Songfish a Fable of Dreams is an enchanting short story teaching us some important life lessons regarding the pursuit and fulfillment of dreams. With music very much the vehicle, the protagonist, the Dreamfisher, is propelled through life by a series of dreams. His story is reflective of an older and simpler time, and helps to paint a picture of the value of family and community. From a more esoteric perspective, the Dreamfisher sees the opportunity of helping to fulfill the dreams of others as investing in his own future. While simple in form and language, the value of its lessons are ever-unfolding.
In the realm of performing arts, Songfish also provides a valuable distinction between 'the songwriter' and 'the performing artist'. In these modern times with music and art being shared and altered at astonishing rates, Songfish helps provide some core values to, not only build an artistic career upon, but to live life to the fullest. It also can help create acceptance for those on a different life path, one that may bring them more in a material way. Songfish helps us in recognizing the role each of us plays in life, in others dreams and in the unfolding beauty around us.
