Did you land on your feet?


Last night I had a dream that I was standing on the edge of the Grand Canyon (or someplace that looked like it) and was looking out across the rocky land from atop a very high cliff. Beyond the edge was an empty space so deep I could not see the bottom and the other side of the canyon was a blur in the distance. Even though I was so close to the edge, it didn't bother me and I wasn't afraid of falling.

Next to me was a shopping cart full of cats. One-by-one, I picked them out and tossed them into the canyon. I watched to see if they landed on their feet, but after each one fell for a minute or so, it disappeared from sight. Once the shopping cart was empty, I stood there for a long time. There was no one around and nowhere to go. I pushed the cart over the edge and walked away.
