Terrible Speed

Keep your head up. Keep your heart strong.

I woke up at dawn shaken and scared. One of my sore wisdom teeth was pounding in my head. I couldn’t get rid of the sense of foreboding and danger that gripped me.

Then I realized that it had been part of the dream, but even then I still felt a dark figure was going to emerge from the shadows and hurt me. 

The dream was something else. It took place in a house, where there were no doors and every room had a couple having sex in it. It was animalistic and emotionless. I was in one of the rooms, doing what everyone else in all of the rooms were doing. But at the same time, I was a dark, ominous figure making its way through the house. It was like I could perceive reality from both perspectives. The figure passed by each doorway, observing the sex, and building a kind of rage. It finally came to my doorway, stepped through the threshold, and shot the man I was having sex with. Just boom! And he lay dead in my arms. I could feel the life leave him.

Terror ripped through my soul and pulled me out of my slumber. It held on to me. It felt so real.

Our entire economic system is on the precipice of changing, but our politicians will not admit it until they have no choice. You’ll see. How do you think human beings will evolve? They change. Our values are just as susceptible to change as anything else in nature is. We are a part of nature! You wouldn’t believe it by looking at the world today, because we think we’re above/outside of it, but we are most definitely products of nature like anything else.  If we keep violating the fundamental balance nature requires for creatures and life to exist, we too will go extinct. Nature will take back the life it’s given us and start over. It doesn’t care.
