Wrong Way


Last night I dreamt I was swimming.  Swimming, swimming, swimming trying to swim to Mexico.  And I kept pulling a 10 pesewa coin out of my pocket because it had an arrow on it that showed me which way to go. 

Finally I see lights.  And I see a fenced in compound all lit up maybe with barbed wire around it so I keep swimming until I come to a group of young adults sitting on the shore and I go up to them, explain that I’m trying to get to Mexico and ask where I am.

The girl looks to the boy who says “Someone’s gotta tell her.  You’re in Canada.  You went the wrong way.”  And I just stood there wondering what to do next because I had plans, maybe some epic swimming the world adventure, but now I did not know what to do because I went the wrong way and swam to Canada and not Mexico!

Then I woke up to the Call to Prayer.  But all I could think was how clever my mind was, what a curve ball my own mind just threw at me and how dumbfounded I was in the dream.

How does one make such a huge mistake?


Where is my Grandmother Willow?
