: : : : : hey Kat,
: : : : : it's Bill. how are YOU doing? just wondered. keeping up the new awakened state? i am learning alot about that now. i'm reading this cool book, THE MIRACLE OF MINDFULNESS by Thich Nhat Hanh. It rocks! Also I'm reading two other books by him. He is a Buddhist monk, but what he said can be applied to Christian faith. It is his exercises in mindfulness that I find can help me to focus my thoughts on one thing long enough to benefit from it.
: : : : : o.k. here's my latest dream:
: : : : : dream of the flying tacs
: : : : : this dream had three parts, of which i will share parts two and three. the second part of the dream found me in my kitchen with jeff, my brother, in the other part of the house. i was walking around trying to pick up these plastic headed tacs off the floor. And everytime I would try to pick one up it would sort of make a buzzing sound like an insect and squirm away from my fingers or scoot across the floor. The more I tried picking up the tacs, the more they started buzzing and even flying around through the air. one of them, a blue one, tried to stick me through my sandals. I actually grabbed it by the point and it slithered out of my firmly clasped index finger and thumb. it was jerking around and making bee sounds. then it dislodged itself and flew away somewhere over the refrigerator. i was starting to get scared that some of them might fly into my ears. it was scary.
: : : : : the third part of the dream--i was with my old friend paul, and i think marcos, and a third guy who was very handsome, almost like a model. his name was mark and he was a very nice guy. he was wearing a bright orange jacket and i think white pants. anyway, we had driven to some city which was oriented in the dream somewhat like thonotosassa is oriented in reality from my real house, the pink palace. anyway, while we were there paul and marc and mark all scored some cool halloween costumes from someone there. then they all were heading back to the cars--then mark noticed that i had no costume and he stopped everyone. BILL he said WHERE IS YOUR COSTUME? YOU CAN'T GO BACK TO TAMPA WITHOUT ONE. Then he grabbed me by the arm and started walking me back to wherever that place was that they got costumes. And he totally dressed me up in this midnight black mariachi band uniform, that tight vest jacket thing and the pants, both covered with shiny stitching and stones. Then he found a huge plastic jack-O-lantern and placed it on my head, so I was this sort of Mexican great pumpkin. Anyway, he was so proud of the way I looked and he walked me back to the car to meet Marc and Paul. I think Mark was a vampire. He looked real cool and his hair, which naturally was very light brown, was now sort of greyish blue, but not bad looking. And he never let go of me the whole way back to the car, telling me how great i looked. And I felt like I was ready for a party, only I didn't exactly know in the dream where we were supposed to be going; only that it was in Tampa. i don't think any of the guys knew either.
: : : : : that's the dream....
: : : : And a very tacky dream, one that sticks to the bottom of your soul....
