My dream last night

I was driving with Stacy in the car. We were driving through a very dark daytime storm. You know those storms that just give you that eerie feeling? Well up ahead, probably a few miles in the distance were 3 tornadoes. I think it was 3. The amount of them is a bit hazy in my brain, but it was more than 1 and less than 5 for sure. Everyone else around us were frantically stopping, making 3 point turns, and driving in the other direction. This is a bit hazy but Stacy was also telling me to turn around. She wasnt' yelling like you would think, just saying what I think was "baby, shouldn't we going the other way??"

I don't know what the inner sybolism was, what it means, etc but...

I would not drive away. This is specifically remember. I smiled at her, chuckled to myself, and said "No way, I know what I'm doing. Trust me! We're doing the right thing going towards them."

You know how in a dream, the thing you always remember most is the emotion or feeling you are feeling? I had this overwhelming feeling of comfort. I can't remember ever feeling so comforted in my whole life, like being an infant again. I felt no immediate danger, no temerity in my decision. Perhaps this is how I live my life already anyway, I should have stayed asleep for the ending result.

But like faith, I don't need to.

Your house is on fire...

"You wake up in the morning, your paint's peeling, your curtains are gone, and the water is boiling. Which problem do you deal with first?"

I feel like so many people I meet live their life this way. Maybe that's not fair, I guess the description would be that they chooose their perspective to be this way. It's unnerving on many levels, especially if you're into politics...but I shan't go there.

Whatever happened to fighting your demons head on? Whatever happened to being absolutely up front with people? I can't tell you how many "professionals" from different walks of life I've met who don't have the stones to do the adult thing at any given moment of any day. Beyond that, people just try and find shortcuts, or strange solutions to obvious problems. Giving examples would be patronizing to anyone who actually reads this, so I'm going to happily assume you know the sort of things I'm referring to.

Now I'm not saying I fix everything in my life. Please. I'm just under the illusion that anything has easy fixes.

Ever the less obvious...

You can't fix tiny details on a house that's burning down. You have to put out the fire. The details come later.
