"Half-Formed Idea III"
5:51pm
The scan came out with reds too red and pale blues too pale, but I think I've got it looking like the original.
I woke early yesterday from a very disturbing dream. I recorded it in my private journal, and then later saw one of its scenes repeated later on TV news:
Julia said that I had a 'melon-choly' dream, and after a hug, I went to work with a heavy heart. The heaviness did not leave me. Later, last night, I saw one of its scenes repeated on the TV news, the scene of bodies in muddy water repeated in the films of the Norwegian island of floating bodies. Now, this morning they are saying "At least 91 killed in Norway attacks". How tragic for the world, and for such a peaceful country! My heart goes out to all those personally affected by the loss. Also, too, the "no food' theme was tragically echoed in the news item of starvation in Somalia. PBS gave us scenes of starving children. But I am here, in this more fortunate corner of the world, and I'll probably buy some cantelope this morning at the supermarket. I am grateful for what I have.
