Do you dream of a different sort of world? I do
I lie on my back and dream of warm days and rainy nights that smell so fresh,
Sometimes I dream of different animals, a centaur maybe?
Talking to animals that listen, that learn our patterns, like dogs,
Racing around with lions and tigers, laughing and playing,
And how about being able to fly?
Care to fly like a bird, swooping and diving? Or
Try underwater breathing to play with whales or tiny seahorses?
I would love that.
Only now, I sit up and think about dusting the dust away,
Not really my thing, but every distraction has to end somewhere!

My To Be Read List
I have been taking some time away from writing. I haven't forgotten about Vocal, the truth is I just have been too busy pursuing other things to write online and honestly, my little family and I just had a really hard month between the flu and a weird eye infection/cold circulating our house. I'm currently sipping some warm peppermint tea because my throat is sore.

If only we didn’t have to dust off those nice kinds of distractions! Love this, Ruth 💕🙂
Oooo, I would love to play with tiny seahorses! I don't want this distraction to end!
Lots of nice things to dream about in there.
I daydream about that kinda thing a lot. This was very clever and made me think of each thing you mentioned. Took me away for a couple of minutes! Love it!
