Dreaming

Writer's picture: Brandi DiamondBrandi Diamond

When was the last time you sat in the grass

and just listened to the sounds of the world?

Can you imagine a time that you

looked at clouds

and saw dragons

and couldn't tear your eyes away?

Did you try to point it out to someone else?

'It's right there' you say as you point -

'do you see it?

Do you see what I see?'

Sometimes they do, sometimes they don't.

And soon enough the dragons move along

and become other images -

but today, in that moment -

they belonged to you.


Dreams are like that.

They call us to see what is not there,

to see what is not visible to everyone -

to see something magical that only we can bring to life.

Without them there is no electricity -

or apple pie

or water slides

or justice.


To dream though requires something of us.

We must get still

and listen

as the breeze gently blows

and the wind chimes spangle.

We probably need to close our eyes

and look down, at our feet, at the place they are planted

and look inside, at our heart, at what grows there

but maybe

also keep our eyes wide open, searching

looking up

from our phones and our jobs and our lists and our problems

to see what is on the horizon

to catch a bit of the vision

that God offers everyday.


So I ask again...

When was the last time you sat in the grass

and just listened to the sounds of the world?

It is okay to dream just a little.

Better even - it is necessary.

For otherwise, who will tend to those dragons?

If people can’t see what God is doing,

they stumble all over themselves;

But when they attend to what he reveals,

they are most blessed.

Proverbs 29:18
