My Precious - Dreams Come True
Posted by {H} creatives (San Francisco Bay Area, United States) on 31 May 2008 in People & Portrait.
My Dear Friends of the Inspiration Circle,
I wanted to thank you as always. It is both a pleasure and a pleasant intrigue for me to be able to "keep in touch" with folks and acquaintances that I have "met" here albeit virtually. Many of you were able to reach out to me in a profound way, and many of you have spoken much in this season of my life, encouraging and inspiring (even beyond the simple words of the p-blogs and reached out to me in e-mails or calls) - and for that I am grateful.
It seems that my p-blogging has become more of a monthly event than anything else. This infrequency in my p-blogs is not at all intentional, but is a mere reflection of the season in my life right now. Today was another day of awe for me as I yet uncover the depths of the human frailty and the hearts of men. It astonishes me that as adults, we often succumb to negativity and suspicion, to tearing down, criticism, and destruction.
This is why I am so in awe of my four year old, Keshia Evangeline. It is the innocence of a child that I found most awesome...the purity of it...the thirst for knowledge...the sense of wonder without gain. Why is it that as we grow older, we lose these natural abilities to look at life without judgment? We have suppositions and assumptions, predetermination, and premeditation - look at things through the glasses on "how we could gain"..."what's in it for me?"..."how can I get ahead?"..., not so much on how we can bless and help others. I found children, on the other hand, dream without having want of gain from it, monetary or otherwise...they dream simply "just because"...just for the pure joy of dreaming.
And so it was that my daughter dreamed of growing fairy wings several weeks back - see here. She dreamed of wings of fairies as she embraced the colors of Spring. And this past weekend, her dreams (sort of) came true. B-) She finally "grew" wings as she prepares for her recital this coming weekend. And yes, she is playing the fairy along with her other friends. B-)
Note how beautiful she is...I guess that goes without saying. B-) But she is indeed a gem - I can't help it, I had to say it. (I guess that's what any proud dad would say). I just wish that I could go back in time, and be that person with a child's heart, always full of wonder, love, and awe. That old passage came back to mind again...the one which says that those with a heart like a child shall enter into heaven: "Unless you accept God's kingdom in the simplicity of a child, you'll never get in." I dream of finding this place called heaven - a place free of sorrow and pain. A place devoid of vengeance and fame. A place where not even wings are needed to soar high beyond the sky. It's just that when and if my dreams do come true and I find this place called heaven, I often wonder at times if I will ever get in.
Here's wishing all of you, my dear AM3 Friends, that place of heaven in your lives. Thank you.
Cheers'nBlessings,
