The Dreamweavers...

...reconciling the ill-matched threads of life, faith, and art.

What a writing friend and I are obsessing over... 

The other day I made a "Midena" destop wallpaper (I'm getting overly obsessive (and using this word too much), I know) and showed it to a friend. That started us off and before you know it, we were searching to find pictures that look like something out of our stories. It's really fun, and you'll be surprised what you find (I found Mair's farm, a cave Siarl used to sit in by the ocean, and much more (my friend found her character's home (castle), a pathway she rode on, and her garden)). I hightly recomended it, and please share if you find anything! ;)

Dreamweavers:

Had I the heavens' embroidered cloths,
Enwrought with golden and silver light,
The blue and dim and dark cloths
Of night and light and the half-light,
I would spread the cloths under your feet:
But I, being poor, have only dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly, you tread on dreams.
--William Butler Yeats

"She who reconciles the ill-matched threads of her life, and weaves them gratefully into a single cloth - it's she who drives the loudmouths from the hall and clears it for a different celebration where the one guest is You."
- Rainer Maria Rilke

"We are the music-makers and we are the
dreamers of dreams" --O'Shaughnessy
