Seeing Ghosts

Saturday, just a little after sunset, my husband and I saw something cross the road and disappear. We both thought it looked sort of like a tall, slender man. But this man didn't move quite right. He sort of skittered across the road - and he didn't seem as substantial as a person.

It looked as though he went in the front door of a rather run down house. We were both struck by the fact that no light came out of the door and the building looks unoccupied. When we slowed down to look, we discovered that the "door" he appeared to go through is now boarded over. There is a fence on the side of the house, so it is also not possible that he ran to the side of the house as he would have had to leap over a tall fence which would at least slow him down. There was no sign of a person anywhere.

What do you think? Ghost? Vampire?

The Beat Goes On

I am a great one for being overly optimistic - about everything - but especially how long it will take to complete a project and how much energy I'll have available to do it. In my minds eye everything sails along smoothly, with no problems and no interruptions. I never learn - but perhaps it is just as well. Much of my personal courage is probably based on this obliviousness of mine.

At any rate, the book now has a title: DreamLines: A Guided Journey Through the Landscape of Dreams. It is an almost done deal. We are tweaking the layout of the contents now. I expect to receive a back-of-the-book comment from Patricia Garfield, PhD, an expert on dreams and author of "Creative Dreaming." Looking forward to her comments.

I owe many people thanks for their help with the book, particularly my husband Gale Strong, who spent several days reviewing and editing the content for me, and Mikaela Schey, who created images and drawing for the book and contributed content to the section on herbs.
