Dream memory

I had a horrible dream last night. A freaky, nonsensical one. For some reason I was running in a underground tunnel system, with a long, deep channel of water runnning down the middle. I had a box of comic books, and some little figurines that were Newton and my sweetie (Not sure if they were really them, or just toys, but my dream mind said to protect them at any cost). There was a pack of wolves chasing me, and the tunnel was badly lit… All I could see was the wolves eyes in the dark, and echoing growls. To throw the animals off my scent, I urinated on some of the comic books… I remember taking a long time to weed out the ones I didn’t like as much… old Issues of Superboy, and tossed them down a side tunnel. I dove into the water, and swam upstream… the water seemed very clean, so I don’t think I was in a sewer. only one wolf followed me, and I savagely ripped out it’s throat when it clamped it’s mouth on my right arm. It was very vivid, and turns my stomach just thinking about it. The body I put in the water, and sent it floating downstream to the others, hoping it would make them slow down, and possibly eat him. I waded out of the water, figurines still in hand, and bright lights and a klaxon alarm went off… I began running again…Newton was on my shoulder, wearing a diving mask and a snorkel.

Then I woke up, heart racing, and in a sweat.

Yuck.

Visit Hawaii Before Its Too Late and They Are Too Old
=================================
Support is building at the State Capitol for an effort to override Gov. Ben Cayetano’s veto of a bill to raise the age when minors can legally consent to having sex. Hawaii’s present age of consent is 14, the youngest in the nation, and the bill would have raised the age to 16. In cases where 14- and 15-year-olds have consensual sex with a person who is at least five years older, the bill called for adult offenders to face up to 20 years in prison.

The Best Slaves Are Chinese Slaves
=================================
When a man offered Feng Chenyun temporary work in another city, she jumped at the chance. Barely literate and desperately poor, Ms. Feng had two children, 10 and 16, and it was nearly impossible to scrape together school fees from her small plot of rice and rape seed.

Her husband was working as a migrant laborer 1,000 miles away, in Guangdong Province. At 37, she had never left her county in Sichaun Province and was feeling restless.

“I went with him because he was offering me work,” she said, recounting from her small dark home the start of a tale that still brings tears three years later. “I just wanted to get out and earn a bit of money.”

Instead, Ms. Feng was kidnapped, drugged, placed on a train and sold for about $1,500 as a bride to a brick maker in faraway Xinjiang Province — becoming one of the tens if not hundreds of thousands of poor Chinese women who are sold on a black market each year.

A quick note, before beddy bye.

I feel good, if a bit curious. I’m thinking my love is happy and healthy… She’s a creature of depth, though, and I want that joy and well-being to permeate every corner of her being.

Taking a moment, to focus on her happiness and peace tonight, and through the future…sleep well, my darling.

I hope she manages to check her mail tomorrow morning… I think it’ll make her day a bit more pleasant…. a little trinket of happiness to go with her morning coffee.

Tomorrow… I want to synch up our lunches again, and break bread over distance. Things like that make m very happy, and I think she digs it too. I went to the grocery store this evening, picked up some snacks. (I forgot cherry pop tarts, but I have freezer pops to dine upon with her.

Newt’s loved having me home all weekend, and I’ve liked sharing so much time with 2 out of 3 of my favorite librans, too. In fact, he’s curled up in my indian-style lap as I type… I’m going to have to move him to my neck, so’s to accomodate sleepies.

one last thing. I want to get together with my love, and become these guys.

sweet dreams, adios, and see you tomorrow!
