Dream 6 [Life after Potholes], About Dream 6 [Beset by Genki"s] - from Cheryl Penn (with authentic Dream Fragment)

Have you ever dreamed that you were falling into a pothole? Have you ever imagined what would happen then? No? Well, in this case, Cheryl did it for you. Her Dream series is growing in complexity and twists, and the poetry that comes along with it is ever so unique and sharp and chiseled.
We are still orbiting around Her and The House, but the picture is getting more and more blurry, not enough to feed Memory.

This is an extremely colorful Dream, but not necessarily a feel-good one. Illusion, Fragment, Demolishing, Exit....
Blueprints are being issued but we can sense that it might be too late. We are already sitting in Train of Thought I5 and we have absolutely no idea where it is heading to. Cross fingers...

(My favorite part of #6 is the Dream Fragment, she couldn't have found a better photo!)

Aaaand, I'm sure you have all been waiting for it for a loooong time. Yes, the Genki"s are here! And don't they look fabulously genki?! :-)) She said she would do it, and she did! I just love them from head to toe (if they had such things). Once you are beset by Genki"s there is not much you can do, you have to live with them. The problem is they are down the rabbit hole more often than not. So they'll ask you to follow them down there, whooping and hopping or flying, depending on your mood. You'll have to bear with them, they play poker a lot, and not necessarily with the rules you are familiar with. They have their own language and you often won't get it. Just remember, they are genki"s, they want only the best for you. Or do they...

Dream #6 comes with a bonus track, Dreaming on Planes, perfect vispo IMHO, and a great way to complete this very vispoetic series. Cheryl, you are the most interesting and talented Dreamer I know. Keep on Dreaming, keep on Dreaming!

Grown up. Oh yes. As grown up as the one in his undies ;-)))

Yeah, I've just been pretending to understand, I thought it was something like Spice Girls- girl power! But obviously in a more grown-up way!! ;-P

Good morning genki"s!!!

Genki = enthusiastic, lively, according to wherever I looked it up on the web, Diane. But never been sure, and hope Marie will lay out the true meaning in full.

Wonderful Cheryl-the art dictated itself to you! The falling dream was interesting and positive I guess, because I fell from a great height but somehow didn't get hurt and had a perfect gentle landing. Can you tell me what Genki means again?

Cupcakes...me there, too! Really dreamy art here, Cheryl! Beautiful blog and fascinating reading, Marie.

Seen any Greek or Geek Genki???

Yep, those gold-falling-stars really happen

whenever a Rod Summers envelope comes! Wheeee!

Diane - any happy landings??  Or just Free Falling? Just by the way - that thing with golden stars REALLY happened - Rod Summers sent me an envelope filled with them and as I opened the package they burst out.  The event  found its way into the dream... :-) X

Oddly, last night I dreamed I was falling. Now I know that I was after Cheryl's cupcakes (equally noteable are Cheryl's cookies) Such a beautiful series--yet spooky too

If there are cupcakes down there, why not... count me in.

Rabbit hole or pothole, once you are there you will find a labyrinth to explore! He who dares ... Cheryl dares! Do I, sometimes ... I love among other things how the scribbled texture interact with text and form..
