November 19
• Solena D. got my postcard. The mail delivery people and the mail sorting people and everyone involved delivered (literally and figuratively).
• S. making dinner. As much as I enjoy cooking, I love it when people cook for me, too.
• Synchronicity
• S. getting us tickets to go see Andrew Bird next week!
• Surviving November 18; a day which for me has a long history, and still a few kilos of emotional baggage.
• Changes, transitions, the unexpected, the unknown. My love-hate relationship with all of them.

I am sitting with my back against a very tall cement wall; it looks like a dam. Sitting beside me is my brother. In front of us, there is the open sea. There is no beach; the sea does not go from shallow to deep. It’s as if we’re in the middle of the ocean but somehow there’s a little piece of dry land (against this wall) where we can sit.
I tell my brother that it feels strange to be with him in this place because I have seen this place before in my dreams (this is what makes this dream so strange; I am dreaming that I’m telling him about this recurring dream which I’ve actually had before. It feels so real). I tell him that in my dream before, a huge wave came over us – something massive, like a tsunami. I tell him that in my dream, we are both very afraid, but in the end the wave just comes at us but does not engulf us; it just towers over us and we see it from below. We are completely covered by it and for moments that stretch for what seems like a long time, there is nothing above us or around us other than walls of blue water. The rumble of the sea so strong, we can hardly speak.
As I finish telling my brother this dream, we see a gigantic wave coming toward us, and we brace for what we know now will happen next.
