Footprints in the Wind^sm # 843

My reign is not of this world—
Your world of power over
Differentiating
Excluding and dominating
It is of community
Inviting and hearing
Gathering and sharing
There is more power when all have it
More to share when more share
More world when we see it

Please pass it on.

What dreams would fulfill our dreams? Can we dream of a caring society that touches those with whom we find ourselves in community so that there is help for those who need it? Can we dream of volunteers, real people helping real people, with respite and rest part of the mix with embracing?

What are our dreams of old age?

:- Doug.

Both are part of what is really real: The body calls the spirit into existence, the spirit calls the body into existence. Yet we have eyes the seldom see the spirit, the dream, love, light, vibration, music, dance, others, conversation, intercourse, weave, pattern, rhythm. So our work is to connect people to both, which means an emphasis on the transparent.

Connecting people to their dreams, to our dreams, to dreams of ours. Dreams are ours. Dreams belong to all of us. Each has them, and it is here we are connected to the larger community, which is G*d.

So this is a way forward: Dreams are ours. Remind people of their dreams. Remind us that these dreams always include others. Remind us that dreams take us out of our daily doldrums and into our larger, our future. Remind us that community is where we live and where our lives can be richer, larger.
