The story behind my blog name "The last Unicorn"

The Paint Box

by E V Rieu

'Cobalt and umber and ultramarine,

Ivory black and emerald green -

What shall I paint to give pleasure to you?'

'Paint for me somebody utterly new.'

'I have painted you tigers in crimson and white.'

'The colours were good and you painted alright.'

'I have painted the cook and a camel in blue

And a panther in purple.' 'You painted them true.

Now mix me a colour that nobody knows,

And paint me a country where nobody goes,

And put in it people a little like you,

Watching a unicorn drinking the dew.'

This was a poem i had studied as a young girl in my school. I still know the lines by- heart....the poem had fascinated me then...i too wanted to see the world in some new exciting colours ....and these could be the reasons that brought this poem so close to my heart...
It was through this poem, that i first learnt about Unicorns!! I think, my liking towards the poetry world began then.
It's wasn't surprising that the same "Unicorn" came to my mind when i thought of a unique blog name.

The Power is Yours...

The Unicorn was always fascinated by the Captain Planet shows that used to come in Cartoon network where the Captain Planet says- "The Power is Yours!!"
The Unicorn always believed it. There were powers that you have that you donot use, You as a Unicorn can change the world, but if you are in that stage where "you donot know that you are a Unicorn" then you still can change the world 'a little'. A little enough to spread the View that may be as small as the Dew.
So here is the Unicorn trying to collect the Dews to make the river...which she wants to flow...keep flowing with energy...

 Heal the World...
