dream
i am always wowed by my dreams lately - when i remember them they are weird... so weird
dreaming
i'm in the mall and i run into tom eaton, who i met a few months ago...
so, her ein the dream we'er at a mall
he's doing this sort of performance art peice at Mid State Mall in NJ - near where i grew up
so of course i'm interested in helping with it, art, scripture, helping a friend, sure (in real life i haven't spoken to him since, i don't know when... but okay)...
so he gives me a slip of paper and says, read it when i leave Borders (book and music store) and react, however, and it has a verse from the bible about resting in the Lord 'and he doesn't say anything and there's a purple cloth - it makes me feel like a prophet in a way, out in the culture because all of a sudden i know God will tell me what to do when the time comes -
so when i leave the store i don't see him, i just do exactly what he said i head toward Rt 18 and then I read the verse he handed me, and I get it - its' reassurance, it's comfort, i hear - rest in me, here, now. rest. and i just curl up and unfold the cloth, it' s a soft cloth, purple, deep deep purple, and i hold it, and hear a voice singing a song - all i need
and i see him (he's super tall) and i start to sing too
you are all i need when im surrounded
you are all i need if i am by yself
you fill me when i'm empty
there is nothing else
you're all i need
...
i'm drawn to everything you do
and nothing, nothing compares

this whole time i'm like, lying on my side in this mall parking lot "resting in the Lord" a car went by, went around me,
and he's filming from the other side... i knew i'd be fine though (in the dream)
in a few minutes he comes over and says, wow , thank you i didn't know what would happen
and i replied, i really didn't know either, i literally had the impression of what to do, and did it
for some reason he had light green mud on his nose and on his cheeks, for the sun? i didn't know. someone came over and was wondering what was happening
Gods just up to something, I thought

waking up

hmmm. i went to write it down asap.
i'm going to head to church early... i went to bed really late wrapping presents ... i'd been out at the Queens Center Mall (good mall! this is coming from a JERSEY GIRL and NYC is a street shopping city, not a mall place - so that was refreshing lol) got my brother a PacSun gift card (actually prepping for hisbirthday in January, his Christmas present is a Vitamin Shoppe card and socks, the practical stuff :P )... I also got my mom bath bombs at Lush, she likes to experiment with things other people think are so novel and good for your skin - when meanwhile her own potions and creations are a million times better than what they say is "great" at Sephora, etc. I almost got suckered into buying a flat iron from an Israeli named Shimrit :) I looked up the brand at home and it turns out they break easily. no thanks! so... all in all interesting. what else... oh! Mamas Empanadas outside the mall, sooo yummy. i bought two, one pollo - ate that right away for dinner. the other one, maduro con queso, i saved and forgot about... an hour later it was STILL warm and dusted with powedered sugar and delicioso.
okay. on with the day. much love people.

it's crazzzy you remembered all the words from a song in a dream.
maybe I'm a little late on this, but merry christmas! on the other hand i guess this is really only the third day of christmas or so?
so merry christmas! today and nine more days...
But there's still Three Kings Day on the way and such... so... How about just celebrating for like, a month. I like that idea. What a weird dream...
