Do you remember how the children tell when their dragons left? Why did the children have the dragons? Why did they sorrow at the loss? What was their value? , Dragons, as part of the world ot serpents, are symbols or metaphors of power. Much of the Western world (ie: non-oriental) sees the serpent ser-pent or dragon as a symbol of evil. However, the larger populations of the world view the dragon as a positive posi-tive power one that works for and helps people. Most Eastern and older old-er cultures (ie: Oriental, Maya, etc.) accept these metaphors of higher powers and their interaction with humans. Children give animals and such things as dragons a variety of human hu-man characteristics. They can talk and dress and walk upright in addition addi-tion to having their other powers. This protects the young from the harsh realities of life until they have developed enough understanding to cope with life. These imaginary friends provide company, mental stimulation and protection from an unfamiliar and unkind world. The dragon allows the child to be safe.

When children have the power to be a child, they can look the dragon in the eye and have no fear. They can also look through the dragon's eyes at the non-child world and feel safe in being a child. However, if children don't feci safe, loved capable of solving their problems, free to make choices and have fun, in other words, have their Puffs and Elliotts, they will deal with the dragons of the Western world during their adolescence and adult life. The western dragon is the one that hoards and controls and is impotent except in the abusing of others. Those are the dragons of inner in-ner doubt, anger, frustration and fear. And we avoid looking into the eyes of those dragons. It is those that we run from with our over-indulgent behavior; our obsessive and compulsive behavior. It is the dragons drag-ons of of ill-fulfilled childhood that haunt us and that we must face before be-fore full health of adulthood will arrive. ar-rive. And what's worse is that our adult dragons are passed on to the next generation in their most atrocious atro-cious form. Parents, allow your children to have their dragons while their dragons drag-ons are friendly. Parents, look into your own dragon's drag-on's eyes until your dragons become be-come friendly. and Michelle Morrill and family during a belated Christmas party.
