How To Dream

I have a dream . . .

I have a dream of a gentle world

Spacious and soft

A world where we each know what we value

And we value our humanity and divinity alike

I have a dream of a world where our differences

Don’t divide us but define us

As unique and irreplaceable

Each person standing in fullness

Oceanic in our wholeness

I have a dream of escaping

The limited perspective of good and bad

Right and wrong

A dream where we do not deny

The duality of self and other

But celebrate the distinction of you and me

For we are each alone

And in our aloneness together

Each a light

A temporary flame

We will extinguish

In only a moment

So while we are here we seek to connect

To touch and be touched

To see and be seen

To show and to say, ‘This is me, I see you.”

I have a dream today

That no one hides

White man or black man, rich or poor

Male or female, looking or lost

Graceful or wasteful, knowing or naught

Strong or scrawny, boastful or bashful

For on this day we can all be free at last, free at last

Great God almighty, free at last
