My Story Portal

 

 

The Story Portal

 

Many years ago, while experimenting with hypnosis (hey, it was the 70s – everybody was doing it), I was shown a door to a secret garden within my own psyche… beyond the mysterious garden door were all the stories I’d ever write and all the characters who would bring them to life for me and my readers.

 

My characters-to-be were garbed in costumes from many centuries and time slots and they all seemed happy to see me!  I felt relieved and energized by this vision – I wasn’t alone in my solitary storytelling – all these amazing personalities were waiting for me to tell their tales.  I wondered then (as I do now!) if I had somehow glimpsed a separate dimension where all the stories ever written live alongside us and sometimes grant us a peek into their magical world.

 

My Stories Were Waiting For Me!  What a relief to know that!!

 

Portal Pic

 

Today, I came across this lovely picture that ‘s a dead-ringer for my Portal.  It’s so close to what I saw in that long ago vision, that it has opened the door to this sweet memory I’m sharing with you.

 

I can’t help but wonder which of my characters who are waiting for me in the garden will wander through this portal now to conduct me into the next story I’m supposed to tell.

 

I can’t wait to find out!
