I have a reoccurring dream. I'm looking up into the branches of a tree. The sky is cloudy and the bark is dark and grey almost standing out in silhouette. It is the the heart of Autumn for there are no leaves. I follow one branch that stems from the main trunk and imagine that it's my life journey. The path I am taking. Each time there's a choice to make it branches out into a new direction, a new path. Every choice, every turn, branches out in new direction spreading toward forever.
It changes, it turns it flows like a river, stretching out on the land like a scare. Reaching for an ocean that in itself seems endless. And it keeps reaching over head. It's a map and ever changing ever growing map and I'm compelled to follow it. As the branches become smaller it resembles a kaleidoscope. Twisting and turning. Moving faster and faster and faster until I'm lost in the chaos. Lost in the endless journey that is my life.
