“The trouble with having an open mind, of course, is that people will insist on coming along and trying to put things in it.” Terry Pratchett, Diggers Wednesday Quotes: Literature and Media Inspire Us Beyong Our Wildest Dreams

Cruising the Edge
“Ships at a distance have every man’s wish on board. But cruise ships are totally out of the question now. We’re never going on one of those again.” Eli Grober
“Ships at a distance have every man’s wish on board. For some they come in with the tide. For others they sail forever on the horizon, never out of sight, never landing until the Watcher turns his eyes away in resignation, his dreams mocked to death by Time. That is the life of men." Zora Neale Hurston: “Their Eyes Were Watching God”
Travelling has for the moment been relegated to dreams for most of us. I immediately thought of this photo of a “ship” I took this January. Then I remembered a wonderful series of children’s books – The Edge Chronicles, by Paul Stewart and Chris Riddell, with tales of sky pirates who travel above the clouds in ships made of buoyant wood.

Perchance to dream
Dreamland. The undiscovered land? Perhaps. At least, the not-quite-(yet?)-discovered land.
What do these furballs dream of? Do they dream at all?
And how about stones? Do they dream?
Dreaming: Going through a door … but which side is dreamside?
The important thing, though, is: Let your dreams outlast the night.

In the summertime when the weather is high
Dreams adapt, it seems. And become simpler.
Around the corner. A pool. A playground.
The right company.

What purple dreams may come
I found this fun guy in a pedestrian underpass in Lüneburg, Germany. He was the only worthwhile creature on an ugly, smeared wall full of tags and badly written slogans.
A bit later I met him again, this time on a distribution box. I’m sure if I had had more time to spend I would have seen him even more often.
From the same town a simple quote – “Let your dreams outlast the night.” As long as they are not nightmares …
This is for Monday Murals.
