"And if he left off dreaming about you, where do you suppose you'd be? ... You'd be nowhere. Why, you're only a sort of thing in his dream! If that there King was to wake you'd go out -- bang! -- just like a candle!"

"Hush! You'll be waking him, I'm afraid, if you make so much noise."

"Well it's no use your talking about waking him when you're only one of the things in his dream. You know very well you're not real."

. . . .



Every morning I arrive at my office and Bob Hellenga (who shares the 2nd floor building corner with me and who gets to his office between 7 and 7:30) leaves his chair to say good morning. I love this routine; it exists no where else. This week he points to his head and says "It's all over with. Up here." I can hardly make myself clear the desk to begin another day for all the summering in my head, I know. Glenda, Chris, Trystan, and Sage arrive June 1st, just as Trystan predicted. They're going to live in my house for some days before we all go back to the desert. This also exists no where else.
