Dreaming

I am not sure that I ever explained that I don't like being vulnerable. I don't like to feel unprotected from the view of others. At heart, I'm a defensive person. All that I do is to defend, deflect, dodge and swerve. At times, I will allow people to see me as I am.

I met a puppy who came scampering on by my path of life. This puppy was extremely charming, mild mannered, adorable and dangerous. He came to me injured and in need of help and healing. I offered my help and assistance.

I was afraid. I was afraid that I saw in him the same as I had once before with Fishy. I am still afraid... I see him saving me from myself.

I don't want him to do that for me... he doesn't see, he doesn't see...

The irony of all of this is, my life's' sketch is truly that of the book, The Last Unicorn. My life is currently that of the scene listed above. Mommy Fortuna is my evil self, the Unicorn is my true self and Smendrick, the Magician is that of the Puppy.

I will help him too... this scene is an example of how I would.

He doesn't fully understand this now, because I've told him he will save me, but he's not ready to truly know how it will be. This video is a good depiction of the end of my largest lesson, and assistance of my life... if I let him.

Unicorns are virtually immortal, unattached--things that humans are not.  Her quest turned her into a human in more ways than physically--which needed to happen. She wanted to run away with Prince Lir because she loved him, and Lir loved the Lady Amalthea as well, but knew it was his because he had become a hero for her, and that because he was a hero that he couldn't leave the unicorns to be prisoners of the Red Bull.  After she is turned back and chased onto the beach, he pleads with Schmendrick to do something, and is reminded that saving unicorns is a duty for heroes.  And so Lir ran out for the one he loved, sacrificing his own life to try and protect her.  It is her loss of Lir, her love for the fallen prince that drives the unicorn to fight back against the Red Bull.  It is that drive that sends the bull into the ocean and frees the other unicorns.  Afterwards, Lir wants to just run off, to follow after the unicorn to be with her in some aspect for the rest of his days because he can't bear to be without her, and it is Schmendrick that reminds him that he has duties to his people and his land, that he is now king and must repair what damage his father had wrought.

Her mission was more important than her love desire. She was willing to sacrifice beautiful creatures who were important to the world all because she changed when becoming human. She is a unicorn. Something far more special than a mere human. A human becoming a Unicorn is one thing but a Unicorn desiring to be human is wrong. She may have learned the value of humanity but she is far more beautiful purposed as a unicorn. She can't be human because she is a unicorn. Ruining that would be horrible. And she didn't care
