"Only those who truly love and who are truly strong can sustain their lives as a dream. You dwell in your own enchantment. Life throws stones at you, but your love and your dream change those stones into the flowers of discovery. Even if you lose, or are defeated by things, your triumph will always be exemplary. And if no one knows it, then there are places that do. People like you enrich the dreams of the worlds, and it is dreams that create history. People like you are unknowing transformers of things, protected by your own fairy tale, by love." ~Ben Okri
Who cannot be enchanted by those magnificent words and the spellbinding painting (which I embellished, perhaps to its detriment, with sparkles and a butterfly to enhance the magic of the scene)? Only those whose hearts and minds are closed or dead. And I feel pity for them.

What beautiful words... both in the qoute and those from the heart. So easy to close one's heart. Hard to reopen, yet worth it in the end. Enchanting is just how I would describe this graphic ~ thanks for sharing... Michelle
I feel pity for them too. Beautiful words and the picture is enchanting.
