Path of Hopes & Dreams

On this most seemingly unspectacular morning
i find that i have roamed into a brightly colored forest
where the trees breathe tangible life into the freshest air
and the sun shines through the trees with a soft intensity
that sets the surrounding atmosphere aglow
with a quality of joyful energy.…

the path on which i am walking is of softly firm earth
of a rather unremarkable color except that
it contains specks of pure gold streaming throughout

and the pathway is strewn with flowers, wild yet tame,
this path is somewhat narrow
but somehow there is a feeling of
freedom and expansiveness on all sides.

As i walk along i am feeling the ground beneath me
gently rising on an upward angle —
then i suddenly realize
i am suspended a few inches above the earth —
then gradually this becomes a few feet —
it’s as though i am floating as i walk along
embracing the flowers & wild grass growing along the sides.

As my path becomes suspended even higher off the earth,
a foggy mist begins to surround me,
gentle droplets of water float suspended in the mist
though i can clearly see above, beyond and within myself
— then i detect that the droplets carry musical notes
much like wind chimes of an unknown origin

there are hopes and dreams of the highest order before my vision
and i can see, feel, and know the fruition of this energy
that has evolved within my essence since the beginning of time.

As i open my eye and further clear my vision
i sense all of these energies, this fruit
as part of my own beingness.

Yes, this is all surreal but it is also of substance,
for that which you can believe, you can perceive
and that which you can perceive you can receive.

What at first may seem like an unspectacular morning,
you can determine to see with a new eye
because nothing is as it seems
yet everything is as it should be

namaste,
