Last night, there was a huge storm with thunder and
lightning. I was reading. Then I wasn’t. I could hear the thunder and see the
lightning – still, I had a sense that I was sleeping. “Strange dream” I thought – and then “I’ve
had stranger.”
I was in the theatre I happen to love which has a
wonderful row for people with mobility issues and the most comfortable chairs.
I had a soda in the arm of the chair and a tray of nachos on my lap. I was confused because I was alone and I
NEVER go to the movies alone. A series
of films were presented. Each set of credits were very brief – and only rarely
showed the actors/actresses names. Shortly after the credits in the first film,
I recognized characters from my work.
Each work had its own film. It
was interesting to see the characters and settings as I have envisioned them. I
was surprised at some of the scenes I saw – I know I had NOT written those
scenes. Or at least – I haven’t written them YET. Since there were scenes I was not expecting,
I had a great deal of fun.
When the screen went dark and the lights started
coming up, I saw the Goddess Bhride walk down the row toward me. “What did you
think?” She asked.
“Interesting work, my Lady. I didn’t write all the
scenes that were portrayed.”
She smiled. “True. You haven’t written them yet. Don’t worry.
You will. They may not make the
Director’s Cut, however, you will write them.”
She helped me up (which my husband would do
ordinarily), and hugged me. “You won’t
remember the scenes, you know.”
“I am not surprised. You never make it that easy.”
She threw back Her head and laughed and laughed…and
I found myself literally blown away by Her laughter.
Then I woke up, it was 3:30 AM, and I had to get
undressed and ready for bed and take my night meds.
Unfortunately, I couldn’t sleep after that. I knew that I wouldn’t be able to recover any
of the new scenes, so it made no sense to write. So I finished my book, and caught an hour
nap, and have been up since then.
I’m sleep deprived, and I have a headache. I know I will eventually find my way to those scenes I
haven’t written yet. That’s
Her way of telling me: “Just keep writing.”
