5336

Sunday--literally! A day of rays instead of rain. But, rains will return.

Odd day! One of the neighbors had a birthday celebration. The common area is right outside my door so there were many people gathered there for hours. I actually managed to sleep through some of it. Amazing! Read some and slept some. Otherwise, I hovered waiting for things to once again be quiet.

I was really logy all day--and still feeling heavy now. Had lots of "memory" dreams last night--dreams about past events in my life--times I was not at my best (or even close). It was nearly endless--like watching film clips where each event segued into the other in a continuous chain. I awoke feeling like I'd been beaten--heavy and dense. Didn't shake the feeling all day--especially when the party blockaded me in my apartment.

I think the dreams were triggered by the PostSecrets (PostSecrets.com) site that I discovered and probed last night. It's an amazing project. People send in post cards that have been modified so that they reveal a secret--something the person hasn't told to anyone. The site displays examples of submissions. The site owner has published several books of submitted secrets. His story of how he got started is amazing in it's own right--he dreamed about the project one night in Paris after buying three post cards based on the Little Prince. In his dream, he was given hints that set him on his way.

The concept is intriguing and really simple. People leave post card "secrets" in copies of his books. There's a "community" that's grown up around his publications. There's also a magazine that operates along the same lines except it publishes "found" communications--it's called Found Magazine. So many interesting things! PostSecrets has had over 100 million visitors! His books are selling near the top of the Amazon lists. What a dream has wrought!
