Dream...
I had this dream....when i dont remember exactly....maybe last night.....or earlier....or maybe it wasnt a dream....maybe i was thinking in my sleep....but i guess even that would classify as a dream....so anyways.....it goes a follows....
On a small island an elephant was roaming around....doing lotyagiri....listening to 'floyd - echoes'....and singing along....'Overhead the albatross ....Hangs motionless upon the air And deep beneath the rolling waves ....In labyrinths of coral caves ....An echo of a distant time ...Comes willowing across the sand And everything is green and submarine. '
and then he looked up....and he saw an albatross flying high....well it seemed high for the elephant coz he had never been so high up....and the albatross looked down and was fascinated by the elephant coz it had never seen such a big creature...what followed was this short conversation
Albatross: Hey there!...i liked the song u listening to....it seems about me....do u know me?
Elephant: Hello! ah i like this song....but not sure if it is for you :)
A: I think it is...
E: okay....if you say so ;)
A: :)
E: So hows life up there?
A: pretty good.....you wanna experience?
E: well...am not too sure....if i can....i haven't grown wings yet...
A: maybe i can help.....
E: you think you can....(well....he thought i never flew...that must be exciting)
A: if you want to.....i can (the albatross was too awwwed by the elephant to deny)
E: I wont mind...
A: but where will we go...
E: anywhere...everywhere....we have the whole world....
A: but someday if i can't carry the burden....i might drop you....and there might not be an island below....just plain ocean....
E: well....i think once u pick me up you will realize am not that heavy....
A: but maybe i will someday fly away with other albatrosses...and i wont be able to carry you....
E: but maybe you can.....or maybe you can some with my herd...and you will fit in quite well...(not able to understand why he wants this to happen....not able to understand why the albatross doesnt want this to happen..)
A: ummmm....maybe we can first just fly and decide......
E: ummmm.....okay...maybe we can first just fly....
and so....the albatross picked up the elephant (mind you it wasnt a baby elephant...i mean even a baby elephant wud have been big for the albatross)....but it picked the elephant up quite easily....and they flew away....
they didn't have any particular place to go to....so they just flew around....on islands.....ships....cruises..boats....just the albatross with the elephant tied to it as if it was made of paper.....it seemed light......
they spoke about each others experiences....on the ground....in the air....
they sang along.....each others songs....
they landed when they wanted to.....and flew again.....
the elephant saw how it felt to watch the sunrise from the sky....on the horizon.....and how good it felt....to see it setting.....deep in the ocean.....how good the breeze felt when it was with the albatross......
the albatross....learned a lot from the elephant....what to do..what not to do when on land....and sometimes...even how and which direction to fly to......
but there was a peculiarity....on each island or ship...or wherever they landed.....the albatross would ask the elephant that maybe he could stay behind....or else....if they fly again it might drop him in the ocean....coz they never knew how far the next stop will be....and how long will the time be till the next stop.....and if it can carry the elephant....or if actually wanted to carry the elephant....so it always gave an option to the elephant...not really wanting to do this....but it seemed the nature of the albatross.......
but the elephant was always reluctant....well...he didnt know swimming....ok....he thought he had swam once in the pond back home....so he was ready to risk swimming in the ocean if the need be....but somewhere down in his heart (well his heart must be really down...i mean his body got lotsa space for things....) so....somewhere down there he felt.....that the albatross wont do that...but somewhere in his small head.....he knew it could happen....but he didnt care....
dunno if he was actually weighing the options.....or if he even knew that he had options.....dunno if he reasoned with himself.....but well .....he just wanted to fly.....maybe he thought he would grew some sorta wings just by flying with the albatross.....(only he knows maybe)
well whatever...they just flew.......again.....
and then fortunately i woke up.....so i dont know if they flew again....or for how long.....or if indeed the albatross did drop the elephant......but it was a beautiful dream.....(i mean the background scenes...and background scores....were phewww...amazing)......
but....i wont like to dream it again just to see the ending.....i mean i wish i dont dream this again....until it is time that is.....until the buzzer goes zzzzzzZZZZZZZZ........
though sometimes my impatience might get the better over me.....but still i would hope my dream weaving machine would not churn out the end for me until it is time....
and so... i will wait....
