My Dream

"i had the coolest dream last night"

"tell me"

um...

It's the end of the world
every 'scene' the edges were being blown away to nothingness
it'd come from a distance
i was running away with everyone
from scene to scene
and sure enough,
it would still come destroying everything and leaving nothing
as i was running
i started thinking
and gaining control of my fear
and i realized that it didn't matter

well
it did
but running wouldn't help
i'd just keep running
so the last 'scene' was outside of a big brick school building
and the students from our school were there
kristi and paul and dominic stood out the most
so i walked out towards the destruction
you could see it in the distance
and i walked to a spot on the sidewalk
and sat down
and began to meditate
and i was worried about getting it perfect
sitting
posture
being even that is
and then i realized i just needed to be comfortable
everyone thought i was crazy
but paul asked me if i needed anything before they ran
and actually,
i really wanted a drink
and he brought me my cup
and i had a sip of water
then meditated
and the nothingness and destruction came
but i was meditating
and i could hear it
it was all around me
but the more i focused on my breathing
the less fear i had
and eventually
the chaos turned into a warm breeze
and i realized there was no difference between the two.
