Great entry! It has to be the common consensus that we all like chocolate the best, judging from the entries and my own palate. And I can certainly understand your trying to resist when you know there's a chocolate bar in the place. It happens to me, too.

Sincerity, especially toward oneself, is the best healer of just about everything, and your entry shows your sincerity.

I'm so with you on this. Without hope, no life would be left that could matter. We need hope like a pain-killer, be it for a short time, so it can carry us over a hurdle.

Hi Bernie

I am happy that you become lucid when you must. I remember how awful nightmares can be.

Yes, I might go to these sites but , if I really don’t understand my dream message, I run it past my daughter. She knows me best and we both might brainstorm with others. And it might be her dream venue.

I wish I had started keeping a dream diary when I was young. A lot of my dreams are just "movies" but to have written them out, maybe I might've seen meaning or parallels. I've always been fascinated by those who have dreams like yourself!

I also have some lucidity to my dreams, mostly when they're really scary or something I don't want to deal with it. I don't have them often, but I can tell myself this is a dream and I want out and I can wake myself up. So I'm glad for that.

I will definitely check out your link! I appreciate you posting it! The Edgar Cayce dream dictionary, do you still use it/find it helpful?

There is more than just a dictionary there. I hope you find some answers for your self-discovery.

Great entry and Wow! Amazing that you dreamed about that horse! Then, maybe it is not, since the idea is--according to quantum whatever-- we're all connected.

flake

I am a flake
and melting FAST.
I know this form
will not last.
when I am a puddle
and I look in a mirror
will my image
reflect my fear?
or curiosity?
Is this my shape
or merely a
part of the
footprint
I landed
in?

What might my
next form be?
I could be mud
and turn to brick
or evaporate
to a cloud
that's thick.

I might be a flake
again.
or perhaps a
drop of rain.
Until the change
is forced on me
a flake
I will
remain.

I SAW MY SHADOW
On the kitchen wall
Wait… something
Looks
Odd.
It’s a
Left
shoulder slump
Others
mentioned it.
My drill team
Coach
Random
Shopper
Where I
Cashiered.
My left
Hand was tied down
By a conserned
Grams
To force me to
Use the “right “
side.
But that wouldn’t
Deform me
I had lung infections
As an infant
Perhaps
It’s the result
Of unfinished
Soul
shadow work.
Is this
Physical evidence
Of neglected living
Or too much
Giving
Is it possible
At 73
To change the
Shape of
Me
I
Believe
I can
Starting
Today
I will be
Conscious
Stretching unused
muscles
in my
body
mind
and
spirit.
I will
Post a
Message
To the future
Me
Look
At my shadow
“What do
I see?”
Are my
Shoulders
Straight?

Always alert

Ascent my sails
Leisurely ease.
Point my bow to

"Blog City Prompt Forum"

Prompt: Candy
Do you like candy? Is there any difference between the candies that you like in hot weather and cold weather? Write about your favorite candies and any memories attached to them.

I do like CANDY! Every day of the year, works for this one. Hot days can get messy but I’m washable.
My favorites are those expensive chocolates, individually wrapped. I love the sound of that crinkle just before the aroma escapes the packaging. It’s exciting and my mouth is watering. I like to savor that flavorful essence, at least momentarily before I offer the sacrificial tidbit through my lips to my awaiting tongue. It melts too quickly for my taste. Soon, it’s a memory. I lust, wanting more. When I am strong, and that’s often, I push the desire for more back. I can be resistant at times. It’s not always easy but, I have been known to think of other things when the chocolates are in the house.

Day 3650 November 01, 2024
Prompt- When you sit down to blog, do you outline what you're going to write or do you just free write and let your thoughts take you where ever?

I am a free spirit.
I go
where I go.
Sometimes,
the wind
takes me
to where
the
energy’s
low.
Then,
at the
last moment,
if creativity
won’t grow,
or perhaps
it is
flowing,
but, ever so
slow.
That’s the
moment
I follow
a plan.
It doesn’t
Really matter
Because
I am
what
I am
a free spirited
writer.
That’s me,
in a can.

People were talking today about the word "Gloaming", and how good it feels in your mouth to say it. It reminded me of a retired professor I cared for in one of my Adult Foster homes. More than once, while waiting for a meal, she would stare out the window and recite this poem. I could see that she too truly enjoyed saying that word.

In the Gloaming
by Meta Orred

In the gloaming oh, my darling
when the lights are dim and low
And the quiet shadows falling
softly come and softly go

When the trees are sobbing faintly
with a gentle unknown woe
Will you think of me and love me,
as you did once long ago?

In the gloaming oh! my darling
think not bitterly of me?
Tho' I passed away in silence
left you lonely, set you free

For my heart was crush'd with longing,
what had been could never be
It was best to leave you thus dear
best for you and best for me

It was best to leave you thus ..........
Best for you and best for me ......

DAY 3247-- October 7th, 2024

Prompt: forgiveness
“Forgiveness is a strange thing. It can sometimes be easier to forgive our enemies than our friends. It can be hardest of all to forgive people we love.”
Fred Rogers
What do you think about the prompt and/or do you think forgiveness is always a solution to problems?

I want to be forgiven for my misdeeds so my mind tells me I must forgive others for theirs. But sometimes, many times, I find myself not willing to let go.

Does forgiving mean it’s okay with me what happen? I am not okay.

I am not okay with greed or injustice. I am not sorry!

I am NOT open to forgiving a murderous heart.

I can forgive you for your judgements of me because I have made many of them, judgements. But I find it impossible to forgive those who judge others for their life situations. They don’t have a f…..ing clue the desperation, disappointment or situation that say a refugee has faced. My GOD can’t we Americans show some mercy?

As an afterthought, I feel I need to point out that it is unforgivable to judge others for their life situations when they seem to live "higher on the hog" than us. They have their moments of desperation, disappointments and pain too. We don't know where their blessings came from.

So for this week
