It Happens So Fast

I took a walk in the park today because it was a beautiful day. It amazes me how quickly nature changes in the spring time. The greens are unbelievably green. It almost has an unnaturalness about it but I think it's just the winter colours that are still in my head. This is spring. Everything is new again and better. I don't think it gets any better than this. To see bright young leaves sprout from the bare branches is a sight that no other season can offer. I intend to get out into the park as often as I can over the next few weeks so I can observe the changes. The plants grow up so fast, before you know it their leaves are turning red again.

I took the example from my cat this afternoon and had a nap in the sun. I just lay down on my hardwood floor with one pillow for my head and fell asleep quite comfortably. The air outside is still cold, but the sun coming through the windows is lovely. I can't think of a way I'd rather sleep. I close my eyes and feel the sun spreading across my face. Maybe that is how plants feel. I can't believe how comforting a burning ball of gas can be. I love the sun.

There was only one dream that I thought was worth remembering today. One of my friends was telling us about his dream and for some reason we were reenacting the whole thing the the dream. There were werewolves in a public washroom and they were making sure that anyone that wasn't a werewolf was made into one. The details are really hazy now, but they were tearing some people to shreds for some reason. When it was my turn I was wondering if it was really so necessary to do such a faithful reenactment and why we were doing it in the first place. I didn't want to get scratched up so I think we skipped that part. I don't know if that makes any sense, but I like the idea of reenacting a dream inside a dream. Any dreams that deal with dreams are kind of cool.

Lastly, I love having awesome secrets. I hate having to keep them to myself but on the other hand they can only get bigger and better if you hold onto them. I recommend finding some for yourself. They will make your life that much more meaningful and exciting.
