My Dearest Pillow,
I've been thinking about you a lot today. I keep recalling your welcoming embrace as you gently cradled my head and whispered "sleep some more..." and I so wanted to. I wanted my unruly bed head hair to remain nestled in your pocket of protection. Sleep is the perfect answer.
For a day that seems unremarkable. Plain even. Nothing going on.
Oh sure, I have things to do. But I will always have things to do...
So, why not return to your comfort and dreamy illusions of more interesting places? Where I can be both queen and peasant. Both beauty and beast. Where I can fly and bears can speak. Why is reality so damn boring by comparison? Or maybe a better question is why are my dreams so compelling?
The trees are blooming outside. It is unnaturally warm. Tonight is a full moon. And not only full, but a lunar eclipse as well. Will I abandon my warm sleepy comfort in thy downy fluff for a glimpse of a moon that will be slowly shadowed in red?
I hope so, but if we are having the dream about the canyon and my spread wings again, all bets are off.
