o Once upon a time monsters lived under the bed or in the dark closet in the corner. But as children grow up these imaginary creatures of the night are replaced by very real terrors. The Big Bad Wolf no longer is restricted to the forest but is now the serial killer who may be living next door. War, disease, famine, and death ride our nightmares with apocalyptic abandon. The realities of poverty and personal tragedies are the new demons haunting our dreams. Our culture projects its own collective cinematic nightmares on movie screens with visions of zombies and the end of the world.
The monsters of childhood were defeated with the light of growing up. The new monsters of our adult lives are all too real and not so easily dismissed. They don't come from some inner imagination or dark shadow in the hall, but from the real world around us. To defeat them will require more than simple courage. These mosaic monsters are born of problems too great for any single person to conquer. Overcoming these real new horrors will require we work together. Only through caring and enlightenment can we aspire to bring light to the darkness created by our darker selves.
