IN THE DREAMINGThis is a featured page



That night, she removed her clothes, stepped into the bathtub, immersed herself in water and wept. In her heart, she knew that there comes a time to either love or let go.

In this crushing moment, and moments like these are truly crushing, there was a fierce desire to bury her head in the pillow of her bed and disappear. For a day, for a month, for a year. To cry incessantly and allow her body to grieve for the personal inadequacy that ran her through like a razor sharp lance at that very moment. And she thought to herself, where does one go from here? Does one walk away completely? Or does one damn the social world to the wind and follow through, continuing to love without the thought of final consequences? The consequences. Of course, one always knows what they are. If they have not captivated the lover’s self, then they are true for the beloved, whoever that may be. The lover loves, the beloved receives, and in doing so both are irrevocably bound in a delicate ballet that quietly moves the inner universe like a clock in perfect time.

Her mind was dancing with the import of these thoughts, and the water lay quiet as she closed her eyes and dropped her head back against the white porcelain. And she asked herself, what do I do now?

No angelic reply ever comes for such lovers, it’s true. Even if one asked a million different souls, the answer would always be different. For the paths of love can be many, and the minds that build them are varied. And yet, one wonders, do they all reach the same conclusion, the same realization, that love is a confirmation of oneness reflected in the eyes of another human being? If so, how many walk away completely? And how many stay to weather the fierceness of life no matter what the costs to the soul? It is a question undoubtedly without an answer...and maybe it’s better that way. Answers are not always the gift of a dream...and in the dreaming love is not always what it seems.
