I had a beautiful wonderful post written and then with a click I lost it and am unable to find it again. My heart is broken and I don't have the heart to rewrite it knowing it will not be as perfect as the first. So I will say Peony in Love is a wonderful book by Lisa See it is a book about love and how unending it is and the efforts that are gone to to make it last. I will include the quote I finnished the post with and encourage everyone to read this wonderful book that also covers much of aincent Chinese culture and tradition. It covers how one play caused many young girls try to claim thier own futures and fell into "lovesickness" they stopped eating and die hoping that like in the play The Peony Pavillion their love will bring them back to life and they will lead a happy and full life.
"Mengmei changed his name because of a dream. Liniang fell sick because of her dream. Each had a passion. Each had a dream. They both treated their dreams are real. A ghost is merely a dream and a dream is nothing but a ghost."
And what could be more true?
Always,
