dream walkings

1997 Hope, Idaho

Today I say goodbye to the Lake and give thanks to She Who Is Most Beautiful. Mother gave her that name and I cannot think of a better one. I found my second arrowhead here last Friday when I came home for Bubbles’ funeral. A wonderful storm came the night before revealing some of the Lake’s secrets so that I might learn a lesson.
I was looking of course – I always am. Scanning the beach lazily for some little treasure. Sitting there in the sweetness of late afternoon Mom and I had just been discussing our impossible dreams. Roger, her true love came down to join us and asked me if I had found any arrowheads yet. I knelt down and looking around I said I thought finding one was like winning the lottery – it only happens once. No sooner had the words come out of my mouth when a dark something caught my eye and I picked it up. I found in my hand this beautiful carved stone gift.
Well if a person can’t understand a direct message like that they won’t ever understand anything.
I give thanks to the Lady of the Lake for her wonderful gift and lesson.
