The sun sets on another day…
Another stormy sunset but the sky was beautiful for a while and I enjoyed the shards of light spraying across the horizon. There can be no better sunset than a sunset because everyone is unique and everyone is beautiful.
In my book, A Slice of Fear, I write about a conversation with death. It’s funny that I see death as a man in white pants and the yellow shirt, at least this week. I have spoke to death in my dreams many times. I will pause here and note that these conversations cover everything from the mundane to the ridiculous and are more conversational than negative. In my first interaction with death I found myself questioning and in the process it was necessary for death to demonstrate who he was and explain that it’s easier to speak on Common Ground.
That made sense to me, because who would want to speak to something crazy or face fear instead of enjoying conversation. For whatever reason the dream works and I have spoke to him six times now over the last 7 years.
Who cares right?
It’s kind of funny, the world is full of strangeness and here I am talking about talking to the personification of the thing most people fear most. That discussion was not full of fear but instead that is similar to a talk with an old friend.
Recently I had another interaction with this curious dream and was again fascinated with how my mind interpreted everything around me. Death does not necessarily mean and end. Death can just be a change. So many of us feel so negative, but sometimes we need to see beyond our mental machinations. Sometimes we need to realize that it’s not always about us.
How do you feel about death? Does it fill you with dread and terror or does it give you hope? Would you rather be that person afraid of death or that person living life to its fullest?
So as the sun sets on another day, being fantastic. Think about your dreams and remember them. Think about how your dreams are a way of coping or understanding things that you are thinking about. And consider for a moment that your dreams may be a portal to somewhere else. Anything is possible when you believe. Find the way that is best for you, no matter what.
Sleep sweet, love life, and love a little more…
