a dreamer's wisdom - johann wolfgang von goethe

Dream no small dreams for they have no power to move
the hearts of men.

- Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Corinne Reid's illustrations are truly amazing.  And a wonderful
thing is that she is inspired by writers' projects as writers can be
inspired by her projects; her illustration Ponies is inspired by Kij
Johnson's short story of the same name.   Have a look and begin
to dream up why buffalo chase wolves, dragons makes sly deals
with frogs, and an empress travels the jungle at night to collect
glow flies.

 I believe in everything until it's disproved. So I believe in fairies,
the myths, dragons. It all exists, even if it's in your mind. Who's to
say that dreams and nightmares aren't as real as the here and now?
- John Lennon

Tor.com is a great place to read some short fiction.  Here is an excellent
story by Kij Johnson called Ponies.  It's been nominated for best short
story in the World Fantasy Awards.  I recommend a look.
