When we are young, our dreams are full of fantasies. Then the wool is pulled over our eyes and the fantasies are gone. We lose the ability to pray for one another in our dreams. We lose the ability to relearn this task. It should not be a task; it should be an effort of love. But we fear this perhaps because it makes us look weak. But it does not; it strengthens us. Together, it builds a foundation of love that no one can beat. For the structure is strong. It allows us to build on it; on a face that our creator can begin to call each of us by name. And remind us that we are valued and cherished. . . not by a country or a territory or an institution, but by a beloved Being, created by a loving God., given to two loving parents and nurtured by them and raised in God’s image. There is a traditional Scottish blessing It calms our souls. And brings us together as children of God:
Deep peace of the running wave to you,
Deep peace of the flowing air to you,
Deep peace of the quiet earth to you,
Deep peace of the shining stars to you,
Deep peace of the Son of Peace to you.
