The Raft Company's dissident

Psychedelic vision / dream, October 29, 2021

There was a woman who worked for The Raft Company.

Each morning she would put the rafts in the water for others to take out, and every evening she would pull them back in and put them away.

She never ventured out on her own or outside of working hours.

I told her she should take herself out into the ocean. These are your waters, I said.

The Company doesn't like that, she said. They don't want us to explore beyond what we know.

I reminded her that she owned her own raft, and didn't have to rely on The Company. She was allowed to explore beyond the territory.

But she wouldn't heed my advice, no matter how hard I pushed. I grew increasingly frustrated and then I woke myself up. I told myself I would never be like that woman who works for The Raft Company.

Every day I take out my own raft and I voyage farther than the day before.
