ReplyDeleteWonderful work Steph, and a golden globe. I was reading your statement about dreams, the dual realities of day and night. I was wondering if you ever have premonitions, or experience other Phenomenon. You seem on the one hand, a very
ReplyDeleteorganised, and practical person, yet your Art and Writing suggest that of esoteric mystic...?
You're not the first to have commented on that dichotomy of my existence. :)
DeleteIt's just that I've always have an healthy scepticism towards mysticism, but always keep an open mind to experiences I have personally encountered in my life. during my childhood I would sometimes have on occasions "Déjà vu", probably like many people, it would flash into my mind in a wing beat, dissolve again just as quickly, but you could never prove it ... In my late teens, and early twenties I had a few premonitions in the form of dreams, some of them you could loosely interpret, that would sort of fit the circumstance of a few week later. most we're not very conclusive, apart from one, about a year ago, when my daughter was trying for a child, I had a very vivid dream early in the morning, I saw my daughter quietly siting up in bed, and I saw her expression, it was one of being very relaxed, and a slight smile on her face. Knowing that a that she was very stress with work, and desperate
ReplyDeleteto conceive, (since she was thirty five) I wonder why she was so relaxed then, then the penny dropped the she was pregnant. When my wife woke up, I told her about my dream and to remember the date. Two days later, my daughter phoned to say she was pregnant, and the early morning of the very same day, I had the dream, she had a tested positive with one those kits, and was waiting for her husband to wake up, to tell him the good news. I did not tell jenny about my dream until she had told me what day she had found out about her condition ... If I had heard anyone else's story of this kind, I would always be a little sceptical, but when it's one self, for me, it's evidence that's there more to life than has yet been discovered by science ...

This is absolutely stunning. Beautiful work!
