DREAMING!
in the non dream kind of way... speaking of dreams:
I had someof the most amazing dreams last night. For some reason, I was in French Polynesia at the snap of a finger, on a beach witnessing a sight that was so vivid of the face of someone who I haven't seen in a long time. He hadn't taken a shower in a long time but he still somehow didn't smell and looked like he belonged in a western.
Somehow from there, I was in near Italy in a car driving north. This is a country I've wanted to see since I began my studies in Italian back in 2001. When I realized I was near, it brought me to tears. I think I had missed my flight and had to drive *drive* all the way to Russia with a family that I did not know. I was excited for the .journey. I had made friends with this little kid, about 9 or so. He was my buddy throughout most of my trip. The best part of the dream is way beyond my ability to put into words that would do it justice-we were driving through little towns that I had always dreamed of seeing. Each building was so detailed...AHH!
Next I knew, I was in a bus in the drivers seat heading for a waterfall-which was actually pretty rad. Falling over it, I next was sailing up a river (yes, up) to where I passed the bases of many other waterfalls. Looking up to the top of them was a long way. I felt the mist and power of the water like I did when I stood at the bottom of the gush of Niagara Falls in 1986.
Anyway, there is more..but my point is that what keeps me going is that I love to dream big. And having people in my life that support me and believe in my ability is pretty cool too. All I have to do is picture the best people in my life at the snap of a thought, and there I am--inspired all over again.
