NIGHT FLIGHT

Dreamed 1985? by Catherine, as told to Chris Wayan.

This is a tribute to my late friend Catherine. She dreamed she was a flying mare with golden hooves--a problem, since everyone was after them, and she was, well, rather attached to them.

I'd had almost identical dreams, so I painted a sort of hybrid image of our flights in the dark, when the gold-prospectors can't see... (the border, though it's hard to tell in this scan, is gold)

A magic mare with gold hooves flies over hills in the evening.

It turned out her dream was prophetic, in a way. A while after she told it to me, she was crippled. She could no longer dance, or run, or play sports, or, most important for her, fly on her beloved horses.

She killed herself.

As the dream had warned, she'd lost her magic hooves. And they meant that much.
