About In Dreams I Drifted Away: The imagery of drifting away on the river represents a scenario that is always tempting me. To escape day to day realities and responsibilities, to float through a dreamscape into an indistinct calm void, is a mental escape valve in stressful times. But the alternative to abdicating one’s obligations is also possible—I can use the metaphor of the river to drift away from rigid dichotomies, to flow easily into a new existence, to form new connections, and to gather a tribe of progressive, like-minded thinkers. The only constant is change, and we are collectively responsible for making that change a positive one as we drift, or forge, ahead.
