I dreamt last night I swam into your arms, rowing My boat headlong from the dock of an ocean cottage, which in The dream I knew to be my own sweet Eden. But as is so often the case with dreams, I know no such place awake—Ah! I didn’t ever really know you either; was…

Read MoreThe “punishment“ became the gift by Fiona Goodwin
I was born bewildered. At best, not ready for this earthly climb. I must’ve made some brave requests. Before entering this plane. I lived sequestered quite a time.
