Dream One

Dream #1

After a long ride through the construction filled streets riding comfortably on the backs of the family dogs they reached the warm underbelly of a swath of trees littered with statues of animals leading the way to the real animal haven. This warm and very gentle creature stood to the right of the trail with a man who might first be mistaken as a grandfather or parent. Her hair, long and red and grey and black hung around her face, neck and chest. She made polite conversation in the most agreeable confident way. On her nose a natural triangle formed from tanner skin sprinkled with very light brown freckles. And when they turned around, dogs back from a romp around the grounds, they realized she was not as she appeared. Not a girl at all. But an evolved being, an as old as a scribe, invoking that role in order to remain a learner; “very nice to meet you” she said. It came across with a perfect pitch of sincerity and immediately, deeply appreciated. As if a degree had been earned. An answer to meet the question; “am I doing alright.” "Yes" it whispered behind the words, “heavens yes.”
