racoon/dream and hobbes...

: hey!
: hey!
: u a dreamer?
: yeah
: havnt seen too many around lately... thing been tough lately for dreamers... they say dreaming is dead... no one does it anymore... its not dead its just hav been forgotten... removed from our language... nobody teaches it, nobody knows it exists... the dreamers is banished to obscurity... i am tryin to change all tht now, hope u r too... by dreaming... every day... dreaming with our hands and dreaming with our minds... our planet is facing the greatest problem it has ever faced... ever... so whatever u do, dont be bored... its absolutely the most exciting time we can possibly hope to be alive... and the things are just starting...

- waking life

but what hapns when the dream/racoon die? do u wait for another dream/racoon? or do u wait for the same one to come back? or do u look for another dream/racoon while deep down waiting for the old one to come back? or do u just say - "what a stupid world!" and take a shower, eat lunch, get the bicycle out and go cycling to nowhere cause tis a luvly breezy rain-washed sunny day outside... irnoy clearly is the bitterest of feelings... drives u harder than caffeine... u long for the racoon/dream to be around even more in a day like today...

btw, u always already know tht the dream/racoon is not really dead... tis out there somewhere... but not with you... and that makes it dead to you... the knowledge of presence, though un-felt/un-touched heightens the sense of loss...


u wish tht some dreams/racoons will stay around for alwys... calvin got hobbes... but what about hobbes? who does he got?
