What does your dream need you to do?

Welcome to DREAM week!

Natasha dreams of being a cashier when she grows up. This is her drawing doing just that! My daughter dreams of being a mommy and is constantly saving her old clothes and toys “for my kids.” Both these girls are taking vital first steps in making these dreams come true. They are visualizing and preparing. Of course either of these dreams may change in time, how many of our dreams do? But no dream begins without this vital first step.

It is not enough to have a dream… we must also do the work.

Dream work
by January Handl

To dream is to allow
the secret stories
that whisper in our inner chambers
the vast sky of our imaginations
that encompass
                   both the unthinkable
                                       and the quite possible.

To dream is to accept
the karma of our creative natures
the swirling nothing toward something
the yearning pull toward
both change and stasis
                   the voice that speaks
                                       without words or symbols.

To dream is to surrender
to the part of us that knows
beyond the small critics
and social prisons
leaping on the stones
left by the dreamers before us
                   we can cross over the abyss
                                      of doubts and dangers
                                                                                and find

Ourselves…
home in the unknown,
                   adventuring into deeper
                                                                         knowing.

What dreams are calling you? Are you willing to adventure into deeper knowing?

This week our Bliss Initiative is to answer our dreams. Let us start the work.

What does your dream need you to do?
