Of all things it has been a bad week. Is there something in the stars someone has forgotten to mention? Sick member in household today. It is my sweet stepdad. He is not doing so good. Then I screwed up my computer big time. Also ants. It is one thing to dream of ants. It is quite another to find them crawling up your bookcase in your bedroom. And not knowing where they are coming from can cause high panic indeed. Of all things. We took blackflag to them now i will probably get blackflagged in heaven as what you do comes back to you. Now im sleeping with a spider. Lord Lord. And my bookshelf is only 5 steps away from my bed. I saw the spider had gotten out of my bed and was crawling up the wall and I wanted to shout "wrong way!"
I wanted him to crawl over to the bookshelf. In case the ants came back. With things going on like this WHO NEEDS DREAMS. This is the stuff of nightmares. Well I got my computer back and I still got no e-mail. It has that stupid yellow error diamond in it. I will ask my mom to call best buy and see if I can get it out of there so I can get and send my e-mail. We will have to do it over the phone. I don't know what else to do. Sure does get me down. I miss talking to my brothers and sisters and friends. I imagine they are wondering why they haven't heard from me by now. Ah well. Either that or call my son and write down the steps to getting the error thing out of the incoming mail. I think I can send. But the recieve box is all tied up. Im scared to try to restore it besides that wouldn't work anyway I dont think. I sure don't know nothing about e-mail. It is ridiculous.
I read a book about Wallace Black Elk and it was a wonderful book. A lot of things that he describes I think are happening to people all over the world naturally like and they don't know it unless their dreams give them a hint. Like while your sitting reading a book on your bed or in a chair a little spirit is hopping around you. The book is by William S. Lyon. I sure hope it is happening to people anyway. Us white people dont know sings and stuff like that and sacred objects or how to make them. Perhaps the great spirit also sees our pitiful religions we make up and then believe and I hope he will take pity on us cause we dont know nothing.
ahhhhh. Today is June 24th. Only 9 more days until payday. I wouldn't worry about it so much accept I sprung for an adventure. I bought 2 tickets to the Joe Cocker concert tonight. Of all things he is playing in this little bitty town called Hotchkiss, Co. The name of the concert is "At Home with Joe Cocker", and I conned my mother into going with me. My mother is 80 years old. I sure hope this does not undo her. It is not very far to get there. Maybe an hour and 1/2 depending on the traffic. Generally you can drive to Delta in 40 minutes and Hotchkiss is only about 20 miles beyond that but I am thinking of the traffic which could be horrific. Shoot people from Denver could be coming down for that one. People could be flying in at the airport and renting cars who knows. Their are only so many cars to rent in this small town though. Lord the gas too. What an effort. I hope we don't have to walk over a mile to get to the stadium.
I am reading another book. This one is called "Secrets of the Talking Jaguar" by Martin Prechtel. Lord I love these kinds of books. Not enough of them are written. Or they have already flown past the days they were popular. Copyright date for this one was 10 years ago. I am 10 years slow. I remember Carlos Casteneda and Don Juan. The first article I ever read by Casteneda was in an Esquire magazine in a small motel on the Navajo Indian reservation in Shiprock, NM. I was 17 years old and working at the motel. My family lived in Shiprock and it is my alma mater. I graduated from the high school in 1967. Hooo Raah. I am surprised I graduated at all. Looking back it was never a question of running away from home as I would have missed my family far too much. But there were times I sure did want to. Where would I have gone I wonder. California no doubt. The sea no doubt.
The dreams I have been having have been of the same subject matter every night now for awhile. I won't go into them in detail because I just wont. Strangers abide. Floods and water. Money and the possibility of it being stolen. Jobs and no jobs. Two jobs and two paychecks. My father my mother and brothers and sisters. I never hardly ever dreamed of my father who died in 1975. A surprising and drastic blow to our family. He was a young 55. Now I have taken to dreaming of him though he is often hovering in the background as part of the setting. Complete strangers being in the foreground. Buses and trains going down the animas valley when the animas river has flooded deeply over its banks. Stepping stones across the flood that lead to cliffs with ledges and handholds in precarious positions so as to go on. Delicately we make our way down the valley until somebody realizes at a certain point that the water is perfect for swimming. Smooth and green we dive in and swim together. The water is smooth as glass.
My e-mail still doesn't work. Oh woe is me. My son is coming up in two weeks. His name is Guy. I sure hope he can fix it and show me how in case it happens again. Oh woe is me.

Last night we went to see Joe Cocker. YEAH JOE! We sat way up high in the bleachers. My dear old mother who is 80 years old went with me. We sat with this crazy crazy fun woman. For awhile there I thought she was going to get in a fight with this guy sitting down one row to her right. While the warm up band "The Subdudes" were playing. After a half hour of this she started shouting "JOE, JOE, JOE....WE WANT JOE." This guy below looks at her in disbelief. "Whats a matter with these guys?" He shouts. (You kinda had to shout.) She yelled back; "OH DON'T PAY ANY ATTENTION TO WHAT I SAY. DON'T HOLD IT AGAINST ME JUST LIKE I DONT HOLD IT AGAINST YOU FOR THAT SHIRT YOU GOT ON." And she reaches down and pinches his shirt and shakes it.
Geeze I thought the fight was gonna be one. He really glared at her like get your hands off me you bitch. YIKES! I thought. I looked at mom and she looked like a concerned little old lady. I started laughing the whole thing was so ridiculous.
