Complicit Simplicity Chapter 6

(Chapter 6)

The essence of life is patterns.

Patterns lie next to each other: in people, relationships, lifestyles, surroundings. Patterns also layer: overlapping, melding, connecting. We sometimes recognize basic patterns surrounding us, but their union is too complex for conscious analysis. As the conscious mind rests, the puzzle pieces fit together; dreams and intuition flowing along congruent underground rivers seeking to arise when opportunity demands.

Mose works hard at observing hidden intentions in others actions; circumstances that might be critical to his survival. Once the effort of training perceptions is established, continued monitoring is automatic, even when not overtly concentrating. Mose knew his mind was constantly compiling data; sorting and aligning it until a hunch was formed, a touch of intuition, that gut feeling.

Mose woke as a dream broached the surface of his cognizance as a completed puzzle. Recent dream events shone with clarity, even as early scenes of his dream faded.

Gloria, Jon, and himself; sitting on a balcony of a secluded compound. They were relaxed, and older. They toasted an event that Mose no longer remembered - but each seemed pleasantly satisfied with accomplishment.

Mose savored the peace, contentment, and pleasurable anticipation the others shared with him. Even as the joy remained, the dream continued to fade. Something did not fade, it was what Jon was saying as Mose woke.

Mose knew he would write it down later, but it was simple enough he would not forget. "The basis of our success is trust."

Mose could write more about it, he mentally scripted a responses as he continued the dream in full conciseness. "The most important trust of all. We trust each other to remain true to ourselves -- even if we are forced to oppose each other.

Mose knew the dream was not a mysterious omen. It was his subconscious clearing out an attic of unused memories, blending them with current perceptions from below the conscious level. It was true.

Mose knew the truth of what Jon had said in the dream, and he knew it to be based on accumulated facts and research while drilling for understanding. The trust existed - it was time to extend that trust toward a commitment meeting between the three privateers and Midas.

There was work to be done, a people to be liberated.

They would be true to themselves, each working in his own way to archive. Their odds of success were not good, but they were all professionals. They would continue in doing what was necessary unless they were permanently stopped.

Mourning is optional.
