Have you ever woken up in the middle of a really good
dream? Just at the most exciting bit, when something sensational is
about to happen? Its happened to me - tons of times. Then, one
day I think
supposing you could get back into your own dream
?
When I was in Cairo Museum in Egypt, our guide
Heva led us to the tomb relics of Tutankhamun. And
I looked upon
the face of the Boy King.
There stood his Pharaoh Throne with back of beaten
gold. It showed Tutankhamun sitting - his Queen anointing him with perfume.
On her foot one sandal, while he wears the other. I wonder
could
this be a sign of great affection between two people?
I love hieroglyphics. Mysterious symbols telling
secret things. I imagine
drawing all those shapes. Were they as hard to form as our alphabet?
Would it make a difference if you carved out your letters? What
if you engraved them into a soft thick surface?
To help Cy practice his writing, Aten shows him the Egyptian Letter
Learner. Pressing outlines deep into the wet sand allows Cy to form
his letters in an other way. A bit like having an extra Dimension
?
My books are pathways to other Dimensions.
I think
. I wonder
. I imagine
Thats how I write my stories.
