I think it was this curiosity about the natural world which awoke my early interest in science.
We awoke one morning in September and the world lurched on its axis.
I slept and dreamt that life was joy. I awoke and saw that life was service. I acted and behold service was joy.
I've had quite a lot of luck with dreams. I've often awoken in the night with a phrase or even a whole song in my head.
