Memories become close companions, slowly appearing into a hazy past. It is an exquisite moment where all dreams become beautiful possibilities. Seven young children hold a cut-out paper doll. Their ankles and wrists are tied together with colored ribbons. We are reminded that, regardless of our individual differences, we are bound together by a common humanity.
Closer inspection reveals a crying boy an the far left.
His wrist ribbon has dropped off and he is momentarily disconnected from his peers. Our imagination assures us that the blond girl will soon come to his assistance, he will be reunited and everything will be okay. In this time of quiet solitude, in the mysterious place of the mind, distant memories softly mingle with dreams of a beautiful reality. The young lady slowly awakens. It's that very private time somewhere between vague remembrances and the day's coming reality.
