I threw a pebble in a brook
And watched the ripples run away
And they never made a sound.
And the leaves that are green turned to brown,
And they wither with the wind,
And they crumble in your hand...
- Paul Simon, writer/composer
last night, i kept waking up from a dream. in it i was facing the sea, the sun behind me. a boat cuts across and made ripples on the water that sparkled in the warm sunlight. the ripples as they approached the shore became urgent waves that thundered as they swept the sandy shore. as they receded back, they somehow carried me along. i struggled to swim back but water around me started to spin and hurled me down into darkness. i grasped for air but water filled my mouth and my chest. i couldn't breathe and i was fast losing strength. i willed myself to wake up only to fall back to sleep and dreamed the dream again.
it's a morbid dream to accompany this peaceful shot, but i thought this would make another beautiful addition to the hanging arts in a psychiatrist's office, wouldn't you think so?
for the hang it all challenge.
thank you for your kind visits and comments; know that they are truly appreciated.
A beautiful addition for the psychiatrists wall! I love the way you have framed the boat. The clouds, the ripples, and the leaves I'll combine to make it a fascinating image.
Did you really have that dream?! Whenever I have a dream that I want to try and get back into I can never do that! Maybe the key is to NOT want to get into the dream! There is something in your life that is overpowering you and making you feel helpless. Think about it.
After looking at these lovely shots, reading a Scripture or two, I'd probably tell the receptionist I'd have no need of Dr.'s services as the soothing shots and words cured me. Of course I probably wouldn't be there in the first place- but I love to be at all the places you've posted so far!
