Dear Journal:
The dream below is one I had after reading the first issue of Sundance. The last thing on my mind that evening was dreaming about the journal, but it must have triggered something in my mind. I waited so long to send it in because I didn't think it was worthy enough. Reading the second issue of Sundance changed my mind. I see a famous Indian artist and I want to get to know him better.

I am sort of embarrassed. What will people think seeing me dancing? But I enjoy it. (C.Z., Ephratat Pennsylvania) Dear Journal:

The floor is made of wood and there are chandeliers hanging from the ceilings. There are six other people in the room. Two of them are participating in activities with me. There are three puzzles on the floor: one is plain blue, one is plain yellow and the other is of mixed colors. I am given the blue puzzle. Music begins to fill the room. As I listen to the music, I discover that it captures the color Blue. I begin to move my body to capture the rhythm of the music and to express the emotion of the color Blue. People begin to 275
