Enchanted Conversation
presents the
February 2019 Issue:
HEART'S DESIRE
Love is an eternal, beautiful, intangible thing that we try to understand through stories. As we attempt to define it, through the fairy tales, folktales, and myths passed down through the generations, we come to know that it is something that takes many forms. Love can be creative, inspiring, self-sacrificing, and transformative, but it can also cause jealousy, heartbreak, and destruction. It is this duality that makes love so exquisite. It walks the fine line of joy and sorrow, and the quest for humans to find their “heart’s desire” is one that will never end.
In this issue, ten authors create unique tales that explore love in its different forms:
How can love transcend two who can never be together?

I will marry the one
who brings me a true gift,
one that is different from all others...
So, I’m walking through the forest,
sticking to the path when I hear a voice...

Twice through the loop,
out goes the thread,
once down the needle,
one piece of bread…

I’m supposed to spin straw into gold.
Suggestions are welcome…

She had eyes the color of the river,
the color of the lakes,
the color of the sea...

And finally,
I want to thank everyone who reads Enchanted Conversation by sharing my favorite piece of inspirational "love music" - Claire de Lune by Claude Debussy. I hope it inspires you as well.
So, thank you, one and all. Your support means everything.

Looks like a great issue!
Thanks so much, Kelly. All the authors captured an interesting aspect of "love."
Thanks for another wonderful issue. I know how much work these must be. "What the Water Takes" is probably my favorite, but they're all lovely.
