DESTITUTE LONGINGS

To ache for the impossible might seem like a futile exercise. Yet, how does one purge themselves of dreams?

Personally, I think there is an element to dreams that comes from other than our desires or any other motive or issue. That since we are more than flesh and blood it seems only natural that the spiritual side of life would intrude upon dreamland in some cases.

And in the process I think desires also come into our thoughts and soul that we don't always understand. Which is okay as long as we appreciate this element of our essence.

I think to me the thing that separates us in that regard from the ordinary thoughts is the element of what relates to something clearly not possible in this life. Such things as flying or imagining other worlds is not drawn from this life.

There are explanations that are given for such symbols in dreams, but what if in part they also arise from some part of our beings we don't always understand or appreciate? I'm not trying to venture too far into some abstract or absurd presumption, merely suggesting that when we have an urge we can't totally understand there may be a reason beyond what we know.

I feel God does, if we are receptive and sensitive to the vocabulary, speak to us through a variety of means including dreams. And because if we are follows of the lord our future is his presence I think we can easily have heaven intrude upon that part of life.

It doesn't have to necessarily be something we will understand in this life. Nor is it necessarily that we do.

But I do feel that if the inspiration or dream comes from the Lord, the desire that follows will be positive and not negative. It will not corrupt or produce pride.

Unfortunately, some people don't submit their feelings from such experience to such standards. They may end up confused or resisting what was meant for good.

This isn't about salvation of course. It is about the fullness of spirituality in this life. Some simply deny themselves a chance for the type of joy that comes when we allow God's spirit to give us light in the midst of some inexplicable longing.

I have seen those who resisted such longing for fear of being ridiculed if they shared. They become souls without guidance. Spirits of nearsighted vision who are unable to rise above a certain level of thinking.

We move gently in the domain of sandman touches. It is shear and fragile and a place of wings instead of feet. Hopefully, we can listen when needed and accept what is meant for us in the process. Then the winds of desire will be helpful and not confusing from our urging to quiet what we hear without our ears.
