I stand in the surf,
on the shelf of the beach~
walking towards shore,
a rogue wave tumbles me,
tossing me around like seaweed~
until I stumble to my feet,
now further from my destination.
Each time I stand I am knocked to my knees~
Is the tide pulling me out,
or am I resisting...

The dream began as I closed my eyes.

arms linked like a bride and groom perched atop a wedding cake.

An entire year sits before me.
What shall I do with it? How shall I make use of it? In what shape will I form it? In what manner will I live it? How deeply will I love it?

I have a couple of gripes, sorry for posting them: sometimes I can't help myself.
First: What happened to unbiased reporting?
I seem to remember there being a basic tenet of of news that reporters were to report on the news to the best of their ability, to show all sides, to dig deep and figure...
