    Conversations with Calliope- Dancing with My Grandmother

    (My Grandmother)

    JOE: Good morning Calliope.
    CALLIOPE: Good morning Joe. How are you today?
    JOE: I woke up with a smile on my face.
    CALLIOPE: Where did it come from?
    JOE: I dreamed about my grandmother last night.
    CALLIOPE: Tell me about it.
    JOE: She died in 1966 and I was not able to go to her funeral. I lived at her house for the first three years of my life. In my dream, she was at a party in my current life. I danced with her creating joy in both of us.
    CALLIOPE: A nice memory.
    JOE: Also a fantasy. I don't remember ever dancing with her when she was alive.
    CALLIOPE: Fantasies are the foundation of art in my opinion.
    JOE: I share that opinion with you. Much of art is based on dark fantasies and memories as a way of resolving leftover conflicts.
    CALLIOPE: I can't argue with you there.
    JOE: I think pleasant fantasies and memories provide optimism to carry us through difficult times.
    CALLIOPE: No argument there either.
    JOE: I guess I'll take my fantasies and get on with the day. Talk with you tomorrow.
