Pax Somnium

I had the most wonderful dream last evening. My family and I were having a traditional picnic -- basket, blanket and everything -- on my mom's property a little ways from her home. As we were setting up, Lamont remarked how wonderful it was that there would be no more terrorism or wars or bombs because everyone in the world had simply agreed that it made no real sense in the end. All the weapons had been dismantled. As I sat there eating my cold chicken, reflecting on the world, it occurred to me that I was different too -- I had let go of the anger and hurt and resentments towards other people I had been carrying around. I felt an overwhelming sense of peace and realized that everyone else in the world was feeling it too.
