The Dream of Life

I have not written in a very long time. So many things have been happening since I came back to the states from home, England to New York city on Inauguration Day. One thing after another. A new America. A sweeping anger and sadness that has affected the whole world. Like many others here I am angry. I am sad. I am shocked. We are protesting. We are fighting in all the ways we know how. All the things I care about are on the edge of destruction.

But I believe we will rise. We persevere because that is what we do. We are stronger when we are united against the very things that threaten to destroy everything we stand for. The dream of life is in our power to make happen. We are the creators of what is good and beautiful in the world. For me the universe is a reminder of my truth. A truth greater than anything happening today.

Is there anything more amazing and powerful than the universe? Our final thought every night before we close our eyes to go to sleep should be a thought of wonder. Just look. Just look up. Look deep within you. Look at the hearts of those you love. We are so insignificant to the rest of the universe based on size alone yet we are significant to the things that matter in our lives. We are significant to each other in a way that is more significant than anything out there.

I wish more people will see the stars and see not just stars but also the beauty and light that defines our existence on this tiny pale blue dot. We are our very own significance in a universe of eternal wonder where no story ends to end for good but to only begin again. And it will begin again, it has and it always will. Time is nothing more than a mover of stories. 

I am about to embark on my next chapter. In a way it is a whole new story. A new book but still connected to my other stories because no one story is truly complete without taking into account of every page that has been lived to the present. I am again reminded no matter what my path ahead brings, whatever way this story goes…the dream of life is my one and only life. This is it. I am what I dream and the dream of my life is the most powerful thing in the universe. The dream of our lives is what drives this world towards a better world. A new world. A new dawn…is only a dream away.
