Dream

[poliphilo]

I dreamed I was at home with all three kids and they were the ages they were when I split up with their mother and we were launching a skyrocket. It went whooshing up over the hills and then, instead of bursting, changed direction and came right back down to where we were, landed on the grass and stuck there, fizzing and spluttering. I told the kids to keep away from it, but they ignored me and clustered round it and put it out.

Sounds like your mind is working through some Major Stuff. It also suggests that you know they're coming through it okay in their own ways.

I think so.

I've a feeling that one chapter is coming to an end and a new one beginning.

So interesting-and I like what Laura said.

Happy New Year, Tony--it sounds as if yours has already begun--and that you can make this new chapter your own, because your children will be fine.

Thanks,

Yes, I'm on the move. A lot has happened for me this year and I'm in the process of making sense of it.

There comes a point in the life of every mature adult when we make peace with our past, forgiving ourselve and others for being fallible human beings. It frees up a lot of energy for more important stuff, like keeping the bunny away from Pauline Bonaparte.

Yes indeed. It's all a long time ago now. What's done is done and can't be undone- and as you say- there's Pauline's honour to be defended.
