Silver Sea

Dream #4: Vast, sunny boardwalk. I'm with my 2-year-old niece. We're at the top of a huge set of stairs looking out across the water.

The waves are shimmering. The sea and clouds are endless. It is warm and calm and yet I ask, "Is it scary?"

Lately my niece has been exploring the concept of "scary". In the dream she is unafraid of the expanse, whereas I slightly tremble. I simultaneously wish to share and protect her from the wonders of this life.

Last week a relative of mine passed away in a tragic accident. (May his spirit be at peace.) I have been reflecting on death and afterlife.
