a moment in a dream....

what a powerful dream i had last nite.
well.....actually....a powerful moment in
a dream i can't remember.

i was helpin' out in a facility with the
elderly. and i helped a man out of his
wheelchair into a chair.

as i moved him from the wheelchair, he held
on to me so tightly. so tightly i can still
feel it...
and as i was holding him, i knew he was
hanging on for more than just the support of
not falling, he was hanging on because he needed
love. he needed to be touched, he needed to be
needed. he held on for dear life. he held on
to feel life, to get life, to know life.

and i can't shake the feeling of that dream.

i have no idea what it means....
but i'm gonna indulge again this morning and
go take a hot shower! my psychic phone booth!
maybe i'll understand the dream when that hot
water is pouring over me.

but even if i don't get it....
i am just so profoundly moved that i can still
feel that man holding on to me.......
and how totally weird....but i'm still hanging
on to him too.....
