In the dream my spine awoke. I leant against a man I didn't know and space opened up between each vertebra, like a domino run in reverse. Life coursed in and joy with it.
I walked into a temple, looked for a space and was directed to a seat between the monks. So happy to be there. My old guru cast jewels of infinite wisdom from his lips. I was delighted.
Outside, cherry blossom erupted on rain-black branches. I lifted the dead stalk of a wallflower and found perfect baby leaves beneath.

Beautiful. What an opening line; 'In the dream my spine awoke'. Makes you feel warm and content. Loved this.
