No matter what they teach you, what you believe is true. I will keep you safe and strong, and sheltered from the storm...

In the middle of the night she sat up. Her mind was racing and her breath was coming in short cycles. She had a whine that escaped her lips. He rolled over and sat up. He took her into his arms and rocked her. 

'What troubles you my love. I am here with you, talk and I will listen.' He stroked her hair as he listened to her breaths slow down. 

'I feel so exhausted. I don't understand. 'She looked up at him. 'Blue, we've moved so many times in our life, why does this one feel so different?' She lay her head upon his shoulder. His strength gave her peace.

 'How wonderful it can be to feel weary after a fulfilling day's work. What a blessing it is to awaken to our unique possibilities of a new day.' He leaned down and kissed her. She responded in her own loving way.

Later on, neither could sleep. He had surprised his wife with a set of temporary chairs he had conjured up. They were not to stay in the home more than six hours. Her humor lifted as she saw the table and stools. He handed her many papers to see.

'Hmm, these are maps of this area Blue?' He winked at her and sat down with a book of numbers to think about.

She began to read to herself: Arkam is just northeast of Boston. Our U-shaped house lies just west of the campus. Aloud she read to both of them; 'This area is long-known for it's supernatural occurences, its remarkable University Library and for it's Asylum for the Insane.'

After a couple of hours, he gathered up the paperwork. 'We still have two hours of sleep darling, let's go lie down before our new adventure begins.'  A long drawn out stretch, then she gathered her son, following Blue to their room.

Ahhhhh, what a nice sleep that was. Oh I feel so good. It's cold here, but the windows don't let anything inside.' Looking outside the window she sees the stream. 'Hmm, I wonder if fish are in there. OOo I bet they are cold. Hmm, I wonder if mama has started breakfast. I could go peek inside the cooler, dad said he had surprises in there.

'Okay baby, mama will come get you, just a minute. Oh Blue, this was a deep sleep I had. So much dreaming.' She stopped and turned. 'What's up sage man? You have something on your mind?'

'Patty I wonder how Becky did last night. I dreamt of her life source and how important it was to us. We had something happen and she was there to right it all for us. What a strong feeling it is to have such a dream.' He walked over to his squalling son, handing him over to mama. She made him wait, until she changed his wet night clothing. 'Oh you are not starving, you just have not learned to be patient young son.' 

Soon the Bluesage boys were settled. Dad walked out in time to find his young girl snooping around in the ice chest. Younger Bluesage was getting his tummy full of what he desired most.
