Silence... Sometimes A Better Composition Than the Best Music

I have so much I want to write about tonight. My head is swimming fast right now, trying to prioritize before my fingers finish typing.

Last night I had a bizarre dream. I was at the ocean and I was wearing a wetsuit. The water was a deep deep blue, not the usual brown stirred up water that you usually see at the beach, but the water you would see several miles off shore. The sun was low but neither rising nor setting, and I was compelled to swim out past the waves to a cluster of icebergs. On one of the icebergs was a woman, also in a wetsuit, teaching a class on the distinguished varieties of penguins. I saw at my feet two penguins, one a puffin and the other an emperor penguin. I clearly remember naming the two out loud to the teacher and marveling at how close they would let me get to them. Then, all of the sudden, I was startled by a stirring in the water. Just beside the iceberg where I was standing swam a large narwhale. I jumped and became afraid because I had never seen anything like it before. It had a huge horn sticking out of it's head that I thought it might stab me with if it got the chance. I had only heard of such things existing. Never before had I seen one. I watched it, though, as it swam speedily towards the shore where it heaved itself onto the land. I swam back to look at it and decide whether or not I would, or even could, help. I was too afraid to go near it though. It was just too strange and fearsome looking for me to approach. After that I woke up. I was in awe of my dream so I spent a while on the computer trying to find an image of a narwhale to make sure I wasn't crazy. I found this. That picture was almost exactly what I saw in my dream, only its horn was a bit longer and more distinguished. It also seemed rather large. But it's dreams like these that make me wonder what I've been thinking. I haven't heard of or seen a narwhale in years, but my dream drew it perfectly. I don't know sometimes.

Work today was slow going. We only had 9 cars and I only made $25. That's just not enough. I need to do better than that. If the job keeps on yielding such low return I might have to find a new one. I hope not though. This one seems very accommodating.

Ya know, instead of finishing all the things I had to say, I think tonight I will just sit in my silence and digest it all a bit further. I have learned to appreciate more silence as of late. I listen to a good bit of music on a daily basis, but sometimes it is good to make a change. I'll talk to you tomorrow perhaps.

Peace and love.
