Happy summer! I can’t believe I am a few weeks shy of not posted for one year. I’ve been enjoying my summer with friends and family. I look forward to summer because the school year doesn’t lend itself to much social time. Each year I vow to change that. It’s improving but there is still room for growth. It gives me room to dream of possibilities for saying yes and creating the vision (in my mind) for the short summer reprieve. All that aside, those thoughts inspired this poem. It was further confirmed after having lunch with a friend today. Enjoy!

Dreaming

The beauty of dreaming holds endless possibilities. 

The danger in dreaming is you never know how the story ends. 

Dreaming is an opportunity. In it, there is wonder, hope, surprise and uncertainty. 

Even so, never stop dreaming. It’s yours and belongs only to you and your God. 

When you wake up, life is still happening and is ready for your full participation. 

Dream. Keep dreaming. It’s destined.
