The new year approaches. Of the prospect I'm grateful, for it offers much: travel, adventure, grown-up life. Marc embarks on a mission to serve the world, to give it a cup of something so good that the drinker need never eat or drink again. And I, I begin a journey of sorts.
In heaven I thought earth life would be immediate excitement, immediate mountain moving. I didn't like being a baby as I was way past ready to learn and do great things, way past ready to live a vision and become a Goddess. Or so I thought.
Every day--no, every breath--that I live unaligned with the great life I know I must live, I feel a deep sorrow surround and over take me. So to give heed to the counsel of everything holy inside, I focus on the vision and the vision emanates joy so bright and so gorgeous that to bask in it would mean heaven and to turn away from it, hell itself. An unauthentic life would mean no life at all.
So I'm building a dream that envelopes art and service, writing and public speaking, travel and leadership. I see foreign lands and white tents and construction projects and globes of the earth and many books. I see digging irrigation, smiling children, and bottles of water. I see hope and peace and working out problems and making communities better than they were found.
And a red suit.
I'm building a dream.
