When the “Extraordinary” is Really Ordinary.

My fiftieth year had come and gone, I sat, a solitary man, In a crowded London shop, An open book and empty cup On the marble table-top. While on the shop and street I gazed My body of a sudden blazed; And twenty minutes more or less It seemed, so great my happiness, That I was blessed and could bless.William Butler Yeats, Vacillation, IV

Last Night, I Had a Fantastic Dream.

It was probably the best dream I've ever had. My grandmother had rented a  pool and the area around it at a fancy hotel for no apparent reason, and I was allowed to invite everybody that mattered to me in my life. My grandmother and mother lounged next to the pool, drinking fruity beverages and talking to other family members. They watched the hotel bring a nice selection of hors d'oeuvres and kept an eye on everybody.

All my friends were in the pool, as was I. My sister clung to my side like she always does when we're together, and when I could escape her, I swam away from the steps to get into the pool and around to see what everybody was doing. All my friends were laughing and having fun, playing various pool games like volleyball or just doing something to entertain themselves. My best friend, Amanda, sat on the edge of the pool, her legs in the water, eating and talking with another good friend. Alyssa, Ash, and Rhamah were all together again, talking. I remember watching Alyssa splash Rhamah starting a playful splash battle between the three. My crush was playing volleyball with some of my more athletic friends.

Near the end of the dream, I went out with two friends and my sister to look around the area. When I returned, I remember seeing everybody smiling and enjoying themselves, and the picture looked the same without me in the pool as with me inside it. I watched my friends return to the pool, and I put my arm around my sister as I woke up.

Never have I felt more alone than I did when I opened my eyes.
