22 –Saving E.T.

April 1993

Phone home. I've had this recurring dream, over a span of several years. My mission is to save Melissa Mathison’s favorite extraterrestrial character - E.T.

The conflict pits me vs. all evil industrial, medical, and corporate empires combined. I’m out to save the quintessential love — love of environment and humanity.

E.T. observes, points, waddles, rides in a bike basket. He hurts no one. He humors with his other-worldly talents.

In my dream, I scream like Elliott - “No! You can’t do that!” But they do. I’m vindictive. Dedicated. Passionate. My fists are clenched tight and shaking. Gripping. Intense. Righteous.

I doubt this dream will ever end.
