I was five years old. I was laying in bed ready to go to sleep. I had my parents come into my room and check under the bed and in the closet, making sure no one was there. I was afraid of the rug at night. It was a beautiful red, gold, black and brown Persian carpet. At night it came alive. I saw turtles which were merely patterns in the carpet in the light. As for the closet, I imagined it full of tribal people, lions, elephants, rhinoceros, and zebras. How they all fit in there with my clothes and toys was beyond me. At least I didn’t have to worry about monsters.
Postscript: Love your Patti Smith contribution. That sharing of heart keeps creativity alive. It took me to share a card I received after the death of my son (three years ago on December 9th). "Life is not separate from death. It only looks that way."--Native American Proverb (Blackfoot). In the movie, "Arrival" a brief story, Louise, our linguist relates centers around kangaroo. Connections abound.
Hi Richard, I am sorry to hear that you lost your son. Although he is gone from this Earthly life, he still exists and you will surely meet again. The native Americans got that right. Synchronicity - my next article is related to life after death. I am glad you enjoyed Ghost dance :-)
Catharine, Thank you fr your kind message.. It likely would be enjoyable to converse. My cell phone is 608-335-8455. I am free most evenings after 6PM CST. I intuit e could have some lively stories to exchange. Be well, Richard
This dream crystal transports me to the deeply moving movie, "Arrival," based on Ted Chiang's short story, "Story of Your Life." Lucid dreams are experiences which that are portals to nonlinear time and a qualitatively deeper expression of what Jung termed synchronicity. It is so dense that it cannot be condensed. As far as the expression, losing one's marbles is concerned, your lucid dream and the story you weave around its nucleus evokes associations to where our species is heading. It is a captivating memory you share. Thank you, Richard
This story has all the qualities of a highly engaging dream. The reader knows it is a dream, but the story holds one's attention until the very end, because the telling is so accurate and lucid!
