Listening to a song tweeted by someone in the morning. Arriving at a new town by lunch time, when and where the same song is played at the local church's bells, for the whole downtown to hear it (and it's an oooold song).  Afternoon, walking on the streets, I read the same song's lyrics written on a store's  vitrine. 
Dream about a black panther and go online looking for a picture to blog it. Find some articles about racist black movement with the same name, and it's been many years since last I've thought about them. In the evening watch a movie on TV where the black panthers movement is mentioned as a threat.

A black female panther lying with 3 cubs on my way to the toilet. Cautiously I walked around her and could manage to close the door behind me. 
On my way out, mother panther walks elegantly pass me and I see a chance to pet her cubs: one yellow, one black, one white.

You Take the bus, you get on the train, rent a car, you take an air plane. 
You push your bags around.  Sleep on the train, sleep on hotels, appartments,  you almost don't know when you're awake. 
You talk French, English, Portuguese, risk some Swedish, some Italian. 
You give away information about the subway to women in burqas on Switzerland. You hear a Portuguese explain how rooms are inside the buildings in Portugal. 
You see midle-east war and tragedy on every television, your hear about it in every different language and dialect. 
You want to go home, to feel safe, but you stay.
Because home is not exactly safe and because here is not exactly foreign.

Dream

The castle was in possession of communists who were letting me know I had to go through "some changes". Every powerful person was communist and I had to scape.
Running to the castle's gate and helped by the servants; one tall black man and a long black haired young woman. I could always count on them, they said, before I jumped to the other side of the gate.

There is a possibility this property will be remodeled to accommodate workshops and housing for artists, as well as a brewery. Let's hope for it to succeed.
