Morning team

I hope you're all well with the beauty of the recent full moon! I had a very vivid tribe dream this morning that felt like one to share...

I was with my husband in the Amazon basin, close to the river, when we could hear a rumbling in the far distance, and realised it was a flash flood. We looked at each other and I said "Well Shit" and instantly knew what it would feel like to be caught in the water with all the detritous, trees, insects and all of it (NOT how I planned to die 😂) and then we remembered at the same time there was a kind-of hotel near where we were which was really tall for a reason. So instead of giving up and letting ourselves be swept away - a really seductive and much easier idea - we ran for the big, wooden hotel. It was beside one of the tributaries, and as we ran we were yelling, warning people. There was a big bell on top of the roof which someone started ringing, and I could see that in the kitchen there was a big red button which was an emergency stop so all the gas and power were turned off immediately. There were steps on the outside as well as inside the beautiful wooden building, and we all gathered on the roof, a platform built for that. When we got there and looked back, we realised there was some kind of ... almost magic in the way this tributary joined the larger river, as none of the mess that was in the river (it was almost a solid wall of stuff) came down it - only the water - and it didn't rise as much as I would've thought. As we stood together, we remembered the people who were on the main river and knew they wouldn't have survived it ... there was a group of scientists that had been studying the river and the trees and plants for some kind of company and knew they weren't alive anymore. Though there was some sadness for them, there was such relief and delight (personally, and as a group the same sense of delight that we'd planned for this!!), that we didn't just surrender. As I looked around at the people on the roof with us I was asking how the river didn't flood us in the same way, I suddenly realised, / knew we had all just asked it not to. There was a celebration on the deck, and as we celebrated I woke up 🌊.

Perhaps time to buckle up me hearties ??!
