In the beginning of the dream the force was an angelic figure. I was wanting to write a response to a letter to the editor I had read. A man had written in to berate welfare mothers as sluts with lazy live in boyfriends.
I was mad about it and had been trying to compose an adequate response without being too defensive. So I stood before this angle and asked her if this was not a very important mission.
She said no. I was sure it was the wrong answer. And was all about leaving. That's when the plummet started. And the fear. It felt like a dark force.
I do think it was some ego, self important, problem that I had to confront and admit I wasn't going to change anybody's mind about women and children on public assistance.
