everything was beautiful and nothing hurt.

Last night I dreamed of Thailand...

Although fleeting, the vision was vivid.  One of those strange moments where- behind the backs of my eyelids and deep into my mind- I was able to smell and touch.  

I remember being in an endless ocean, which was at once blue and completely clear. I could feel the water, which was only waist-deep, anchor the trunk of my body. I was surrounded by music and people...all different kinds. We did not all speak the same language, yet I somehow understood every word. I was not afraid. 

Here is what I remember most: looking above, the sky seemed absolutely endless, unattainable. Then, these new friends took turns throwing me into the air...somehow, I touched the heavens. It was euphoria and harmony, both.

I pray it is just like that, just as I imagined.

Please, God, let it feel just like that.

I haven't had a dream like that in a while. Last night, I dreamt of Afghanistan, and it was not pleasant. It was just a different location for my current stressors.

Anyway, I hope that your dreams come true, and that mine do not.

Love ya, sis!

btw;
Obama?!?!? a Marxist?!?!?
You remind me of that saying;
If you aren't a liberal by twenty, you have got no heart. If you aren't a conservative by thirty, you have no brain.

Take it easy!

Well sis I too must say I haven't had a dream like that in awhile. Last night I dreamnt I was in baghdad again, rockets, helicopters...women in burkas...I wonder how Thailand is being affected by the Mianmar typhoon? Anyway I hate to see you go but know you will have an amazing time, there's no doubt about it.
Love
