Time to wake up

I need to go up to wake up Jaelyn so we can make it to school on time. Before school was an every day thing for her -- she woke up every day by seven a.m.. Sometimes earlier. Now she won't wake up if I don't wake her.

It would be great if at several key junctures during every day, you could wake up again, you know? Emerge from the tedious reality that your day becomes into some new reality?

You know how the rules of dreams seem so totalizing and exhausting sometimes. And what a relief it is to wake up and realize that it isn't true after all?

What if we kept realizing that over and over?

It isn't true.

Wake up.
