so i took a nap
It’s a nice rainy, frizzy-hair day. I don’t have class until 4. I slept in til 9, took a shower ate breakfast (ORANGE JUICE) and decided i wanted to just lay. So i took a nap.Â
And while napping I had the sweetest most wonderful dream i’ve ever had in my life.
It was the summer, there was a slight breeze. I was walking, in a foreign land, through some sort of a village with no roads. I came to a shady tree underwhich there were about 10, 5 year old children and a man. The children were playing a game and the man appeared to be their teacher. Â
He was sitting down against the tree facing the children, who stood up, facing him. They were playing some game that required gramatics in sentence structure. They spoke french, and I understood. My dream was all in french.
  I stopped to watch.  One of the little boys completed a particulary difficult question and i spoke to him as he went to take a seat. “pas mal,” i said. At first i didn’t think he heard me.  But as he joined his other classmates he looked over at me and whispered to them that i knew how to speak french. A little girl, blonde hair, big watery blue eyes looked up at me and said, “pouvez vous parlez en francaise?” (you can speak french?) and i replied, “Mais, oui….un peut….” (yes a little).Â
The man looked up at me as if I were the fist real life woman he’d ever seen before. I walked over and sat down next to him. He began to tell me that they’d been playing this game all day. He agreed with my amazement at how the children stayed interested in such a thing for so long, but a game is a game. The sun was setting and there was still a slight breeze. We continued to talk, forever. Just about anything. Like best friends.  Everything started to haze over and fade out, I consciously realized that my dream was ending. But I remained talking to this person, who i instantly felt was an old friend, comfortable as if i were home. Â
I woke up and now I’m sad. He’ll visit me in my dreams, but won’t come to me when I’m awake.Â
