A Dream? 05-07-19
It was early morning or was it evening,
the ominous sky made it hard to tell. Sunlight seemed to pierce the
dense clouds… Was it rising or setting? Rain sprinkled down in
short bursts, as if someone was vigorously shaking the trees, freeing
the gently clinging droplets like cherries – deeply reddened;
over-ripe.
The building, houses, chimneys and
limbs from what preservation of trees there were (and lack of light),
made for us to have to crouch low to the ground in order to service
the engine on the antique trash pump. This pump was a gift for
various reasons. It had been stored for 15 years. It was presumed
that the ownership would prove to be temporary – We will see.
The basement was filling with water,
submerging the mechanical for the well. We were in a hurry, but the
fuel system failed… and time ticked on as water continued to slowly
fill the room. Crouching around the machine, we removed the air
filter cover to get to the carburetor. As if by magic, the cover
raised from where it had been laid (the ghost that haunts me?), only
to hover in the area I worked on the engine. Was I under so much
stress that I was imagining this?
Out of desperation to continue and
not to alarm Julie, I said nothing; moving it out of the way. Had
she noticed?
Just as I wondered if it was my imagination, the cover raised again! Julie still said nothing – blinded or in disbelief, or was she even still there to see?
I never looked over my shoulder.
Again the part rose up to the motor,
almost as if I asked it to in order to hold screws?
An invisible
helper?
I moved it again. Several more times, this part annoyed me
– to the point of anger and frustration. Moving it farther away, I
continued working on the pump. And then I felt words for a sentence
in my mind: Fine, if you don’t want my assistance, you may become
destroyed.”
Just then, there was a rumble in an
upward distance in my mind and I panicked. Unbelievable! How could
I get so deep with trouble here? The well, the sump, the pump –
What did I sign up for?
The Evil that seems to lurk here! I can
feel it all of the time. The harder I try, the more fighting I can
feel against me. My face is literally bruised with the blows from
the dark world and demons. Is this one of them? Looking skyward, I
saw a red meteor or comet hurling towards me. There was a trail of
smoke, and its surface was dark red, mottled with blackness between
the flames: as I searched for a place to hide, it was too late. Just
then, I awoke in a sweat. It was just a dream or was it? Or is
there an Angel trying to tell me that they will help, if I let them?
