While I was staring at the red dress, she leaned over and whispered something #sappy in my ear, “Love written on the heart can never be erased.“

I didn’t get it back then, but I think I do now.

In my dream, I entered a garden where each flower had a #number written on its stem. The wind moved among them gently, rearranging their order as if to teach me that sequence, that my logical, orderly life is an illusion, a pointless pursuit.

You are standing in the sky.

When we think of the #sky, we tend to look up, but the sky actually begins at the earth. We walk through it, yell into it, rake leaves, wash the dog, and drive cars in it. We breathe it deep within us.

Moonlight struck her cheek like a stage light, and she whispered my name like an apology. I warned her - none of that #sappy stuff, not tonight.

Yeah, I know what that word means! A #myth is a lady who isn’t married.

Whaddaya think I’m stupid?!

In #myth, Sisyphus, condemned by the gods, must eternally push a boulder up a hill - only to watch it roll down every time he nears the top.

Some days, I think this myth describes my #Bluesky experience. Daily, I try to offer up something good, then watch it come crashing down, unseen.

I wish that the femme fatale in a red dress, the woman who tears your guts out, was a #myth. But it’s not. It’s not.

#Rapture waits at the edge of reason. It asks for no faith except surrender. When I give it my silent-openness, it fills me with light and song.

She wore the red dress like it was stitched from danger. I stared too long. She stared back longer. I felt like a man being #measured for his own downfall.

With a start of a TV commercial, time tilts, and it is #measured in blab-o-seconds. These typically are significantly longer than standard seconds, and some seem infinitely longer :-/
