Now these dreams have left me and slowly I turn my gaze to that distant world where the images are not so clear. These new dreams while very real are not easily grasped and I must work using other capacities to see them. While we are spiritual beings, the physical must step back for this perception to operate and is reluctant to do so.
Slowly, new dreams are emerging and awakening a vision, of the next place, to carry me forward.
