Jelly Queen Dream
Once upon a time (back when I was a teenager),
I had an unforgettable dream that became the inspiration for this collection.
Everything in the dream looked incredibly
beautiful, but the feeling of the dream was of a physical freedom that in reality we don't have.
Can we swim in the air around us? In my dream I did,
and it was in my home, which was filled with
sparkly clear water.
As I swam through the rooms, up and down the stairways, at every turn - near the couch, the TV, the rocking chair, there was some glimmering creature of the sea that greeted me. They seemed to be saying, "Hello, come swim with me!"
That dream combined with the vast amount of time I spent sunning and swimming at the beaches on Long Island, New York (Robert Moses, Jones Beach, Shelter Island)
Almost every day in summer I was at a beach on a sandy towel, swatting sand flies, listening to the seagulls and my transistor radio, eating salty french fries from the snack concession, and swimming in the chilly ocean water, tossed with the waves and seaweed.
I cannot recommend that pastime enough!
Come along and swim with me!
