I'm uneasy because despite my worst fears and against all hope, I know it is only a dream and it will not last.
samantha morton's character in code 46 asks, if we were aware of the consequences of all our actions we would never take the first step.
I wonder now, as I ask myself, were I to know in advance how it was going to end, would I still go through with it. It is a thought best enjoyed as a question, no answer could ever do.

I had a dream last night.. Among other things, I was returning home, and home was 3061 23rd street, except that it was no longer on a corner, and it wasn't 3061, it was number 8. I was hoping that she'd be there, but i didn't know if she would-
-thud!- the remote drops to the carpeted
floor, dad has fallen asleep in front of the
television again.
-she would be home. I was half expecting noone to be home, half hoping that she would be home, waiting for me. Cautiously I approached, looking, finding the comfort of a yellow light on inside, sign that there is someone home. She's home! slowly I unlock the front door, which is suspiciously locking a transparent wall that leads me to a patio that resembles my childhood homes in the DR (all three, club rotario, calle 15, and calle D), then I see my mom, smiling, welcoming me, while i slowly, cautiously walk in, to discover her there, her back turned to me, and I think a smile betrays her. This is a good feeling, she's home, yet I'm not entirely sure why I'm still feeling uneasy.
And then I awaken.

Creativity And Skill

i had a dream last night- different things, some of which I remember, some I don't.
i remember walking along a path between fields of sugar cane. soon the path came to a fork, i chose to go to the right, even as it was darker and more full of trees and branches, less clear. thru that path i came to find a place near a stream of water, a rocky brook, from which a great square block of stone rose, in the center of the ankle-high stream. this stone was flat and roughly polished, obviously artificial, like a monument. It had a rotating face on which words and symbols were inscribed; it was like a scrolling display made of stone, with water streaming on its surface.
the words read something like, "The children of the Age of Aquarius... Of the one Never Found".
I know there was more in the dream before that which I've described, but I cannot remember it..

I'm watching Wayne Dyer speak on Inspiration, on WLIW 21, a PBS station in New York (Long Island). He has many thoughts in which I have found value.
Perhaps I will write some of my thoughts here.
I saw his previous program on the power of intention, and found value in it also. This program was also on yesterday, and was followed by another presentation by the author of "Rich Dad, Poor Dad", speaking about financial education. I also found some value in that, changed some of my thinking about finances and strengthened some concepts. Like financial education, investing, assets and liabilities, income, and OPM (other people's money). Very interesting.

btw, it's very likely that these recent entries, and henceforth, all entries will probably be entered thru the Google Blogger Widget. Is it possible they have one for PC/Win? Like i use my PC, anyway. Yahoo! Central or whatever it's called. I have it, but often shut it down for performance reasons.
Which reminds me, I have to take steps to make sure my PC is performing better, because it is simply agony trying to use it. Thankfully, I don't have to use PC (piece of crap) in my home or personally. Strictly (and only) business.

using skype, finally!
i'm all about skype. finally i have someone to use it with on a consistent basis, and i'm loving it.
it's an interesting social practice, aside from the fact that it's free computer-to-computer voicechat, and requires a good internet connection and a microfone.
and, if you wanna talk from your computer to a phone, you can do it also, paying low rates. pay by credit card, or with paypal. i sound like an ad for them, i just think it's so awesome. the technology is not out of this world, it's actually kinda simple and kinda old ideas applied in a new way. but the result is so earth-flattening: suddenly you can talk with people who are very far away, as though they were in the very room with you.
simply amazing.
