PP's WAW Adventure Continues - (8)

[PigPen]

How did you feel after the dream Mutatio? Was it comforting or upsetting?

I enjoyed the experience of the dream. I am a touch type person in the 5 love languages so this dream was right up my alley. In the dream my wife was kind and loving to me. She seemed genuinely in love with me. There was not much said but she communicated her love with her eyes. It was a good dream. Then the alarm sounded and my dream changed to a bad reality.

In retrospect it was a bittersweet moment. The warmth of my wife's past love juxtaposed with icy cold limbo I find myself in now. I am glad I had this moment to relive the love that I used to share with my wife.

Juxtaposition is the essence of DB'ing in my opinion Mutatio. It's the union of opposites, and the tension between the two. How do you find happiness in the midst of heartache? How do you find beauty in the mundane when the magnificent is being strangled right in front of your eyes. How do you laugh while feeling excruciating pain.

Juxtaposition is one of my favorite words and you hit the nail right on the head with your answer. Every time I dream of my W I wake with the same feeling. A momentary feeling of peace and happiness followed by the drop back into th cruelty of reality. I imagine this is the same situation for any human being experiencing crisis on any front. Sleep gives us a slight respite, only to awaken us to the pain of our lives.

It's November, a new month. A new week tomorrow and a new month today. Who knew that time would become so important when only a year ago I would piss it away. Who knew that one year could be so pivotal and so profound.

I spent the morning lying in bed with Woofie, just enjoying the silence of the Sunday and his warmth. He's asleep on the porch as I type this. Life is OK right now. Life is OK.

Reminding myself that nothing is more attractive to anyone, male of female than someone living on purpose. Today I will live on purpose and hope that all of us DB'ers do too.

Happy November,

PP
