Dream on, & never let ups & downs stop any human from dreaming. God helps us dream, too ( if we ask Jesus). Shalom, shalom

This is lovely Paul. Really good imagery. I could see an old man with a large full bag on his back. I n my mind this bag is figurative. It holds his dreams some fulfilled and others not. Good stuff. God Bless, JB
