The Revised Edition of our Christmas List (the TRECL)

Our Family Picture, Taken on Eid.

Tis the season to be jolly, or so thay say...

every year at this time, before the trees start to be murdered for our homes, and the lights go up to increase global warming. We gift-buying-people dread going into shops, the shops that blast out the same x-mas tunes every year. Theres proberly a cd out there that they all buy, its called ''catchy (like the flu) x-mas tunes for stores''

now i had a delightful telephone conversation with my brother, a few days back. he stated that his first dream gift is 500 pounds, but since he knows we aint rich, he will send me a list of wish items, with the prices next to it.

I have not yet recived this list, maybe it will have a 1000 items by now...

Anyway here is my revised edition of our cristmas list,

another world, another planet

had another strange dream last night, it was so strange that as soon as i awoke i felt as though a part of me remained there. Its true what they say, as you get older, its harder to recall your dreams.

I seemed to be on another planet, in the dream. The sky was a bright blue and full of kites flying in the wind. The grass a bright green, soaked with a morning dew, it was like earth.. but different. The ground beneath me, was moving. Not like a shaking, but like a tread machine. This planet was round, you could see the roundness, the stars below us. Houses on this planet seemed to float above the ground, but when you walked up to the door, you were walking on nothing. The people on this planet all wore stripey helmets. Even the poor who dressed in rags, had helmets. I don't think i did anything specific in this dream, i just explored my surroundings. i remember going in to a house, and looking down off a balcony, and the grass was moving, beyond the grass was a huge drop. At the bottom you could just see stars.
I also went on a picnic, where every 10 Min's we had to pack up and move up the hill, otherwise we could fall off. And i realised the kites, was actually people. I had a go, you seemed to be strapped in to nothing, as the lines and seat were there, but also not there. the ride flung me in to the sky and around, and around. Like I was flying.

A Good Wedding Cake

4lb of love
1lb butter of youth
1/2lb of good looks
1lb sweet temper
1lb of blindness of faults
1lb of self forgetfulness
1lb of pounded wit
1lb of good humour
2 tablespoons of sweet argument
1pint of rippling laughter
1 wine glass of common sense
1oz of modesty


Put the love, good looks and sweet temper into a well furnished house. Beat the butter of youth in to cream, and mix well together with the blindness of faults. Stir the pounded wit and good humour into the sweet argument, then add the rippling laughter and comman sense. Work the whole together until everything is well mixed, and bake gently for ever.

First paddle!!

Omer had his first paddle in the sea, in Marazion, Cornwall.

Heaven

I had a dream the other night, that was so beutaful, and left me feeling so calm, i thought i should write it down before i forget.

In my dream,
I saw a man at the foot of my bed, it was dark in the room, still night. He was tall tallest man I have ever seen maybe 9ft or higher. He was wearing silver clothes and had long hair, I don't think he had a face, I can't remember. I just remember his hair and broad shoulders. He was just all silver, and in a angle, sort of breezy.
I was in bed, he said ''Come with me, I want to show you something''
I didn't say anything, but agreed and got out of bed, tucking the blanket around hamza, and followed the silver..man.
We came to a place of such intensity, I can't describe it, it was so beutiful, so bright and calm. I felt so peaceful.
There were these floating balls, of different colors, some colors I have never seen before, they were moving around, some faster, some just gliding, and everytime they colided, gently. They made the most beutiful sound, so the whole room was filled with this beutiful sounds, not music, but like a choir.
The man then spoke, he said to me ''These are souls.''
He spoke then, about time, future, and forgiveness. He said time is not a straight line, that it is bent, twisted and even broken. He told me that we don't have much time, we meaning people. and we must hurry to finish everything before its too late.
He also said you must forgive all the ones who have hurt you, and as he said this I felt something poke me. I knew then there was something I had to do.
After a long time of talking, he take me back to my room, where Hamza was sleeping. He said that he would see me again and then I woke up.
I woke up with a name in my mind, someone who had hurt me, and I sent a email saying, I forgive you.

musings

sometimes to get the perfect drawing, you need the right paper and the right pen. other times its the situation and any carving tool becomes just a outlet from your mind.
cooking is similar, i find baking a cake is like sketching a sketch - you don't need much thought.

it rained and rained

Orange Sky

I dreamed of a house with one floor. The ground floor had all rooms, lots and lots. The first floor was a park, it had a a big blue lake, a gushing loud waterfall, stone grey pillars with a beautiful pink clematis trailing over them, and lush green grass, hills, flowers and trees with fruit. The I dreamed that i was in a big big house, now when i say big i mean very WIDE. It had just 0ne ceiling/roof was a big glass square dome. The sky was a deep orange as the sun was setting.
All my grandparents where there, and busy doing things they normally did. My grandfather Les was moving stuff in the garden, planting, digging etc.
It was beautiful.
Reuven and Yoey was there but older, my brother was a tall lanky lad with a beard! and was busy carrying wood and stuff around to help. My sister Yoey was helping my mum to pick mango's and put them in baskets.

strange dream

I dreamed that i was sleeping and dreaming, of me sleeping and dreaming.
Then in the dream of me sleeping and dreaming, I woke up in this dream to find a spider crawling up my leg.
Then I woke up in the dream of me sleeping, and I looked for the spider, and found it under the sheet on the side of the matress, it was posionous so I squished it.
then I woke up from my dream, as I felt someone poking my shoulder. But no one was there.
