These Little Moments

Date: 2/26/2018

Eric invited me out to eat dinner at a fancy restaurant. He went into the second room where I thought he was going to get his salad bar and come back out to this table. He never came back out to the same table so I got some food and set down with all my stuff, seemed like I had some baggage. After quite a while, the waitress said it seems like there is a split, He at one table and you at another, would you like to move or should I go ask him. I thought for a moment that I would like him to move back in here but I didn’t want to upset him. So I gathered up all my stuff and she took my chicken and I went to go sit with Eric. He said oh good you’re finally here. I said well I was waiting in there for you. He said well I’m glad you’re here. He pulled out the chair for me to sit in. I started to put my bags down. The waitress had already set my chicken down. As soon as I had set down, Eric pulled out this list, this plan for Media memories, planned expenditures for the company. I groaned and said oh I thought this was going to be a romantic dinner, not a business proposal. I could tell that I had hurt his feelings. He got very upset. He accused me of not wanting to help him with his company. I said that’s not true, I just don’t like to be hit with things soon as I sit down to the table. He got up and walked away mad. I went to go after him and then... Dream shift All of a sudden I could see a map and across this map there were light and dark points like pinheads. I heard a faint voice say let’s go visit one. All of a sudden I am back when Eric and I were getting married or shortly after and we were so happy. Then I hear that same faint voice Say let’s go visit a dark one. Now I show up at the door of this black man Who is folding up a big puffy blanket made of nylon like a sleeping bag. And he has a circle of people in his house. They are passing around a joint and there is a knock at the door. A skinny black man shows up. The first man says, well you showed up in time, we are smoking a joint. The man had already sat down and taking a hit by that time that the man said that. The circle had at least 20 people in it. At this time I heard that faint voice again telling me that is the devouring lion, let’s go to its mouth. I was taken to another man who was a pilot and yet was throwing his life away by drinking all the time. I said to him why are you drinking so much? You have a pilots license, you could do anything. He said I have no work, I can’t seem to fly my business off the ground. I left him there drinking without a solution. Then all of a sudden, (ugh it’s getting fuzzy) I meet this man who is kind of old-fashioned, he has a ginger mustache shaped like back in the old times. He reminds me of the Duke from Moulin Rouge. In fact it might be that man. Each person in this life has a moment that either turn the dark to light or turns the light to dark. I am going to call this man the Duke. So everyone thinks that the Duke has had his moment and that he is light, but he is not. He has not had his moment. He wanted to fall in love with this one woman who was like the queen or something, but she did not love him. There was a long story involved but she married another man and they had a child who grew into a young adult, older teenager. She was a beautiful princess, seemingly free of the Moment. She was light and when I saw her, I did not think that she could change, but that she was here to bring change. The duke sat in the stars on the swing made of a Golden wrench. He watched the house of the woman he loved. He had become bitter. He had never had his Moment. One night, the beautiful princess went up to him and asked him what he was doing there. The duke started to tell his story, but the princess already knew his story. She had never personally encountered sadness before. She fell in love with him standing right there. He was unaware of what was going on. And as he went on telling his story, she stopped him and said I already know about all that. He said you do? She said I do. He said what are you doing out here then so late at night all alone talking to me? Don’t you know I’m dark? She said, I have come to give you your Golden Moment, I was born for this. And she leaned in and kissed him. And he lit up so bright that he set other lights off around him on the map. And they were married and were very happy. At the moment that the Dukes light went off, The city that the pilot lived in was transformed from darkness to a prosperous tourism town. I went back and said to the drinking pilot, now you should start taking people on airplane tours. He got up and looked out of the window and said, you might be right. I said Your business will take off now. The town‘s name was Concordia. Eodair.
