• A Dream of a Color

  I’ve been a little blog-booked out with all these book and flower adventures myself for now. I would like to quietly read Pride and Prejudice before bed, and let go of the blog a bit…A Dream I Had: It was my birthday in the dream…You said, “I am giving you the color Orange.” I said, […]

• dream of a home with the lights out

  a man wanders into my dream; i sit up from the floor and say, “i just fainted.” he looks at me and says, “what?” his dog bounces around on the leash lunging at glimmers of light in the dark room. “can you turn on the light, please?” i continue, “i am afraid.” he says, “you […]

• Dream of You Dancing on the Beach

  I found myself stressing little decisions of normalcy and possible ways I was annoying people just before bed, and instead of a proverb or a chastisement came…You…dancing on the beach, and it was summer there. 😊☀️🏝. I realized your identity was not perfectly defined, and my view of you was a little blurry as you […]

• The Dream of Your Ex

  The dreams I’ve had with your ex, you are not in them, and he’s floated in…And he is unusually still, like a potato on my counter-type of presence, does not speak—any conversation already begun, stops. He seems to operate by a different law of gravity. I never met the man or spoke to him either. […]

• “Your Name”

  (a prose poem) by Jade Nicole Beals I’d loved your name as soon as I’d seen it, like I knew it would be yours. One night I dreamed you, it was finally you, I see you were pretty envied for how beautiful you are, I wanted to be your friend, and let the jealous have […]

• Little Gifts So Sweet

  

  Updated this post from Friday, October 21, 2022 I just returned a random library find on the shelf called The Border Lord and Lady, I was in the mood for another non-deep or tragic, petite thick paperback type novel or stories, the kind professors would scoff at but there could be one among them that […]

• A Dream Definition, An Apple Suggestion, and A Cat with a Full Repertoire for His Paws

  

  After I wrote yesterday evening, I dreamed some invisible being wanted me to know very directly and with great importance, yet in true life the line is metaphoric: “You are in essence a fairy woman, and you are meant to be with apples often.” I set up a bath ready with apple slices: two slices […]

  Well, I felt today my way through mixing up and shuffling and throwing posts off the blog for too long and realizing this should just be as it is now… I’d felt Miss May letting me see kindly, look, that is enough now, hands off the blog, it is a form of fidgeting, but better […]

• “The Pinnacle”

  by Jade Nicole Beals There was a plea from you to forget the scales as the music fell from all around you, and little cue notes drifted into my sleep, like windows in my dreams looking out, and you smiling through you as you know you are the dream come true, the scales returning to […]

• My Dream of a Paper I Didn’t Request but Read Anyway

  I dreamed last night I had a few printed pages given to me by an unspecified fortune teller, predictions I did not ask for, but ‘here it is!’ I see. On the front page, it predicts that I am most fond of the Full Moon…and there’s an illustration of a very big round and bright […]

• That is True

  I don’t see you anymore, so you come into my dream (not saying you choose to do this), and you tell me a bunch of things in the night, and I listen until probably a little past midnight when it’s been sufficient for you. I am fully asleep and rested. It’s been a few nights […]

• A Dream from This…

  

  I begin my dream I will hope to fall into, with the scent of the beach soothing me, surprising, such sweet suntan lotion warmed by the sun by my hands, in a book I’d found, softcover… and step into this photo I took tonight, the simplicity of night, white flowers, like jasmine flowers, the evening […]

  These little yellow flowers flown upon the breeze landed on my lap tonight; I liked them…After a little while, I placed the strand of flowers in my purse to take home. Just a moment before the flowers, I’d realized I’d found the wrong edition / format Rumi for me, but it looks like the right […]

• “The Reddest Leaves”

  Don’t talk about the dream aloud, so I see that little brown, glossy-coated bear running low to the ground and coming toward me in the solitary, unmoving morning air, beside the outside gate of the swimming pool, and in the dream, I consider, if I don’t glare at the bear, if I act kindly, it […]

• Last Night’s Dream of Thay

  

  Yesterday night, I found out my favorite meditation teacher, Thich “Thay” Nhat Hanh who was also an author and poet, had just passed away at age 95. I’d first found him 14 years ago and soon after I wished for a copy of his book Peace is Every Step, and read it fully. Last night […]

• Last Night’s Dream I Had About Yoga

  

  I had a dream about yoga last night, but I don’t remember the dream, just the subject. And I didn’t like the way the two poses I’d photographed for this post felt either when I tried them again. What did I do today? Watch me actually answer that: I completed a sonnet that was thought […]

• Poet Byron with The Moon

  

  Byron might like his book and the moon together… My reflective review apart from my moonlit window: These are poems to soak up and drink in, beautifully somber and purely light, with repeating motifs in the “Fragment” poems and “Stanzas For Music” poems, perhaps going along nicely with French Classical composer Gabriel Fauré’s piece “Romances […]

• It Vanished Quick; It Was Already With Me

  

  That dream…I remember it, of course, but before sleep or dreaming, we met for another literary salon, Tuesday; I had an insight about literary opinions, critiquing, or sharing that I’d found: but before that I’d found sometime ago the same thing, a secret of prayer that can be more healing for the one praying, quiet […]

  The little green one hundred year old book on the right is the book I’ve just read last and reviewed recently on this blog, The Faery Queene I by Edmund Spenser. I read his apologetic humble note about the book in the introduction after I’d completed my review and it made me feel that maybe […]

• A Profession I Am Not Pursuing and A Dream to Match It

  I like to write poems and sometimes read them aloud. And enjoy a restful yoga night. I may paint another canvas soon. I hadn’t liked the way these pants fell, but I wasn’t crazy about them anyway but comfortable ‘loungewear’ and you will see why I don’t think that I should hem your clothes at […]

• What Could Be Done With A Dream, Including A Bad One

  I’ve enjoyed thinking about my dreams and finding ways of understanding and appreciating them without demanding meaning from them. I’ve found my own remembered dreams would inspire poems I’d write or fit into ones I’d already started writing. I wrote yesterday of deciding to not watch the movie The Prophet, which features the poet Kahlil […]
