Dream 01.25.2024

I wake.

The dream, I was visiting my sister in a far away familiar. She had traveled there. There were old friends of the family intermingled.

Old neighborhood breakfast places existed there as did old neighbors, childhood friends, people from the island and away.

At first she seemed so glad to see I had stumbled upon the place.

Received me and we went out to dinner.

Strolling afterwards to a shop that was filled with linen clothing and accouterments made by a hipster religious sect.

Every one was friendly and welcoming in the shop and an old childhood classmate stumbled in as well.

My sister needed leave to get to a lunch. I said I would follow later — she looked annoyed but remained polite.

The old classmate. It was so good to see him. He was one of the ragged golden boys off from a term at military service.

We laughed and hugged and discussed this strange land — filled with much from home but not home.

The shop master appeared — they had a dog that needed a home, they brought me to her.

A Shepard golden retriever mix. She ran to me.

She was around two. Still puppy energy.

I told the shop master I would take her. That was going to call her Farrah and that I would be back for her after I found my sister.
