FIELD NOTE 4.23 - Looking up.

My grandmother used to tease me that I looked up at the sky too much, saying that it was a sign that I was dreaming too much. Somehow over the years I've stopped doing this, focusing my attention nowadays either directly in front of me or on my shoes.
A few days ago Darryl and I took a walk down a nature trail and I started looking up into the tree branches. Since then I have constantly been looking skyward, so much so that I accidentally almost walked into a parked car this morning on my way to class.
I have a feeling that my grandmother might start admonishing again. Only now there are no dreams, just upward glances. I tell myself that maybe dreams will follow shortly and that maybe this time I will swallow my fear and just go with them - I just hope there are no more parked cars to block the way...
