Beautifully writte...Hi, thank you for sharing this. Beautifully written by the way!<br />I am astounded by how much your piece struck a chord with me. I too was fascinated by Alice in wonderland a a child, and through the Looking glass too, almost to obsession. But I never made this connection. I just knew that as a child it was often easier to bury myself in the fantasy world of books. I only realise now (40 years on) that it was my way of coping with the stress of my 'real' world.<br />Teachers often critiscised me for being in-attentive and being in my own 'dreamworld'. They had no idea I was just 'surviving'.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27400573.post-78576591989352783662009-11-02T14:14:54.519-08:002009-11-02T14:14:54.519-08:00I miss talking to you.

I always remind myself that Alice always wakes herself up to find that there is evidence that the fantasy world is indeed real. Learning to tap into that and control has had a profound effect on how I continue to see the world.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15102905896948374076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27400573.post-45103407523544931672009-10-10T23:55:22.290-07:002009-10-10T23:55:22.290-07:00Sure!
