Love's Dream

Recently I was up at Muhu Tasen, and one of the Native men was kind enough to include me while he was telling a friend the legend of how strawberries came to be.

I will not dishonor him or the legend by telling it here, for it is not my legend to tell...but I will say that strawberries represent love and a united relationship.

The story then reminded me of a dream I had back at the end of February...the morning of the 28th. It involved the man I loved sitting watching t.v., me eating strawberries and jam on Roman Meal Wheat bread, offering him the last juicy strawberry, and then sitting next to him and leaning over to kiss his heart.

After relating the dream to that man....we got back together for one beautiful, loving, heart filling day out...and just as soon as the next day, it was all over for us. It was as if nothing had happened, an illusion...nothing more than a dream.

I'm not sure what I am trying to say here....it's just how I saw the relationship of strawberries and unconditional love in my dream come into fruition (no pun intended) for one love filled day in my life.

My sadness is that, I do not have the option of continuing in that relationship, in the manner of goodness & love that I have experienced. That the love I did experience was very like a butterfly...elusive.
