Dreams inside

*****

Dreams ........ are funny experiences ...... mine anyway :)

Waking dreams were never my thing.

Aside from the odd yen to be someone else, who would have a "normal" life.

***

Yet, hidden inside there was a dream of sorts.

Buried like a mummy

Interred

a long way within

***

Dreams, well they can be a bit dangerous can't they, be careful what you wish for?

When I was about 7yrs old ................

There was a woman on TV, there she was

in the African bush

drinking tea

and eating

her breakfast

outside

in the sunshine

wearing her nightie!

***

lion cubs

played at her feet prrrr

***

Well, that looked a bit like a dream life ........

I said it aloud.

"how ridiculous"

my mother exclaimed" people like us don't do things like that"

&

WHY

NOT

I thought

before wondering what you could do instead

when really,

all you wanted

was

to be someone else

and not be "people like us"

I recently thought about this incident, 43yrs on, when I was at a friends farm,

offering her Camels a sniff

of some wonderful organic plant oils.

***

Not "people like us" anymore

am I?

OK,

so I know

I don't work in my nightie

nor are any lion cubs at my feet

But it's a world away

from "people like us"

My mother can't believe

I'm people like them

now.

Well, she can really ...............

Bless her, my greatest Teacher

Just had to rebel

didn't

I

clever mother
