Okay so I’m going to start with a little disclaimer. This post is a little unorthodox, even for me. But this is REAL. My relationship with God and myself is ever evolving and changing. And I continue to find myself WAY OUTSIDE the religious box. Bliss!
I had a cool dream the night before last. I have felt so much peace and joy in my soul ever since.
It was kind of bizarre like dreams usually are. But the neat thing is that I actually had a dream! I can’t tell you the last time I had a dream, or remembered having a dream.
In the dream I was on an intertube, near a pier, at the river, not really sure which. I was surrounded by a bunch of people I love, people I’ve known throughout my life, but I don’t remember which ones exactly. The funny thing is I remember us all taking communion. And we used white bread and grape juice, not that fussy stuff you get in church. Lol.
Another cool thing I remember is that there was awesome music playing. Old stuff, like the stuff I grew up listening to, Simon & Garfunkle, The Band, Van Morrison. And I was happy. So happy.
Then I woke up with this song in my head...
Oh, the water
Oh, the water
Oh, the water
Let it run all over me
And it stoned me to my soul
Stoned me just like Jelly Roll
And it stoned me
Stoned me just like going home
And it stoned me
Wow! I just love Van. In the song he gets caught in a rain storm and just appreciates how good the rain feels. The moment!
A great reminder for me. To live in the moment. To appreciate all the little things. To stop getting caught up in the rat race, myself and my crazy head.
Things like...
Nature. Fellowship. Music.
All things that bring me peace and joy and bring me closer to God.
Bliss!
