I’m arriving at a retreat center at the edge of the mountains on a lonely saltwater bay on the Olympic Peninsula in Washington State. It is quiet and peaceful here. I’ve arrived early and intend to stay for a full week. It is Sunday morning, and the folks who were...

I’m playing one on one basketball in a huge public park with a young man. The ball is a bit flat, so I tell him I’m going to find a pump and put some more air in the ball. As I walk through the park, I feel sort of listless and dejected. I’m tired of playing...

I’m with a bunch of friends in line for a Jane’s Addiction concert. My life has been so routine and boring lately and I’m looking for a shot of adrenalin! I’m psyched! I get to the front of the line and a man asks for my concert ticket and my ID. I hand him my ticket...

I’m a philosophy teacher here at this large university here in California. Lots of sun, Spanish style roofs and white stucco. Flowers and beauty everywhere. Really a paradise. I have been teaching here for a very long time. I like the school, the campus and the...

I am out in a remote desert area that looks a lot like the surface of the moon. There is no vegetation that I can see. Just rock and dirt and dust on a hazy gray day. Except next to me on my right is a small lake. I walk alongside the lake, and even the lake itself...

Had a dream last night where I was in a class and part of the curriculum was to regularly go on long drives and while we are on our long drives, we were given a box of jewels and instructed to open it. I love drives on long lonely stretches of road. Sometimes I will...
