Too many low, dark moments lately!<\/p>\n<p>Last night I dreamed of my childhood, and woke up rested and happy. I was playing in the back of the school bus we had on our land. (Yes, there was a real yellow school bus by my house growing up. My dad converted it to a greenhouse and grew sprouts there that he sold to local health food stores. Lots of stories to tell about that!) In the dream, it was summer, and I could feel the warmth of dry, brown grass on my bare feet. I&#8217;d lost something in the bus, and was worried about how grimy it was in there. But I felt warm and content, filled by the sunny possibilities of my childhood summers. The feeling stayed with me after I got up, got ready, gathered my things, and went to the corner cafe to write.<\/p>\n<p>Today is the first day of spring, and I&#8217;m feeling a shift toward the warmth and color that lies ahead.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I don&#8217;t remember the last time I&#8217;d seen a rainbow, and then two in one week!
