ismoIt's still chilly out, for May. Tonight the temperature will dip below freezing, so I'll have to put a sheet over my peony again. This is not totally unheard-of, for I remember times when it snowed on the Diva's birthday, the first time we lived in Michigan. I was able to muster up my voice for a Zoom with Deb and the Prussian, and talk probably more than was good for me. Ever since then, I have been tired out and longing to go back to bed, and have done nothing, except prepare a little supper for us. I have learned more things not to do on Everest.
Last night I dreamed that the Sparrowhawk had asked me what I needed that I didn't have. I said that I didn't have a watch, and he bought me a gorgeous Breitling watch, the kind that astronauts and divers like. And then in the dream I saw my brother, and when he saw the watch, his eyes lit up. "Where did you get that watch?" he said. I sensed that he was longing to ask how much it cost, and how I was able to afford it. When I woke up, I was sad, because I thought I should have just given him the watch. And then I thought that I do have one thing that he would have liked to have: a chance to live longer. I suppose the expensive watch was dream language for more life, more precious time. And that I couldn't give him.
The day name is LargeMouthBass! That's funny, because large mouthed bass was another thing my brother liked. He loved bass fishing. And as Thoreau said, “Time is but the stream I go a-fishing in. I drink at it; but while I drink I see the sandy bottom and detect how shallow it is. Its thin current slides away, but eternity remains.”
