dreamy

i woke up this morning from the most satisfying sleep i've had in a long time. i had the feeling that i had just been dreaming the best dreams, but couldn't for the life of me recall what exactly it was about. but the overall sense was this: i was flitting about--being a bit of a bricoleur--and it kept occurring to me to LET THINGS UNFOLD. in a literal and figurative sense--and what kept happening (this is the murky part) is that flowers (like lotus flowers) made out of paper (newspaper?) kept blooming. like i would walk by a mess on a table, instinctively try to clean it up, then i would consciously think 'let it unfold' and the mess would bloom into a newsprint flower. hmmm.

funny because i work at a newspaper...and i think the connection is this: i need to use this job and this time in my life to serve my higher purpose--instead of always thinking about it in this way that it is *preventing* me from doing what i really should be doing. it can get me there.

last night i made a vain attempt at sewing something that has been flitting around in my head for a long time. i think the idea was a little ill-conceived, and it is official that my sewing machine SUCKS. really bad. so, universe of the internets, i'm putting this out there: i need a new sewing machine. specifically a Singer UX 20 143. not that i'm picky or anything.
