The past few days have been peaceful, almost too peaceful. It felt like I was drifting on a sea of endless platitudes.
I was living in a slow-motion film until my mind began to nudge me in another direction.
One small step was simple at first until I began to feel a sudden shift in momentum.
I fell backward onto a wavelength I thought I had left behind.
I woke up this morning feeling like I’d been tumbling through a Lina Wertmuller film: Swept Away.
I had moved into a virtual realm where Romeo resides. This mind shift my dream had taken filled me with ambivalence.
On one hand, I felt I had succumbed to sin. On the other hand, a dream is harmless. It hurts no one.
The electrical current running through my dream awakened me.
The truth is there is no satisfaction in lifeless platitudes.
