  • It’s Good to Be Queen

    All night last night I was dreaming about being a queen. I woke up wondering what it means. On one level, perpetuating the hierarchical structure of a monarchy, with arbitrary birth circumstances making people feel they can control all the resources – not really my thing. I don’t tend to like wielding power over others.…

    “The space between The tears we cry Is the laughter keeps us coming back for more” – Dave Matthews Lately I’ve been intrigued by edges, by the spaces between one thing and another. They can often be places of great paradox and deep creativity. In many of the Big Debates of our culture – pro…

    I saw a quote on a writing page about writers being “drained” after a couple hours of writing. In my experience, that’s just not true. Lately I’ve been working on my novel for NaNoWriMo nearly every day. When I finish a session of writing, I feel exhilarated and happy. I’m not saying that it’s always…

  • I Guess I’m Dead

    I had a dream last night that I was in an empty office-type area, I think on a college campus. Some people, strangers to me, came in and started talking with me, and pretty soon one of them said to me, “I think you’re dead.” Another one agreed, “Yeah, I don’t think you’re alive here.…

    “Summertime, summertime, sum-sum-summertime…” I love summer, and yet it often means I’m busy and on the go more than usual. This has been just such a week. There have been a lot of fun things: swimming, drumming, meals with family, performing, hanging out with the members of our performance troupe, dancing at a fun outdoor…

    Last night I had a single bite of lobster dipped in butter. It tasted delicious. Some background: for probably about 20 years, I’ve been what I’ve considered vegetarian. For the first 13 years of that, though, I would occasionally eat fish or seafood. Not often, maybe once every three months or so, and usually for…

    After a time of relative quiet, my dream life has become very active lately. It’s Spring, and as the land awakens, I’m remembering my dreams more often. A lot of them relate to travel, which for me means that I’m “on the way” to a new phase in my life. As I’m stepping more fully…

    All my life, I’ve been a really good sleeper. I credit my Dad and his bear-like ability to sleep anytime, anyplace, for as long as he likes. I love to sleep. I have a deep delight in dreaming, too, and my dreamscape is an important part of my creative inner world. I almost always get…

    When Quester and I were in college, for a semester or two I worked for some wonderful women in a new department, Peace Studies. Quester was always involved in the local music scene, so we tried to put on a spring fundraiser called “Peace Through Music.” It failed, I think from lack of enough publicity,…

    Hey folks! I hope your week has been fun, or at least interesting (which reminds me of the old curse, or perhaps blessing, “may you live in interesting times,” heh).  After a lull in my dream-time activity, this week has been chock-full of meaningful dreams. First I was pregnant (yeah, I’m 43 and my kids…
