Monday monday.

Another weekend come and gone. My internal clock is all screwed up again. Damn daylight savings time! :p Had a decent weekend. Got treated to a lot of things by the Rifts boys and my Mom.

Bancroft was lovely this weekend...just pale ghosts of birch and maples holding their gold-orange leaves now, and a dusty-golden forest floor filled with skeletons of branches. When the fog lays heavy over this, it's beautiful. I did a lil' something out in the dark and the fog for Herne, and listened to the absolute silence of the night only seconds after every hound in the area went nuts during the invocation. Mm. There were also a lot of deer along the road coming home...I saw at least five, a black bear, and a fox before I fell asleep.

Mom was so sick when she was here. Drew needed his computer, so she had to come get it - but MAN...I wish she'd stayed home. She wasn't a very happy bunny. We left the boys here with the computer and the Xbox, and went shopping. I am an unabashed clothes whore, so I managed to find things that were too expensive and got them anyway. What's not to love about a sapphire-blue velvet mandarin-style dress? And I love the black one I picked out too...it's slinky. Mm.

I'm hoping this week just flies by. I can't wait for Friday. I can't wait to cook my feast food. I can't wait to go pick out my Halloween candy. :p Big Halloweenie here...and very excited to be out for the weekend.

Ok. I've got housework, crafty bits, and other assorted nonsense to finish, so I will do that.

Dream.

I stand before a door - a wooden door, not unusual, with a old black iron handle. I lay my right hand upon its surface, and underneath the wood there is a pulse, a running heartbeat that pounds through my hand to my head. The drumming is steady, continuous, and does not stop when I take my hand from the door.

In my hand I hold a key - it is also black iron, like the door handle, but pitted and worn. It is old, and has seen use. It has spoken to me of its' life, of the doors it has opened and locked, of the blacksmith that forged it on his glowing orange hearth. I have held this key a long time, but now I stand facing this ordinary looking door with a heartbeat, and I know it is time to use it and part ways.

I kiss the key as I would a ritual tool, and slowly slide it into the lock. A curious note comes from the lock mechanism - triumphant, sorrowful, keening. It is hard to describe. It is not music, but it is...

The door swells and cracks appear across it. Light spills out from the cracks, blinding me. Soon the door is gone, along with the key,
leaving only a familiar spinning void of white on white. It menaces, hanging sinister in this otherwise empty space, and it beckons.

I have chosen. I step through.

I feel myself taken apart, pulled into pieces, dissolving. It is a curious calm that besets me in this churning white void - the same feeling as in previous dreams, when my staring drowned eyes saw nothing and everything. I let it pull me under like the foaming surge at the top of a wave, and sink into blackness.
