We

are a constellation of luminous snowdrift dust dancing about like whirling dervishes on the cold winter pavement....

The Space Between Dreams

My dreams can be relentless.
Disturbing.
Strangely technicolor.

I suppose I've always been pretty good at keeping the mask firmly in place.
But put me to sleep and thoughts wash over me like a tidal wave.
I'm trying to make friends with that place "between" my dreams.

When I was a kid I spent a lot of time in trees seeing how high I could climb...
or in empty school playgrounds determining my running speed and distance..
or at the lake in the summertime trying to find out how long I could hold my breath under water.

I guess back then I wanted to be ready for anything. I was also pretty sure I was a superhero...
and so confident in my assessment I launched myself from the roof once...only to discover my powers not fully developed quite yet.

I knew that someday I would need to draw upon my strength and my powers to make things right with the world. And in doing so managed to bury everything else "for the good of mankind".

Writing is a funny thing because you have to reach into your gutts and pull the words out like a magician with his hat.....once those hankerchiefs are pulled out...the stream can be endless.

A friend of mine blogged about fear and I didn't understand it until I was resting in it...
it's a roadblock you just have to muscle through and I think I've finally found the place I can write without being afraid.

You have to take the mask off and allow the tidal wave to wash over you.

Your dreams will find their peace with you but you can't be afraid to meet them.

As twisted and as odd as they are...they are fragments of you.

I started this blog with the intention of putting the magic of my life to words...
all of the cosmic connections and luminous discoveries I've made...the soulmates I've met...
the rare moments we've captured and suspended in time....the revelations of space and a power I never knew existed before.

England says..."Your faith has to be greater than your fear".

So this is where the trajectory has landed...its up to me to take off and run with it...

I do, after all, have the superpowers.
