I thought about that all day..\u00a0 In fact I wasted a good deal of time thinking of that quote which I can say I very much enjoyed doing. <br \/>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Not much noteworthy to report today other than I drifted around in a pretty dreamy state.. I did manage to get hoem in time for Diane&#8217;s 6PM yoga class&#8230; This is the first Mondayn night yoga class I&#8217;ve been in for nearly 3 months !.. In fact.. I realized mid class that this is the first time I&#8217;d been upstairs in the yoga studio in nearly 3 months. I stll get major time warps liek that since returnign from the Colony. <br \/>\u00a0\u00a0 Speakign of the Colony.. I had a peculiar dream last night\u00a0 that mixed The Colony, our new friend<\/p>\n<p>from Cambodia andSam. I dreamed that I was in\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>the small town in Cambodia\u00a0 that our new freind Khem came from. My freinds and I were trying to help them get a water purification\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>system working.. (See my blog post from yesterday to see what that&#8217;s<\/p>\n<p>about) .<\/p>\n<p>Soem of our friends wanted us to just make it look like it would work.. but that<\/p>\n<p>made me really mad.. We all worked to make something that really worked..<\/p>\n<p>but of course it took time..At the same time, the kids\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>from the village were climbing all over the water structure (.some long &#8216;Y&#8217;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>shaped conduits made of wood ?) \u00a0 Then.. we \u00a0heard music.. It was Sam\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>playing guitar and all the kids went over and sat around him while he<\/p>\n<p> played. He sounded great&#8230; I really miss his playing so much. We kept\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>working and got the project finished.. then I went over to talk to Sam. he\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>looked great and said he was fine&#8230; \u00a0 Then I woke up. smiling..\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>T<br \/>\u00a0 he strange thing is when I woke it was 2AM.. My sciatic nerve told me that it wanted me to be awake at that point. I got up and went into the bathroom o look for some\u00a0 advil. I turned on the light, looked around and couldn&#8217;t find any.. oso I turned off the light\u00a0 and walked back into my room.. I was abotu 10 feet back towrads my bed when the light in the bathroom turned back on&#8230;\u00a0 pretty strange and amazing. Not sure what it meant.. but that made me happy too. I wlaked back in turned the light off again.. and went down stairs and walked around for an hour until I felt like goign back to sleep..<br \/>\u00a0\u00a0 It&#8217;s a strange world we live in.. isn&#8217;t it Sam ? <br \/>-me<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I heard a great quote this morning on Garrison Keilor&#8217;s &#8220;the writer&#8217;s alminac&#8217;.
