Let us dream of tomorrow

I like quiet evenings when the kids have gone to bed and my husband is not yet home from class. Same for quiet mornings. It allows me time to think, to reflect, dream, plan and organize. Sometimes I do nothing but just sit and listen to the radio or the sounds of the night – cars going by on the street outside, a train whistle in the distance, a barking dog.

And lately, I seem to have too few of these moments. I’m going to have to steal a few. I need that downtime to recharge and find that when I haven’t been diligent in allowing myself those moments, things just get out of whack. While I don’t necessarily get grumpy or anything, I just feel frazzled and jumbled and I don’t like that feeling.

So tonight I am sitting here in the quiet with the radio and listening to the cars coming up and down the hill. Off in the distance are the lights of the town and the cars on the freeway. I can see their headlights moving like small ants across the blackness.

Somehow, it’s calming . . .

In the arena,

Let us dream of tomorrow where we can truly love from the soul, and know love as the ultimate truth at the heart of all creation. ~ Michael Jackson

Imagine all the people living life in peace. You may say I’m a dreamer, but I’m not the only one. I hope someday you’ll join us, and the world will live as one. ~ John Lennon
