It sounds like truth. Perhaps I’ll find
Wonders on the way?
Dreaming leaves the world behind.
Truths come home to stay.
When I wake into the light
What seemed like darkness may
Sort through the shadows, cool the night,
Clear for endless day.

Lovely. You should suggest to physicists what this dreamy, truthy, dark matter is 🙂

I suspect this is a different dark stuff than physicists want to find. I wonder if there is any of that dark matter that they are looking for, but this darkness-lightness is real. Thanks!

I’m a positivist also. I’ve tried writing deep, dark stuff and it turns into a comedy by the time I’m finished. Thanks, Lillian!

We take reality too much for granted. That may be why we dream: to stir us up a bit. Thanks, Björn!

Imagine..
not being
able to day
dream in visual
images.. true.. some
people cannot do this
as innately as such and
must navigate the world through
symbols and the more words the better for that..
i never kNew this
until i visited a
‘Wrong Planet’
online and
people
did
relate they Do thiNk
in zero visual images aT all
face blind with close friends
and even family members as
the images of moving faces now
never seen as anything but same..
and in fact they see life as literal
and rarely anything but sidewalk concrete
never veering off further into
Leaves of
Grass
that
become
iNfinity iN
a GRain of Sand..
sure.. much easier
to do it dreaming up
a visual image of a gRain
of Sand as UniVerse wHOle..
AnyWay.. the more we kNow of each other..
the more we can imagine our differences and
similarities to the point that it will never be necessary
to blow
each
other
up for
no other
reason than
words that speak
different languages of reaLiTy now…
Nice to see yA Frank.. hope you enjoyed InDiana..:)
