Prophesy

Is that the same as Prophecy? Yes, it is, so I will tell you the story of Prophesy – the child of Hope. (©CS Dunn 2016)

To dream of the future, to imagine how things would be if this happened, or that happened; if this person did something that would change the way others view them; if that person did something that changed the world, or even just his family.

What if? If hope wasn’t part of life, would people continue? Would they just take one step after another – on and on – until it ended?

Hope is all it takes to initiate dreams, and from dreams come ideas, and from ideas come actions, and from actions comes movement. Always forward. People move forward. Thoughts move forward, toward what could be – or what they dreamed it could be.

Live with hope, know that each cell in your body fights to live; but living is not just breathing. To be alive is to be part of community, and to be part of a community thought must move forward, into the future – the best future we can provide for the children of our community.

That’s what it’s all about – what we leave for our children.

It is, isn’t it? Or do you dream of living forever? Do you want the world to be your slave? Do you want to  rule over your dominion? Fool if you do.

Life isn’t forever. It is limited. This is the bonus. We get to fight for every moment we live, for every dream we have, for every child we know. It is only the fight for life that gives us the moment of choosing this way or that way, or following this dream or that dream, or of assisting those that dream the biggest dream.

Yes, that is community. Follow the dream, even if it isn’t your dream. Live your community, leave something good and strong and prophetic for your children, for your grandchildren, and their grandchildren. Leave them a world of promise, of dreams, of a future that has dreams and prophesy.

This is not a story, but it is. It is the story you make, or he makes, or I make. It is a story that encompasses the reason for the telling of stories, for hope and dreams and looking forward. It is the story of life – short, unpredictable, and participatory. So please, participate as hard as you can. Live your life as an example to those around you, as an example to your future. As only you can do. Be your own prophesy.
