Entry 01

I dreamed that Nancy Regan hired me to help her rethink some of her design decisions for  Ronald's Presidential Library. Ronald was hanging around listening to us and Nancy and I were speaking not just smartly but with a lot of emotional intelligence informing our decisions. As we were wrapping up Ronald pulled me aside and said, "Alright. I'm ready. I want you to teach me the language of EQ. I have no words for what I feel."

I cried hot tears and told him, "I wish my father could have said that to me."

In my dream Ronald is still a large and powerful man. In my dream I got the most incredible hug I have ever received, from Ronald Regan. It lasted minutes, no timid back patting, just a solid loving and understanding muscular mano a mano holding.

It was after we parted, still dreaming, that I remembered that I never trusted the man.

 Awake, I remained confused about him all day.
