strange dreams

is it weird that kelli and i both had the same themes in our dreams two nights in a row? friday night she dreams about people cliff jumping. the people around her try to coax her into jumping off an impossibly high cliff into the water below. the same night i dream of climbing a high tower and then, as i reach the top, plummet into a pool as the bottom as the tower gives way.

last night (saturday) kelli dreamt of swimming to the bottom of a treacherously deep body of water while i dreamt of accidently driving off a cliff into the Chesapeake bay.

Falling and drowing. Neither are fun ways to go.

so next week we take the plunge into the frightening unknown. its always the anticipation that's the worst. perhaps anticipation is best at drawing out the metaphors in our subconsciousness. perhpas its my brain's way of saying: "what are you worrying about this crazy apartment for?!? you're starting your masters' degree in one week!" i don't even like typing that... much less focusing on it... "master's degree".

strange things await. some things secret. some things new. some things old though wrapped up with shiny packaging and unfamiliar faces. soon enough we won't be "new" anymore but simply a part of the pursuit.

what if everything reversed and all was changed back to what was reality only a couple of weeks ago? no, its too late now. to go backward in time would be too strange.

its nearly time to take command. to charge forward. to "seize the day" and to "put the nose to the grindstone". i'm ready. let's go.
