Today's passage, “The dreams we use to distract ourselves." In “Heartburn,” Nora Ephron’s 1983 novel a fictionalized version on the demise of her marriage. “  Nora Ephron, writes, "And then the dreams break into a million tiny pieces. The dream dies. Which leaves you with a choice: you can settle for reality, or you can go off, like a fool, and dream another dream.”

Of course, Nora Ephron leaves you with a biting, albeit somewhat sarcastic and bitter remark and therein lies the result of a broken heart, the humanness of an unmet dream, the foiled, disappointing and unfilled expectation of another.

Lisel Mueller writes in her poem, Immortality, “What exists, exists so that it can be lost and become precious.”

In the Wachowski sisters’ hit 1999 movie, “The Matrix” the Key Maker signified choices and it was he, or his program, that held the ability to open the door to the Source. Whether your source is Christ, Allah, Buddha, Guru Grant Sahib, or within yourself, we each have this key.
Perhaps, the only way to reach immortality is to view our endings as beginnings---our belief that this is what makes life truly worth living – the master key to our inner peace.
