I had this very vivid dream towards morning – that I was with a group of people and we ended up having to jump off a cliff, a very steep cliff. I was standing the whole time – I hit a bump that jolted me, then kept going, very fast. I hit the ground, on my feet and rejoined my friends.

Can dreams be interpreted if details are sketchy? We do with what we have. I think this dream has to do with the book project and just how uncertain things are. Seems like there are so many ups and downs.

The fact I landed on my feet is maybe an omen or a premonition, meaning that everything will work out. Right now we need for our volunteer coordinator to coordinate, and for competent people to step in and do the work without having to be assisted.

And so, my day progressed. I took Hrimmi for a ride down the road. My plan was to get all three mares out; instead, Pete and I ended up spending time brushing Raudi and Tyra. The weather, that is the heat of the sun and the sunshine was conducive to this.

By then Hrimmi was back in the larger enclosure. I began brushing her with a brush with long tines and she stood there clearly enjoying this. Usually mugs for treats.

I concluded the horse activities by cleaning Tyra’s smaller enclosure and the larger enclosure. Now’s the time – the packed down snow is breaking up, and the water is starting to flow. The magical part of spring is almost here.

We took off this afternoon, went to Anchorage and visited our friends Judy and Brian. We went on a walk with the dogs along an almost punchy trail, which was paralleled by a meandering creek – the water was moving fast. Ryder and I stopped to check out ducks in a large eddy.

Good Easter dinner – Pete had made a flourless chocolate cake. He got it right. Lemon Meringue pie evades him.

Then after dinner, we watched the end of a series that we’d previously watched, “Cemetery Road.” The final two chapters were long and there was a lot of suspense and violence.

Ironically, there is a scene in which the heroine and the child that she’s rescuing must jump off a cliff, into water below. In a way this coincided with my dream. The two landed and dropped below the water’s surface, then made it to shore okay.

The heroine had been through a lot, and in the remaining time she endured more. What parallels, I wondered, could I draw from my dream and this movie scene? The answer is that risk taking is risky. You don’t know what the outcome is going to be.

The steady eddy influence right now, in my life, is Pete who is as overwhelmed as I am right now. What we need right now is some very good luck. A huge financial donation would be a help. This way we could pay our operating costs and get going on a building project. I think the best we can do is build across the street.

Maybe now I have worked through the dream that I talked about in the above dispatch.
