Last Dec., the darkest month of the year, I was out of touch with many of my friends and family and I had a dream that I was unrecognizable to some folks I knw. For some time after, I became afraid that I might become vacant in the minds of those I knew in real life, and that as punishment for the sin of neglecting relationships I might become a ghost - doomed to eternity, constantly trying to get the attention of those who no longer knew me or of me, and never, ever being seen again by those I loved though the desire for contact would remain.
