go to sleep/that place between

GO TO SLEEP
when sleep comes, I slowly slip into a place where some times there seems to be no time. where I live in a land with lots of space, there I can run so very fast it's almost like flying it is so fast, some times I do fly, over trees and golden corn fields. Up up into the sky fast too I fly fast. It almost feels like a roller coaster. The wind is whistling in my ears, I open my eyes, and I am no longer sleeping. Some would say that I was back in the real world, I'm not sure.

THAT PLACE BETWEEN
my house mate and I were talking about how we get so exited sometimes that we get to go to sleep at night, she and I both agreed that after a long day it feels so good to crawl into bed under the covers and let our selves just relax completely. I like how every thing just seems to melt into the bed, my body lets go of the stress of the day, and there is stillness, and quiet. My favorite feeling I would say is that time when your gently slipping into that other place of no time, and of dreams, that time just in between. It's one of my favorite places, I like how it feels to be aware of that in between space, it's almost as if time is shifting, or floating, or I'm not sure how to describe it except that it's not yet there, it is, that place between.

wet pavement.

Remember that song we used to sing when we were kids, the one we sang when we wanted to go frolic in the out doors but we didn't because it was raining. Rain rain go away come again some other day. Or the one about the old man, It's raining it's poring the old man is snoring, he got out of bed and bumped his head and couldn't get up in the morning. Why did we sing those songs, I mean what happen to the old man? I remember, a few times, during the summer when I was a kid my parents would let us play in the rain. This sounds strange I think, but I like the smell of wet pavement, and I used to lay on it face up eyes closed, every other sense awake. The side walk would be warm from the summer sun of the day, and the rain falling on me would be cool. I remember thinking this is so beautiful God. To know God, is to really experience life, in a vivid sort of way, to have every sense, AWAKE.

Assateague.

Assateague. A new kind of swear word, or a wild horse Island on cost of Maryland? I spoke with a friend of mine on the phone the other day. He had been wondering why he hadn't seen me in awhile, I explained that I had gone east to Delaware, there we,( we being my house mates and I) , Had adventures and time next to the ocean. While we were there, I explained that we had visited an island called Assateague. His response made me laugh" pardon me" he said." No,"I said, "I'm not swearing at you." There are these Islands called Assateague, and chincoteague. They are located in Maryland and Virginia. The Islands are national wildlife refuge. One kind of wildlife are the wild horses. We saw them up close and personal, that was unexpected. We're all ok though, and the horses only wanted to say hi, and see if we would feed them any of our strawberries. The strawberries were mine, and I was not about to give them up to a horse, no mater how wild he was. ...

To Kill a soul.

When I was young I think everything was new and it was easer to look with hope on the future. Now on the other hand, it seems it's harder to do so. I don't think I should be having this issue. If it weren't for a walk with God, my soul would be dead right now. These days I feel like my insides are holding on by way of the tips of my fingers. I feel my mind slipping slowly from the edge of the huge ravine that doesn't have an end. Though part of me, probably the part of me that God occupies, says, "let go trust." I'm not sure what it is I’m holding on too still. Maybe it's marriage. I don't want to lose hope for that though. The vast abyss of adventure calls to me to let go. When I was young, I would climb the best trees in the neighborhood. I often tried to find the highest limb I could jump out of with out hurting myself when I landed. I loved climbing and jumping out of trees. There was always that moment just before I leapt of, owo...
