Currently, I'm reading/listening to a book called Lirael by Garth Nix. It's amazingly creepy, suspenseful and so so beautifully written. If you haven't read his work, I highly highly recommend it. But only if you're into high fantasy/sci-fi/dystopian futures.
Anyways, Lirael deals with a line of folks called the Clayr, who have the Sight, or the ability to glimpse into the possible futures. And I've been thinking a bit about how in our world, there is ancestral knowledge in us to Feel and perhaps even See things that have been and might be.
I think back to my own family where I know of relatives who have told stories of dreams and premonitions coming to light. I've noticed a recent upswing in my perception and have been listening in more closely to that niggling feeling I get in my stomach when things are about to Happen.
Ok, so I've been having pretty vivid day/dreams lately, and I am convinced that some of them have an actually possibility of Happening. I don't think that things just Happen--I believe that we--or in this case I--have a heavy hand in shaping what my Future will be. And I'm at the point where I'm motivated enough to take risks I wouldn't have previously entertained.
Maybe my ambition was just taking a break these past few years.....
