The Jeep Journals

I left my corporate job on 7/21/17 in order to help showcase Nature for Mother Nature fans online. I did not arrive easily at this decision since my corporate job paid extremely well and included amazing benefits. Alas, the one benefit I was not easily allowed was the time to immediately pursue any and all wild events happening any and all moments of every day throughout the world. I know it would have helped me greatly to see more Nature during the work week, so that is what I’ve set out to bring to you. Stay tuned!

Where Did Elton Go?

Wednesday, December 1, 2021 10:33 AM

Today itself I woke from a dream saying out loud “Where did Elton go?” as in my dream I was pointing at the very person I was asking about. Here is what I was dreaming as this was uttered aloud:

I was at my grandarents’ house where my grandparents were alive and well (in my dream) and the family had gathered for some reason. I could recognize Helen at a nearby table. My grandpa was sitting to my left at the head of the table. Elton was immediately to my right, and his brother Robert was next to him. I had just told my grandpa “You know grandpa, they are still not telling me where my dad is. Ask Helen, they are lying to me.

I said “Watch.” I turned to my right and asked Elton “Can you just sit here and be neutral while we ask a question to someone else?” He and his brother said something to the effect of “If there is anything we can do well it is to sit and remain neutral.” Grandpa and I then got Helen’s attention. My grandpa asked Helen if it was true that they would not tell me where my dad was and she began babbling. I asked her right there “Where is my dad?"

Suddeny all of the people there began to get up, attempt to change the subject, everything except answering the question. I looked to my right and Elton and Robert were half way out of the house passing the island that divided the rooms where everyone used to gather at the tables and play cards from the kitchen where our lovely meals used to be prepared and where in all those famiy rooms we used to talk about these types of happenings with one another.

I pointed tearfully towards my disappearing act cousins and said more than asked “Where did Elton go?” He and his brother stopped, caught in the act of trying to leave so they could do the only thing they could do to remain neutral, and my grandfather looked and saw. Helen was crying because she had not understood how much she was also remaining neutral from the start. Danny was there as well, silent. Out loud from a dream to reality… “Where did Elton go?"
