Description 1998 Tuscany

"Thursday
(October) Night

A DREAM: Still dark...No Home No Country No Where...
(In the dream) I am in a boarding house somewhere. I am alone though people are scattered in beds around the room. A woman. She undresses in front of me. The space between us stretching out like a vast chasm...last cigarettes burn in the dark. Her eyes catch mine for a moment. The room becomes a cathedral of loneliness and longing...

i wake

I don't remember where I am. 
When was it when I began not to remember? 

I AM STILL A NOMAD....
yet waking

NO HOME - NO COUNTRY - NOWHERE

WHAT IS THIS SADNESS THAT ISN'T MINE? 

like the sadness of God...

Verona..."

to have our sense of place... of belonging... of purpose wholly removed
is both terrifying
and freeing

Sojourners.
Just passing through.
Except it isn't just.
The passing though matters.
Because I matter to God.
So does the passing through.
Vanity, vanity, all is vanity says the preacher.
And that's just fine.
Even the vanity matters to God.
To live life to the full is his gifts in this vain, mad world.
Because he made it and loves it even as he judges it.
The struggle continues.
So do life and hope.
Our world belongs to God.
Thank God.
Amen.

I don't know what 'tifu' stands for, but thank you....
This was one of those things that just sort of happened on its own privately in a page never to be seen. THen when the right opportunity arrived I thought it should come out. It ended up being one of my favorites....

so, thank you again...

not knowing where and to whom you belong is a terrible feeling

Thank you....I guess it's the depths that cause one to work, more than the highs....That dream in particular just hit me at that time. It woke me up in fact. I scrawled those words down on something at the bedside then had to get it down in a form that tried to capture it with the shreds of things lying around... and just for the record.... I am definitely a person of hope. I guess that's why I'm really comfortable recording sadness and longing.... thank you again (as always)

So personal yet so touching. Something that applies to something everyone feels at some point in their lives. I'm almost there. It relates and therefore touches me.

Are all your private journals this amazing? They're so beautiful...But kind of...They're private to you. They seem so sad, and lonely.

If you have more, please submit! I (along with many others, I'm sure) would like to see.
