Family Dreams

A Chapter by Soulfulbubbles

Ideals are delicate dreams of how we want our reality to be.

The error is to assume what we want is our actuality.

The family dream was the sputtered spread of peanut butter and a balanced layer of jelly cut perfectly in half and served with rice n' Ketchep Manis. The family dream was the gentleness the ocean scented stars and damp sandy playing cards colored in with forest green prettiness.

A dream of a home with

Kind nurturing fingers,creative openness, and secure belonging

in the small corners under the great and big everything.

Truth here is a detonation of these fragile things, so today these ideals

have become destinations.

With my family I can not change the cruelty, the betrayal and moral repulsiveness, so instead I will create anew the meaning of family and home.

Family will not mean terror, abuse, abandonment, or violated hopes.
