when it gives us the freedom to imagine and to enjoy life with all it's preciousness.
Last night I had one of my dreams I call my happiness dreams. I have had only about three but they all left me with a beautiful feeling. So, in my dream I was in a very busy place with lots of people around and lots of buildings but I was told that I lived in this house in the distance. I walk to the house and open the door and see this amazing window that fills the whole wall of the side of the house. It looks out on a brilliant green park that was breath-takingly beautiful and magical. As I looked I saw more and more different trees and little paths and everything was full of light. I wanted to bring the whole world in to see it and I was told no.
The study book for Lent is about living from the center and breathing in the life of God. I believe that for me Jesus shows me the door to this world of wonder. You feel the joy of being a child again and it all happens so naturally.
WhenI am open to the new shape my life is taking I find joy in the simple things. There is something about human nature that the past will try to haunt us and I know that I have learned many lessons in the past and there is a part of me that wants to share some of that; but I no not live there. The saddest people are those who live in the past and cannot seem to let it go. I am trusting the Spirit of God to help me find joy, not a phony false mask but moments of both joy and sadness that are real.
Rest in the beauty of life.
