Slow down, breathe, let me catch the dream
I left it on the couch last night
Now twisted in the sheets
Did you ever have a dream slip through your memory, then desperately try to get back to that time and place again, only to be disappointed that the magic has disappeared, right before you. Can it be? It felt like love. The heart is such a complex little contrivance. This morning, my heart is full of love. There are just so many words that spill over on top of each other, wandering loosely about. I gather them and hold them tight. Being totally out of one's control, sometimes life gets in the way. All you can do is step back a moment, and breathe. Remember to exhale. Slowly, deliberately, with meaning.
It is singular how soon we lose the impression of what ceases to be constantly before us. A year impairs, a luster obliterates. There is little distinct left without an effort of memory, then indeed the lights are rekindled for a moment — but who can be sure that the Imagination is not the torch-bearer? Lord Byron
Close your eyes
Make a wish, blow those seeds
Brings good luck
But only if you believe the magic
I can remember doing this very thing over and over in my childhood, then again when I had children of my own. I am pretty sure that I felt a tingle of delight as I closed my eyes, nice and tight. To make the magic happen, you had to believe.
It was a day of childish laughter, bubbles, and hopscotch. I am sure that everyone has blown at least a few thousand bubbles. It is remarkable that something so simple can bring so much joy - to so many people. It doesn't discriminate against sex, race, or religion. There are streams of laughter; people have fun blowing bubbles and trying to catch them.*
And just like that, these words are done. I want to thank you for strolling along with me through the musings of my mind. Some days, I just have to let them go, giving them freedom, spread across the pages, to say what they say and do what they wish. No judgment.
All I have are my words, armed in my mind, written in pen, stand by stand. Oh, yes. Still by hand. It has a different feel. Altered not by keys, backspace, and delete, I write, erase, tear it to pieces and start all over again. And again.
It’s my way. I walk out to the deep end of the page and dive right in.
The Naming of Cats
The Naming of Cats is a difficult matter,
It isn’t just one of your holiday games;
You may think at first I’m as mad as a hatter
When I tell you, a cat must have THREE DIFFERENT NAMES.

Thank you for the repost @pixresteemer! Much appreciated!
I have indeed waken from a dream and longed to return. Sleep is often much better than reality that way. Kind of like how video games dont have real mosquitoes nipping at you. See the virtual can be so much fun.
Oh pink on blue
Who knew?
Life could be
So cool.
You know, mosquitoes dont bite me! I get that sleep can be be the better reality, that is why people say, sweet dreams.
I hope you have a great sleep!
If this would be that easy...
Well, it is that easy, have you ever done it? Now the other part is magic, and I have nothing to do with that.
But I wish each and every time. Good morming to you!
I do it constantly. Maybe I just need to wait more years to get out of the financial discrimination. Other people are in similar situations. The leaders promised them a better future 40 (or more) years ago, and they (the people) are still waiting for it.
Either way, I give you some !PIZZA and !LUV.
Have a nice day. All the best.
<><
@dswigle, you've been given LUV from @xplosive.
Check the LUV in your H-E wallet. LUV changes soon. (1/3)
@dswigle! I sent you a slice of $PIZZA on behalf of @xplosive.
Did you know Pizzabot in Discord has a bunch of useful commands? (1/10)
Well, you know I love the pizza and LUV! I hope some day that you do realize the financial freedom you seek. It is reasonable to want to be financially indepenent.
Hopefully, the leaders will see the error of their ways, although the timing couldn't be worse. Right?
Have a nice day!
Dreaming always make you a whilr to go forward in your life, the magic or bubbles that most of people used in childhood is also inspiring the life how to be lead our life. Its not necessary to be filled our desire or dream with help of magic but find the way how we can make out life better happily.
"that's not a dream which we see in the middle of sleep, dream is that which not let you sleep to acheive it" - A P J Abul Kalam Azad.
You don't need magic, but, the magic I speak of is the imagination that a child has. Everything is magical when you are a child.
I like the quote about sleep. :)
I hope you are having a great week!
Thank you.
Wow, I thought I saw fireworks but then I realized they were flowers.
Yeah, sometimes there are dreams I wish to remember but sadly I couldn't even though I thought it was vivid before I just woke up.
I know exactly what you mean!!! it is so real, I could touch it... then I wake up and it is gone!
I will still wish and blow dandelion seeds flying through the air and seeing bubbles still delights me. Some things never lose their magic.
EXACTLY! I have to agree with you there. Dandelions blowing in the wind, plucking the petals off a daisy, all these things from childhood. What a fun life we have! :)
Hi, El! It is afternoon here, but, the weather is perfect! Right on time is the near 90 (again) temperatures tomorrow, but, I won't complain. Autumn is too close to do any of that whining!
Yes.... it's time for the weather waffling to start, a few days of vivid summer and then a day or two of fall tease before summer jumps in again laughing.
Not yet ! Not yet ! says summer !
There are so many beautiful pictures that I am very impressed with your photography. You are a very good photographer

childish laughter, bubbles, and hopscotch
How I wish I had more of those.
In my mind... I can.
Thanks for the sweet words, @dswigle.
Wasn't childhood the best? We are so lucky to have had that! 💙
Yes, we are lucky indeed!
When everyone has left you😒, you have your memories😍😀.
Happy moments can be prolonged if you plunge into them completely ...
It seems like you had summer and childhood on your mind :) Excellent writing as always! We all need to remember that magic.
