Talking about death and dreams, I drempt I was shot point blank in the head by my dad "for my own good". Do you think it was weird that the next time I went to visit him I locked my bedroom door at night?

My bestfriend used to have dreams where we had had a fight and she would be pissed off at me the whole next day, even though nothing bad had happened between us in real life dreams really are real to the dreamer, aren't they?

feelings from dreams come to stay ... not weird at all

sometimes dreams more real than we ever expected or wished they were.

Dreaming a Dream Mantra....


Don't cry because sadness lays too long

Don't worry because worries never last

Don't be angry because I will never win

Don't fear because I can not fail

Don't hate because love must get in


Now sleep because tomorrow's on it's way

Now sleep because tomorrow's another day

I LOVE THIS !

Godfather.

I love that you love that!

thank you Godfather

With all the holiday preparations, I lay down, weary for a nap.
I reach to hold my Maddie, snuzzle her warm against my chest.
Lucy she is curled up in the nook of my bended knees.

The windchimes lull me off to sleep, as a holiday song plays soft.
For a moment as I leave to dream, together they sound as one.

My dream takes me back to the tiny room, the tiny room wth you.
Sleet falls outside the window, no, that is not snow, I know.
I agree with you, Mama. I always do, you know.

You lay upon the bed, sleep your only escape,
even in my dream I know and somehow can relate.
You have long since let it go, this world you no longer want,
just to be there in your dream, the need is all you have.

Hushed we speak together so as not to disturb Mama's rest,
our sadden eyes upon her.

I meet your eyes, I hold them, your green eyes of our lifetime,
the window to our soul and I but a twinkle of yours.

A rush of love and strength pours through me

'Daddy you are here! You are here to wait with me!
You look just as I remember, jolly, bright and good.
If ever there was a perfect Santa, Daddy it was you!

You are here to be with Mama, make her smile and laugh again.
Fill her dreams with hope and love,
then do the same for me'

I hear your reply, as I waken to remember,
I speak your words out loud ...

"we are here together where time does not exist
we are but a dream away and everything you wish"



Merry Christmas Mom and Dad!

thank you for always being there ... just a dream away

Do you ever try to interpret your dreams, or do you just accept them as nonsense?

I had a dream last night that left me feeling like it was meant to be interpreted in my waking life. In my dream there was a person that I found very intriguing, and wanted to be around,and learn more about them. Everyone around me also seemed to find this person intriguing, but I'm pretty sure this person kept trying to poison me by spiking my drink, and got really annoyed when I didn't drink it. They also claimed to be great at science, studying to be a doctor, and promoted themselves as someone who was nicer than the nicest person you ever met. Deep down I didn't trust a word they were saying and I could see I was being deceived, but on the surface I was really enjoying their company and asking them heaps of questions to try learn more about them. I could see that they were lying by big-noting themselves, but I studied science at uni, so I thought I might trip them up with some of their answers. The answers were too vague to trip them up, but I was just so interested in this person, it was bazaar, especially when I could tell how bad they were (a pathological liar who was trying to kill me), but I felt that I could avoid that and enjoy their company.

Any theories on what this one might mean?

sounds like here

another day in the club

seriously
perhaps it was more of a premonition dream ...
see where your feelings go in the coming days
perhaps a rush of deja vu will send you reeling and wanting more
and maybe not ...
more

feels like fear

Crossing the bridge was never so difficult.

This ladder, cumbersome, why must I carry it?

I can not remember.

The banks below covered in a thick lush brush,
a green never seen before.

Water reflecting light without color, without depth,
rushing without sound, no fragrance in the air.

This ladder, so heavy, I must drag it now.
I am weary.

Moving backwards, dragging the ladder over the bridge,

clumsily...

I fall over the edge...

ladder and all.

Laying in the greenery
peering up at the bridge
I wonder...

how?
how will I ever get back up there?

ah yes the ladder

good thing ...

I have a ladder...



This is life.

Forced abortion and subsequent sterilization
the law of the land...

The young woman runs through the wildflowers
hits the ground and disappears in fragrant blossoms
at the sounds overhead.

She rolls over and places her palms
on her growing stomach...
"it's ok baby" she whispers,
it is only baby that can hear
for the sound of the low flying planes.

Her eyes raise to see the cloudless sky above
she looks past this to the eyes of God,
the sun, the warmth, the light,
"take us now please, together...
together"

the burning gunfire from above
rips through her chest and his,
sprinkling broken wildflowers
over their body, their body taken together.

the wide road ahead covered in deep ice covered snow
rutted by millions before me

I glided along
the sun shone bright without heat
no melting the frigid

I turned the corner to find a dog lying in the road
two dogs

frantic to know the story in that flash of that second
I came closer

the pitiful sound of whimpering with each breath
stopped me short

one dog lay frozen
lay dead
the other crying by it's side

moving without purpose without thought
moving on
I turned to look back

that dog's face I will never forget

now a picture left
one of many
I wish I could forget

startled from that place I lay listening to my two
hoping I do not see his face here
where I am safe where we are safe

why are some fortunate and why are some not

and why must the pictures stay

and why

why are they found here after I leave them there

and why must the pictures stay

and why

why are they found here after I leave them there

just like every person
that lives directly on the opposite side of the globe
that starve to death because they were born there
and I don't because I was born here

Its like yesterday but almost two decades now, adrenaline filled memory keeps it new. The shocking news of my father was breaking hearts all over the place. He was loved, what more tells of a good life lived. I felt so small like a helpless little kid again. I guess we never really grow up till we live without our parents. Until we have to say goodbye.The days that followed are a daze. My then small kids and my wife, we all flew North.
Family gatherings had too many tears and some sad laughter. Grandchildren's faces buried in loving arms of dozens of family members. My sister and my mother and wife, grief seen in every strained, every drained movement they made. My father could always break the ladies hearts. Handsome, nicknamed Cap from his Airforce years, full head of white hair, funny as hell with always a joke. He'd give you the shirt off his back.He cared and let everyone know that, especially the ladies in his life.
Unbelievably in the days leading up to the shocking news they were already lived in a dream. Not to be a blessing but a guilty horror leaving behind years of what ifs. If only I had listened, if only we had made the call but it was only a dream.This tormented my wife's heart through the days of goodbyes. The pictures flashed and their meaning was now clear and brutal. All that was in a dream some forty eight hours previous was to be. The whys and the hows followed us, haunted her for years. The dreams continue still but now she has made sense. My brave lady has found peace in God, the answers to the hows and whys she found in his loving presence rejuvenating her and guiding her to a purpose in life.
When I watch her dream and I often do I wonder what will be, so yes, love of my life, I will dream
a little dream beside you forever and then some.

[Godfather.]

several days and life has changed
no I'm looking straight ahead
into moments that live inside your eyes
moments that make me come alive.

the radieo sings a lulaby
a song that echos in my mind
a rocky mountian way
that carries thru the night.


Godfather.
