What a beautiful meditation on the power dreams wield on our lives.

I've been considering dreams much of late, this separate reality where our minds take us to for almost half of our lives where we search for and occasionally find the things we've lost in our waking world; the horrors, sorrows, and on those rare occasions, boundless joys. I dreamed once that I was watching a friend write a beautiful poem about heart break and jealously thinking, "I wish I had thought of that poem." When I awoke, I realized that I had, indeed, thought of that poem, and I quickly wrote it down.

Thank you for sharing your dream journey with us.

Beautiful piece! I also love your mom's happy energy. I can imagine her calling you to rise and shine and seize the day!

Flying dreams are the best, aren't they?. Strange and wonderful how we know deep in our core how it feels to fly, to crouch down and then leap up into the air...and soar.
