"I have dreamt in my life.......

as i walked to work this morning

i had a perfect moment.

a moment of definition -

they come when i have been prepared

they come when i am still -

these moments are sweet and peaceful

i felt the cool air on my skin

the silence surrounding me

my feet kept walking but my soul wanted to stop

to soak it all in till i could almost disappear into the moment itself 

and then i heard the whisper of 

"remember"

remember this sweetness this almost utter perfectness

for when i can remember these times of definition

i am made strong in my moments of weakness

"here than is a great truth.

in the pain, the agony, and the heroic endeavors of life, 

we pass through a refiner's fire, 

and the insignificant and the unimportant in our lives 

can melt away like dross and make our faith

bright, intact and strong.  

in this way the divine image can be mirrored from the soul.

it is part of the purging toll exacted of some to 

become acquainted with God."
