Greetings,
A dream from awhile ago has stayed so distinct and clear in my mind that I suspect it was a brief visit to the afterlife --
I was sitting with a friend, a sister perhaps, and we were looking out into a park-like setting in winter. Everything was lightly covered in ice so that it glistened, yet we had no dread of falling. Trees had no leaves and the shape of their bare limbs was beautiful.
We watched a couple pedal passed us in a bicycle with a sidecar attached, like motorcycles have, only the design of it all was much lighter, and it had curves like a sleigh. The couple had grey or white hair and they were very animated, not worried at all about slipping.
They pulled off the road ahead of us and looked up and then I saw above their trees a bunch of high rectangular crystals, all massed together and about three stories tall. The sight made everyone feel good and we just stood around smiling.
As i write this a 'wintry mix' of ice and snow is falling and I feel the clutch of worry about how slick the walks and roads will get.
How I could even look at 'dream-ice' without the life-long associations of slipping on it, I don't know.
Bets
