peter pan inspired

I knew a girl who read her best friend's copy of the Peter Pan novel.

She was in high school, and sleeping over.

Pan, who and what art though?' he cried huskily.
I'm youth, I'm joy,' Peter answered at a venture, 'I'm a little bird that has broken out of the egg."
Here's the photo of the Rodarte outfit. It started the inspiration, for this post.

One year, as an adult, she dressed as Peter Pan, when she worked with children.

You know that place between sleep and awake, the place where you can still remember dreaming? That's where I'll always love you, Peter Pan. That's where I'll be waiting.

"The reason birds can fly and we can't is simply because they have perfect faith, for to have faith is to have wings."

She always wanted her own copy of the book.

Do you know," Peter asked, "why swallows build in the eaves of houses? It is to listen to the stories."

  3. hi. clicked over for your awesome donut painting... and then kind of fell into your blog... and then clicked follow... and then scrolled back through like... a few months of your life... :)
    still think this might be my favorite post.
    i love peter pan. i love that barrie's prose is so dense and mature, and yet, he wrote it expecting children to understand. (which they do, of course) so different from what we see today.
    great stuff here, and i'm looking forward to more.
