December 6, 1997
It's 2am 
I just woke from a deep sleep 
Vivid dream 
Sitting in a theater 
Waiting for movie start 
I was young 
Late teens 
Two beautiful girls sitting behind me 
Their mother too 
I listen to her harass them 
The youngest of two closest to me 
With eyes I sympathize 
Drawn by her innocence 
The dream context changes 
Enter two thugs and woman in tow 
Largest demands my seat 
I stand 
Debate of run to authority or conflict 
Violence seems inevitable 
I awake 
Heart pounding 
Mind filled with rage 
Thoughts of fighting 
Even awake he intimidated me 

What brought on this 
Why must conflict always be inevitable with emotion? 

Earlier tonight I went to pharmacy 
Peruse the magazine rack 
Find one that does not belong 
Wired 5.02, February 1997 
No other issue of the mag there 
It's the George Lucas issue 
Sometimes I can not help but feel I live an enchanted life 

Arriving home I read the article 
He speaks of intellect and emotion 
The evolution in humanity 

"If you watch the curve of science and everything we know,
 it shoots up like a rocket."
"We're just as emotionally illiterate as we were 5,000 years ago;
so emotionally our line is completely horizontal."
"The problem is the horizontal and the vertical are getting farther and farther apart."
Well said 
He is such a great man 
And still true to his heart 
I think of Puce 

Tonight I bought music as well 

Beth Orton 
Listening to it now for the second time 

Bad news learned 
Brian recently introduced me to new audio landscapes 
Crafted by the artist Michael Hedges 
Night 'for last I got to tell Brian how much I enjoyed the sound he lent 
Now the man who made them is gone 
A great loss
