I love my creative life and the continuing stream of stories and images that spring out of my imagination. This week my newest creative endeavor has released: Magic Carpet Night. This story started about 30 years ago when my first child was born. I've been shaping and reshaping it for a long time. I always hated that bedtime is portrayed as a bad thing in books, like somehow if you crawl under the covers and close your eyes you will miss something important or get eaten by a pretend monster.
Magic Carpet Night is a book about my vision of entering the portal of dreams. I close my eyes and leap and that lead leads to the wildest places imaginable. I wanted a story that showed that bedtime wasn't something to avoid but something to cherish. For me, I have rarely encountered dragons when I sleep, but mostly I encounter fantastical scenes, full of mysterious questions. There is a sense of safety in this world of dreams. Of course, magic is a given, and the best kind of magic, the kind that springs from within me.
My place in the universe is sure when I enter the door to dreams. Magic Carpet Night is a chance to snuggle up and enter into the place where we each spend 1/3 of our lives. Our dreams are one of the biggest gifts we will ever receive. This will book will open conversations on why bedtime is such a good thing. Dreams don't necessarily make sense. They don't always have a purpose. For me dreams, flood me with feelings of wonder. The meaning of dreams is so often beyond words. What dreams may come? Sleep, so you have the chance to dream.
I hope you will get a sense that my little book is the tip of the iceberg of the mysteries beyond our waking hours. Here is the link to the Kindle version for $2.99: https://amzn.to/2CP2oqL
