as it is...

The dream shows 

the inner truth and reality 

of the patient as it really is: 

not as I conjecture it to be, 

and not as he would like it to be, 

but as it is.

the thing about dreamin'....

"When I want you in my arms
When I want you and all your charms
Whenever I want you, all I have to do is
Dreeeeeeeeam"

computer crash...

ok, so the planets are spinning swirling all out of kilter - the moon isn't hanging properly - i've angered the gods and know not how - it's raining - it's not raining - it's cold - and/or all of the above or none of the above - the result is the same - my desktop computer ate a trojan yesterday and/or was eaten by one - again, result the same - and so, i sit and pick and peck on my laptop for which i am ill prepared mentally or otherwise - all of which leads me to let you know my little posts will be hard to come by until my bigboy is up and at it again - my thoughts just literally seem to coagulate into blobs and not blogs on this kid sized keyboard - please be patient - i'll be in and out checking your places as i can - till then, boys and girls - peace and love - jenean

throw your dreams...

Throw your dreams 

into space like a kite, 

and you do not know

what it will bring back, 

a new life, a new friend, 

a new love, a new country.

the necessity...

Dreams are necessary to life.

seeking stillness...

hmmmm...i've been at my computer now for quite a while and remain unable to find the thoughts or words for posting - for posting anything at all - my thoughts the past few days seem to be inundated with "movement and chaos" [as my travel journal post refers to yesterday] - and sadness -

and, needing desparately right now to find a state of "stillness" within, with which to counter the chaos,  i think i have to be away for just a day or two - so, i'm headed to that inner island you see above -

in the meantime, i know you'll save a place for me in your "happy place" -

later, friends -

scenes from a night's dream...

Little Nemo rubbed his eyes and got out of bed,
trying hard to piece together a broken dream.
His visions lifelike and full of imagination
it's strange to think they came from such a tiny head.

Dragons breathing fire, but friendly.
Mushrooms tall as houses.
Giant Nymphs and goblins playing,
scenes from a night's dream, poor Little Nemo!

Eating all kinds of food so close to bedtime
they always made him have these nightmares, it seemed.

a dream in my eyes...

i wake up in the morning

with a dream in my eyes

echo...

Come to me in the silence of the night;
Come in the speaking silence of a dream;
Come with soft rounded cheeks and eyes as bright
As sunlight on a stream;
Come back in tears,
O memory, hope and love of finished years.

O dream how sweet, too sweet, too bitter-sweet,
Whose wakening should have been in Paradise,
Where souls brim-full of love abide and meet;
Where thirsting longing eyes
Watch the slow door
That opening, letting in, lets out no more.

Yet come to me in dreams, that I may live
My very life again though cold in death;
Come back to me in dreams, that I may give
Pulse for pulse, breath for breath:
Speak low, lean low,
As long ago, my love, how long ago.

the rain falls...

Everytime you see a tree
or dream a cloud,
there is that in you of the tree
there is that in you of the cloud.

The saguaro dreams in drought and endures.
The cloud dreams our woe 
--sneezes, cries.
The rain falls.

the colour of dreams...

I've dreamt in my life 

dreams that have stayed 

with me ever after, and 

changed my ideas; 

they've gone through 

and through me, 

like wine through water, 

and altered

the colour of my mind.

the dreamer...

a dreamer is one who can only find his way by moonlight -

and his punishment is that he sees the dawn before 

the rest of the world -

the shadow dreams...

men are the dreams of a shadow

the nature of dreams...

to me dreams 

are part of  

nature,

which harbors 

no intention 

to deceive

but

expresses 

something 

as 

best it can
