" The Dream" - January 25, 2016 El and I appeared in a dream. We were in a dale filled with mist. She began to walk slowly toward a motionless bank of heavy fog about 30 feet from us. She was healthy, slim, quite young looking and beautiful. She stopped after a few steps and turned toward me, her eyes looking deeply into mine. She was smiling warmly to reassure me that what was happening was her destiny. She turned and continued walking slowly and gracefully toward the fog, her silk gown swaying gently. As she neared the fog it began to glow, brightening with each step as she approached. At its brightest moment, she entered. The fog closed about her. The brightness slowly faded. She was gone. I awoke grieving for her.
