DREAMS
DREAMS
By Bob Perks
Sep 30, 2005
I write about dreams. I write about reality, truth, and basic facts of
life, too.
I prefer dreams. They are bigger than reality. They are softer, firmer,
wider, sometimes narrow, shorter and longer than truth.
They don't cut, hurt, stop, or smack like the facts of life.
Dreams are what you make of them. They are like clay in the hands of
the sculptor. You get them at first in a raw, unrecognizable form. Like
the artist sees the image on the blank canvas, the dreamer sees the
dream within the mass.
Dreams are alive. They are born from two parents, "Wish" and "Hope."
Dreams come alive when the dreamer awakens to The Source called,
"Possibility."
The dreamer unknowingly begins the courtship with "I wish."
"I wish" flutters around within the mind. Subtle nudges from life seen
first as "Coincidence" and brilliant sparks of "Imagination" combine
over time to produce, "I hope."
"I hope" then becomes the mantra of the dreamer and the dream wanting
to be born.
"I hope" is a wish with wings making it possible for the dreamer to see
it all in motion.
Then comes the mating dance.
"Wish" and "Hope" wrap around, mix and blend together conceiving the
embryonic form waiting, longing, wanting to be born into a dream.
"Wanting" is the seed of dreams. "Believing" is the nourishment that
makes them possible.
Ah, but here is reality, truth, and the basic facts of life.
Not all dreams live on to become reality.
If they are not nourished with "Belief", they die.
If they are nourished with belief, but fail to be born, it is simply
because they are aborted by the dreamer because of a lack of "Faith."
In the end all dreams depend on "Faith."
For dreams are the work of God within you.
Faith, is the tool, the instrument placed in the hand of the dreamer.
Oh, yes, I prefer dreams. They are God's plans for the world.
"I believe in you!"
