day -- hopefully.
I am.
