Dreaming Monstrous Me

I recently dreamt I had (rather dramatically) sacrificed another commitment for the sake of more time and intimacy with my wife. I am less disturbed by the commitment sacrificing dream than I am that my dream self feared consequences more than the internal 'moral flexibility' permitting such sacrifice - which I think is the point and why I had the dream.

 Time with my wife is the lovely cookie of my life, and I enjoy paring down things and commitments we don't need, because it frees up more of our selves for intimacy between our selves; yet there are some things and commitments that can not, should not, be shirked. Thus though monsters may lie in wait for such missteps, we maintain our balance, our meaning and purpose, and we slowly journey forward, toward our destiny, to our fate.
