Can You Manipulate Your Dreams

"Evil can be undone, but it cannot 'develop' into good" ...C.S. Lewis Journey with me, james from Minnesota... Begin this journey from a quiet place Close your eyes and feel your good Your mind has the gift of sight And touch Leave your body and rise above Sunshine appears from the east On a cloudless day Pause above my garden, the aroma From the soil promises rebirth A few Purple Finches serenade joy Melodious honey, expectant! Around the corner, great fantails of male Wild Turkeys shimmer proud plumage To skeptical females, regal courtship! Follow me into the forest Eager mushroom spores send vital Phosphorous and sugars up companion trees And along fallen comrades, soon Revealing nourishment to friends And warnings to invaders Lets soar higher! Joining arrows of Geese, searching Pockets of open water, where once was Covered with ice Higher still! Bald Eagles, buffeted by earths release of Warm air, perform lazy loops with you and Me, spying prey unaware of Eagles eyes, Tho we do not join them in their perilous Descent upon the intrepid We respect their need to survive Further on, we transform back upon the City streets, sending cautious impulses To excited children, stepping into the Streets, smiling when parents grasp their Hands Warmth now envelops us Comforting our fears, knowing our Creator, the One who combined all DNA, who gave purpose to all life Loves Us

Nice my friend- I like-----I make it a must every night to pray my dreams go my way. Not always do I win but almost always except to one specific gratification that will give me the satisfaction I desire. but I keep praying it will eventually.

I wish nothing for myself, Al, my only prayer is for serenity to listen to God's Will, and and lift others dignity and self-worth in His Grace and Moral Strength, my reason for being on this planet, righteous, brother...

Very beautiful journey, James; love the sense of new birth, and the feeling of rightness with the world. I know Minnesota can be cold in winter, but it sounds well worth the waiting for such a splendid spring. Outstanding write! "Lets soar higher! Joining arrows of Geese, searching Pockets of open water, where once was Covered with ice" Love it!

Wonderful, almost step by step into God's unfolding and unfurling Spring flora and fauna. oved moving from "arrow of geese" to "higher still" with eagles! You are always reminding me of Romans Ch. 1, General Revelation, His compassion & Grace allows to all "goim" & peoples PTL
