do you ever have those really vivid dreams? the ones that are so normal, and so real, when you wake up you go "WHA?!?" i had one of those last night. it was awesome! here is what i remember...
1. it was summer time and i was at Obon/J-town.
2. food was everywhere and it was awesome.
3. there was shave ice. red shave ice.
4. i had a brand new made for me Yukata... it was white and had little colorful bobby pins printed all over it. i also had a red Obi and some brand new zori. (since it was hot there was no need for tabi!)
5. Taiko! (little known fact: when i first hear taiko, no matter where i am, i feel like crying, i am so happy)
it was the best dream i have had in a long time. it was so good, in fact, that when i really woke up, and realized that i am no where near any of that goodness, i proceeded to cry and go back to sleep. i know i complain a lot about how i don't like living in Virginia, and it all sounds so boo hoo baby of me, but it's been really hard on me here. So Cal is a most forgiving place, and it accepts all kinds, and even there sometimes i feel like a sore thumb. so, one can only imagine the isolation i feel here. i just hope that this is our "penance duty station", and we are made to live here so we can appreciate where we have been, and where we are going... and i pray that we are getting out of here.
on another note, the wee dragon ball is moving around. started yesterday. continued tonight... and so it begins...
