How can anyone get lost in a two room apartment? Well, let's be honest it is two rooms with a small half galley kitchen, meaning I have all the necessities with no counter space.
Yet, I will be sitting at the computer, writing and think I should go into the bedroom -- where I already am. Or I will be in the living room thinking and think maybe I will go into the living room!
My imagination is so huge that sometimes I get lost in it, but I have room for that now.
I will be out in a country barn, or playing spider-man with a young friend, or carrying a five year old across the field piggy back and be shocked to look up and see my computer! I am seldom confined by four walls, or even a particular situation anymore. I am becoming my own holodeck!
I am living proof that no matter how bad you think things are, or how irreversible they are, anything can happen. It brings back the Mickey Mouse club of my day when Jimmy and Annette went to the big vault and said, "Mishca, Mooshca Mouseketeer," on anything can happen day.
I now believe that if you dream it hard enough, it can happen. I don't know, it may not be guaranteed to happen, or to last, or even to be real, but it feels real and the joy is real. Isn't that what we all really want? We want the joy of the dream more than the simple material things that might bring that joy.
All my life the two things I can remember always wanting, at least since first grade, were to be loved and to write. What is it you want?
