A Dream and A Hug

Last night I had a dream. (Not surprising if you know me) In this dream there were lots of things going on, it was a busy dream. Of all the things that were going on I only have a vague idea of what was happening. I was meeting someone in this place. I was nervous to see them, it'd been a while and I really liked them. I was bombarded by dogs as I entered. There was a demonstration with knives, simply cutting meat. Then instead of meat, it was a human, and a human skull being hacked. All these things were going on, but they aren't what stood out. They're still not something that stands out. What really stood out was a hug.



This simple embrace between the two of us. It felt like love and coming home. Like peace and happiness. I can still feel this lingering effect of that hug, even though it was only in a dream. It feels like a reminder of what's to come. I know who I saw in my dream... and maybe that's the person I'm supposed to be hugging like that in the real world. I don't know yet, but I sure wouldn't mind finding out! And if it's the person I saw, well I don't think I'd mind much if at all. ;)

Always Growing 11/28/2010


I've watched this boy grow for the past 14 years and it amazes me every day to see how he's changed. I got the honor of helping him get ready for his first high school dance. I also got to wait in the car to have an opportunity to talk to the principal to ensure that the student who had threatened him was being dealt with away from the dance. It was a great night only made better by him telling me that I was more like his mom than his mother was. It made me smile
