Take a big inhale through your nose and remember a time you were so congested you would have given anything for one clear breath.
Dance, run, leap, and remember when you had a broken bone and spent every day grieving your lost mobility.
Notice what brings you joy and recall the time life felt so dark you begged God to send you even just a sliver of hope.
Oh, how quickly we forget what we once wanted dearly.
How just six months ago the cold penetrated our bones, and we yearned for a day as warm as this one.
Your dreams are all around you.
You’ve just gotten used to it.
Questions to sit with: What’s important about having a dream?
Don’t just try to answer the question. Notice what it feels like to ask the question. You’re welcome to share your reflections with me.
