Achieving Happiness

Last night I dreamt that I was walking with two small children, one was a little girl, maybe two years; and the other a young boy, around four.

We were walking near the embankment of some strange reservoir where the water flowed angrily like a river or a waterfall. There were massive rocks lining  the cement embankment, and they were made slippery because of the moss and lichen that grew on them.

In the dream I felt very worried — I had with me two children; and it was the most important thing that I had ever done; to be walking with two fragile beings, innocent of the cruelties and terrors of the world, helpless and unable to defend themselves against anything, tiger, drunk driver, dengue-carrying mosquitoes, war. I felt cold and sweaty at the same time, and I clutched their little hands so tightly they sometimes cried out in their baby voices.

I woke up crying; and I don’t even know why.

I haven’t outgrown introspective music. This is what I call music that makes me think about the way I am and why the way I am, on my own and with other people. The music I like best (or find necessary)
