Incarnate
“There would be no more poverty, no more wars, no more famine or disease or any kind of suffering. Tall graceful buildings shone above the wide streets full of smiling people, fields and forests glowed on the hills, rivers glittered on the mountains. She climbed the highest mountain and stood on a rock amid the dazzling snow and ice while mirages of all the cities in the world came riding the clouds for her to see. Each one looked perfect, each one made her feel even happier. She knew she was dreaming: she had to know, to be able to dream everything right. She would have to dream everything constantly, never letting up for an instant; she would have to dream everything in the world simultaneously. Now she could feel the indescribable burden of all that responsibility, the strain of having to sustain that dream and then she realized that was what she was doing. The idea was so terrifying that she woke.
Thank God it had been only a dream—but she wasn’t in her room.
