Maybe you will be the first legend.<BR/>T - oh, I like that, yes, all of it. I knew it was positive, in spite of the waitressing thing, and I suspect, much as I'd like to be her first short-story writer, Oprah is probably not so much Oprah as she is, as you say, the world and others. I used to be afraid to ask anyone for time of day, particularly with regard to work. I dig it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10624981.post-1149105493094934142006-05-31T15:58:00.000-04:002006-05-31T15:58:00.000-04:00By the way: Oprah (in your dream) is probably a me...By the way: Oprah (in your dream) is probably a metaphor for the world or other people in general.<BR/><BR/>OR maybe a metaphor for someone in particular. A family member? Mom/Dad/Ben? Different meanings for each, and all interesting.<BR/><BR/>I particularly like the feel of it as a metaphor for the world/others, but it is what rings true for you that is most important.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10624981.post-1149105276568639292006-05-31T15:54:00.000-04:002006-05-31T15:54:00.000-04:00Teo sezSounds to me like even though you were comp...Teo sez<BR/><BR/>Sounds to me like even though you were competent in all that you did in your former life, it is writing that gives you the confidence and pleasure to live today. "Can't do this" in regards to waiting tables (the mess that <I>was</I> your life), and then feeling good enough to convince Oprah to read your book, which is spanky and new and just published. You clearly feel good about selling yourself right now, and you are at peace with the decisions you have made. No need to dwell on the past or regret what you haven't done...you are happy to present that which you are currently doing.<BR/><BR/>And don't forget: Every dream has a wish. Your wish seems to be coming true, as I read it. Whether or not you get on Oprah is actually beside the point, but it can't hurt to through that extra wish in there.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10624981.post-1149087263780301752006-05-31T10:54:00.000-04:002006-05-31T10:54:00.000-04:00that's exciting!And Ben is your Stedman!And OH!
