under the table and dreaming

Those who are not familiar with the Dave Matthews Band and their song "Ants Marching" might not be familiar with the new title of this blog.

"...his concerns, he forgets them
and remembers being small,
playing under the table and dreaming."

Although I had an..unusual childhood, I can definitely remember times when I played under our old wooden dining table and dreamt. Looking back, I realize that it didn't really matter what I dreamt of. What mattered was that I was able to dream freely.

Had I known what terribly complicated things the world had in store for me back then, things that made you put away your dreams in a small corner of your life, I would have stayed under that table, even for just a little while longer.
