Charity's Dream
The sky is always dark in my dreams. I was in a garden with Morgan, his garden, he was showing me his plants. We were standing underneath a looming, beautiful live oak tree. Its roots were everywhere.. but something was "off" somehow, I felt frightened, felt we weren't alone.. kept saying to Morgan, "It's just the fear of the unknown, that's all" over + over to reassure myself. Then he took me by the shoulders and turned me to face the dark garden, the trunk of the oak tree, and said "Look". and before me were these elongated, luminous slivers of light much like orbs but shaped differently, and they were bobbing gently in the air like sleepy fireflies. "This is your family, " Morgan said. and they were spirits, benevolent spirits that are always with me/us.. "See, there's my grandfather".. he pointed.. [lawson?] it was so amazing and magical and lovely and my fear dissolved and I was in pure awe.
