Vulnerable
I had a nightmare last night. Â It wasn't different than any of my other more strange dreams. Â I was getting through it like I do most others, trudging through blue mist, watching precious things vanish from my very hands. Â Suddenly, my father came down the stairs to wake me up. Â "You, ok?" he asked. Â I was surprised. Â
I was surprised for two reasons: 1) that I had been shouting and 2) that someone had come to check on me. Â I apologized for troubling my dad and disturbing his sleep. Â I later I had an epiphany. Â This may not have been the first time that happened, the nightmare, but this was the only time that someone had taken a moment to check on me in a moment of vulnerability - with one exception long ago... Â