Anyway that lady was up and down and all over the place when Joe came on. Before he sang some dude got up their and was thanking person by person all these people who helped to put the concert together. He goes and a special thanks out to Ron Williams and this lady goes. "OH YEAH I LIKE HIS NAME YEAH RON!" And really starts whistling and clapping. Finally Joe came on thank God and really put on a show. My mom sat like a stone thru it all. Poor thing. Dragging her out to go see Joe Cocker. But her foot was tapping a little.
So I get home that night and here is my dream. The first thing I do in the dream is go back to work after going to a Joe Cocker concert. All my workmates want to know how it was and I tell them fabulous. People were talking about it in my boss's office. My boss seemed to be Patty this time. An old boss of mine from long ago. I don't have a job in real life. Just in my dreams. They told me Joe was an artist too and look at these anatomy drawing that he did. They rolled these pencil sketches out and they were done beautifully. I said WOW, that's way cool. Then my boss said "How are your anatomy drawings coming along Vee?" So I take mine out from who knows where and begin to unroll the group. The first few are crude and ugly. Then they begin to shape up. Im shocked at the last one cause its very well done. I cant remember doing it. On the left side of the drawing down around the lower intestines and directly opposite the belly button are two small lumps. One attatched to the other. They look like tiny organs. I wonder what they are. For some reason they concern me.
After waking up I came to the computer room and try to find those two small tiny organs. There is nothing on that side but the spleen. It is high up. This concerns me because at the concert my side was hurting low down from sitting so long I thought. Perhaps its something else. It has been hurting me for awhile now. The concert wasn't the first time I ever had this pain. It has been with me now for about 4 years. It is a little bothersome when it comes but it only comes when im stressed or my body is rigidly stressed in one position for too long. hmmmmmm. I dunno. Just interesting.

No remembrance for last night or the night before on dreams. This gives me a chance to write about a dream I had when I was 24. Several thousand years ago. heh heh. Back then I was working for the Bureau of Motor Vehicles in Columbus, Ohio. I worked with this black girl named Donna. She had a dish shaped face. Very beautiful. She had honey colored skin and a smile like Farrah Fawcet. We became good friends and she wanted me to be one of her bridesmaids in her upcoming wedding. Her people were extremely wealthy and she was marrying a wealthy boy from another family. They lived in a white house way out of town with white pillars and the whole show. I dont know why but I stressed over their wedding gift. I love giving gifts. I go nuts at Christmas and spend my whole paycheck. It was only 3 or 4 days til the wedding when I fell asleep and had this dream.
Donna and I were in a the drive up lane of a dusty old correl. Their was an immence barn behind us and wooden correls both to our right and to our left. The lane we stood on led to the foothill of an gigantic volcano shaped mountain. It was night but the moon was out which is why we could see all the stars and the sillouette of the mountain. I fessed up to Donna. "Lord girl I dunno what to get you for your wedding gift." She shrugged "It dont matter."
Suddenly we heard a far away rumble. We looked at each other frightened. "What was that!" she said. Having no idea I stood their listening. Then it came again only louder. It sounded like the drum of the earth. It came again and the ground started shaking. So did we and we clutched each other tightly. "Oh Donna, lets hide quick!"
We ran for the barn losing our footing on the shaky ground. The boom was still getting louder and louder and coming closer and closer. We opened the big barn doors and slipped inside and bolted the latch by sliding it into its casing. Then we continued to shake.
The booming and shaking suddenly ceased right outside the door in the correll area. Then their was an eerie silence. Just nothing at all could be heard. This went on a full minute. Both of us scared beyond belief. Suddenly something told me it was allright. I slid the bolt back and Donna tried to stop me from going out but I whispered, "Its allright I think Donna."
I tiptoed out into the night and tiptoed to the lane in the correll. I gasped. Two white horses stood their in the lane looking at me. I grinned and tiptoed up to them. That is when I recall being barefooted. "HI! I said. "What are you guys doing here?"
The one on my right spoke first. "My name is First Horse and this is Second Horse. I am a gift to you. You may ride me." I said; "You are perfect as a gift for my friend who I do not have a gift for; can she ride you instead?" First Horse smiled. "Yes, and you will ride second horse."
AOK. Until I looked over at Second Horse. He was glaring hatefully at me. His head was lowered and his ears were back. He showed his teeth to me in an awful grimace. I told First Horse with trepidation; "I don't think he is going to let me ride him."
First Horse said; "See this silver chain around my nose and neck in the form of a thread of life halter?"
"Yes I see it."
"Reach up and take it from me."
I reached up and touched the finely threaded chain and it fell off into a puddle in my hand. First Horse continued. "Touch Second Horse with it and form a bridle with the chain." But when I turned to Second Horse to touch his nose still scared wittless he tossed his head way high up into the sky and stamped his foot growling. The earth shook again.
First Horse said "Just touch him with it." So I slapped the chain against his shoulder and immediately his head came down to bridle level so when I moved the chain up his neck to his nose it formed like magic into a bridle around his resistant features. Instantly he was transformed into a placid animal.
I called Donna out and we both mounted. She climbed onto First Horse and I on Second Horse. We headed for the mountain where I could now see a trail. Every step they took boomed with thunder and lightning spread out from their feet. Every step they took they crushed rocks that crumbled and slid down the mountain.
The trail led up the mountain in a lighted zig zag path. A lightning trail. At the last bend in the curve I saw a great light ahead as our destination but then I started weaving with sleepiness. I passed out going up the final stretch.
