SARKian Dreams Posted Jan-28-2005
I woke up this morning in the middle of an awesome dream. SARK (Susan Ariel Rainbow Kennedy) made a guest appearance within my unconscious mind to share a noteworthy message about celebrity hood.

I was attending one of SARK's playful workshops and found myself in close proximity with the succulent author at one point during the event. Feeling rather humbled, I was putting on an overly-compensating front and behaved as many star-struck fans would in the presence of their admired icons.

Though sincere in my efforts, I wasn't being myself, and SARK soon set me straight. She took me aside and expressed that although she appreciated my supportive fan-liness, she would rather get to know me on a personal level, as a friend. She went onto say that she had enough admirers in the world, and what she really needed were people who wanted to get to know her as Susan, not just SARK.

I immediately felt a sense of peace and love towards Susan, now that I understood how much alike we were. It didn't matter that she was a best-selling author and creativity icon. She was a person just like me, with the desire to connect with others on a real, personal level. Her celebrity was simply a veneer, which often became a barrier in her relationships. Would people still love her the same if she wasn't SARK, the best-selling author?

Yes. Yes I would.

You know, it must be really cool having Susan as a friend in real life. Can you imagine just picking up the phone and chatting with her anytime?

Riiiiing... riiii... (she always gets it on the second ring)

SARK: Hello?

Me: Hi, it's Chris

SARK: Hey, Chris! Whatcha been up to today?

Me: Well, I got new window treatments installed today. You should see them! They're textured earth tone vertical blinds and make our dining room look smashing!

SARK: Earth tones, really? I like the whimsical watercolored look myself, but hey, different strokes for different folks! I betcha they're love*ly!

Me: Yeah, what would you ever do without your pretty paints? I bet Jupiter's even taken them up just to prove Why Cat's Paint!

You still coming over tomorrow night for dinner?

SARK: Oh yeah! I can't wait to try your vegetable lasagna. And I'm just dying to see the progress you've made on your bathroom wall stenciling. And before I forget, I have an idea for a new product, and I'd like to get your input on it. Can I bring some sketches by?

Me: Oh sure, you know I love to see what you're up to — bring them on over! Listen, I'll see you around seven then, okay?

SARK: Sure thing. See ya then!

Me: Okay, buh bye!
