I am feeling a bit disconnected from the world lately. I got an email from my dear friend Tiwi the other day and she was writing exactly the same way as I was feeling – She even used the same words to describe it: ‘feeling disconnected’. I wondered what was going on in her life.  

I am aware that ‘the universe is random looking for order looking for random’…. Could it be that we are both in randomness at opposite ends of the world? Random means done or chosen without method or conscious decision….haphazard, stray, erratic; chance.  

My haphazardness feels more  ‘chaotic’ to me. I know it sounds like I am being dramatic but the word ‘haphazard’ just doesn’t fit or resonate with what my life feels like right now. ‘Chaotic’ rings for me, yet it is more about everything around me and not my state of mind, thankfully. I am pretty much in ‘order’ in the midst of this ‘chaos’. 

However as I stated above, I am feeling a bit disconnected.  This state of ‘random’  is having an effect on my social life which is why I am pulling away from friends and family and hanging close to home. It is a time for reflection without too much analysis I must add. Living in my head feeding my ego instead of my heart does not serve me well.

So the ‘chaos’ in my life has shown up in my dreams and in a very profound and revealing way as dreams tend to do sometimes. Visualize this:  Massive and I mean MASSIVE structures were flying at me.  Just like in the movie ‘Star Wars’ when they are flying their ships dodging huge asteroids coming towards them.  

Well that is how this dream was only I wasn’t in a space ship….I was on land with nothing around to protect me.   And the massive structures coming towards me were huge ‘random’ (There’s that word again:) parts of space ships and structures that looked like scaffolding for a building, only again in ‘random’ shapes.  They flew towards me but never landed on me. And as much as I was dodging them I was once again  in ‘order’, in the appropriate place, safe, in the midst of the ‘chaos’. 

I remember feeling no fear, and at one point even guesstimating as one was flying towards me where it would land so that I could avoid it.  One in a calm state of mind would never think that way. One in fear would be screaming and running all over the place acting ‘chaotic’ themselves.  I was no where near this state.

I woke up pretty early after that dream. I didn’t want to go back to sleep. Instead I thought about it for some time so that I could remember it and blog about it this morning.

I believe as many do, that our dreams are little notes to ourselves.  Maybe even lessons. Could it be that this dream is preparing me to command my ship? Or could it be just a sign that no matter what chaos is going on around me, I will be level headed and make the right decisions for me. I will be safe. Maybe both. 

What are your dreams telling you? Share. Blog me.

Hi Frank: What are you doing living in Vietnam? Are you in Saigon? I have great memories from my travels there.  Dying to know which hotel you and your friends converse in…You don’t want to look like nuts…hmm…my curiosity has gotten the better of me.  But that’s okay, you can keep your little secret. 

I used to collect crystals many years ago and I have a few very special ones. I never had time to really enjoy VN. I was working so much and any time off I was in a spa relaxing or shopping the markets. I never saw any crystals but then I was probably not in the right places to look.  

Happy that you and your friends enjoy the reads and…that you finally got in.

Hi Ghazan: I know it must seem that way. As much as we are all world citizens most people are just too involved in living their own lives and seeing the atrocities that happen, leaves one feeling helpless – what can one do? Sadly, most turn off the TV and go on with their lives. The program that Doug and I were watching the other night told us nothing new. I do remember saying that I didn’t want to support China by  buying anything made from there. But our entire country would have to take that stand in order to have an impact. I have to think more about this…Any suggestions – I am open and willing to hear. 

I am running out of time this morning, and I see more comments have come – so sorry…I will address the rest of you tomorrow.  Have a peaceful day.  

Gratefully your blog host,

Doug needed a good laugh last night, and who am I to turn down a good laugh especially when it involves Jack Black, one of my most fav actors. If you are a JB fan like we are (loved him in ‘School of Rock’), you will love him in this role.  Why do I suspect that his personality is not much different from the characters that he plays? I would just love to have Jack as a friend….I might even adopt him if I could…that is just how cool and funny I think he is. 

Anyway, if you haven’t guessed it by now, we went to see the animated Kung Fu Panda…his latest flick. And I have to tell you it was hilarious, although maybe we were the only ones really laughing in the theater.  JB plays a noodle cooking panda named Po who dreams and inspires to becoming the ‘chosen one’: The Dragon Warrior! Unfortunately he is fat, slow, and not only out of shape, but is basically a level zero in Kung Fu.  Dustin Hoffman is perfect at playing the guru, master Shifu, a little reminiscent of Yoda, so he is instantly likable in a very familiar way.  Can you tell who plays ‘Tigress’? 

I won’t tell you the rest, but I thought it was sweet, thought provoking, and funny all at the same time.  How could I not like a movie that quotes one of my favorite sayings, ‘Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, today is a gift…that is why we call it the present.’

Today is a gift…every day is a gift. Be ‘present’ and enjoy it.
