ON THE HORIZON In a dream I found myself gazing upon all accomplishments, my mistakes and my broken hope. My happiness and my heartbreak. I saw myself on a great open plain, but unaware that I was surrounded by others, others that had been in my life, that had been a part of my life for good or bad. Once aware, I noticed that some of those who were there traveled off in different directions, and disappeared into the fog of discontent. Others wandered, as if they had no idea where, or which direction to go. As I continued on my way, the distance from where I was to where I thought I was going turned out to be father away with each step, each new view of the horizon was met with dis-belief, The sun did not rise with the dawn, instead darkness dominated throughout the long and desperate days of my existence. As I walked along, I noticed that all of those who had been on the journey traveled within the deepest reaches of their own conciseness, they’re own hopes of what might be waiting for them at the end of their journey. Myself I only wondered why this dream had come to me, knowing in my logical mind that it WAS a dream. But then, I heard a voice, soothing and calm, within my heart but audible, as if someone was whispering in my ear, soft and low, so only I could hear. And the voice said “Son, you are on the path to Heaven, and that is a road you must travel alone, unafraid, and with anticipation. I am waiting there for you, to be your guidance, your hope and your salvation. I am that I am, and the peace you seek come through Me.” It was then that I realized that all of my accomplishments were not done alone, not mine exclusively, but in partnership with all those that had been in my life for good. My mistakes belonged to only me, and were the result of weakness of spirit, uncertainty of faith, fear of righteousness. My broken hope was filled with dreams of the unattainable, the selfish things, the things that have no value or benefit to others. My happiness was in part my own doing, yet mostly came from the love of those in my life that touched me in some way, either beloved family members or those who’s paths crossed with mine, to share the love that is within us all. My heartbreak originated in love offered and love refused. On my part and on the part of others, the reasons for these rejections of love are unknown to me. I travel onward, to my final destination, unafraid and with anticipation. Darkness no longer hides the brightness of the road ahead, instead the sunshine illuminates the horizon, and I know that this is not a dream, but reality. My path is set, and on I go toward the peace that is waitij\ng there for me... I hope to see you all there... Dino 3-16-14
