Constellations

So lately I have been having dreams involving my stressful life. They usually are very realistic and almost always have to do with something going on at the moment. However, last night I had a different kind of dream.

My sister and I went on a trip to Cancun and we walked over to a beach and played in the waved for hours, just laughing the entire time.

That was my entire dream.

It was so simple, so relaxing...so different then all of my other dreams that I have been having and I feel like it might be a sign from my inner self telling me just to sit back and laugh a little bit more and relax. The feeling I had in my dream was absolutely amazing...I loved seeing my sister so happy. Maybe I need to plan a trip for her and I.

Dreams are great...they can open your eyes even when you thought they were closed the whole time.

Constellations By Jack Johnson

The light was leaving in the west it was blue
The children's laughter sang
skipping just like the stones they threw
Their voices echoed across the waves
its getting late

It was just another night
with a sunset and a moonrise
not so far behind
to give us just enough light
to lay down underneath the stars
we listened to papa's translations
of the stories across the sky
we drew our own constellations

The west winds often last too long
but when they calm down
nothing ever feels the same
Sheltered under the Kamani tree
waiting for the passing rain
clouds keep moving to uncover the sea
of stars above us chasing the day away
a way to find the stories that we sometimes need
Listen close enough and all else fades
fades away

It was just another night
with a sunset and a moonrise
not so far behind
to give us just enough light
to lay down underneath the stars
listen to all the translations
of the stories across the sky
we drew our own constellations
