Dreams: portals to the spirit world? pathways to realities unseen? Places unknown? World’s forgotten except in fairy tales? Do they seek to impart wonder and awe for what the mind conceives in moments of rest, far from the daily grind? Some say dreams are make-believe, to listen is a waste of time... Some say dreams lead to spiritual wisdom, the teachings of the sages of old. It matters not, what some say: dreams flow as rivers of colours, creating moods, evoking emotions. Dream a grizzly bear, a wise one who beckons you to follow: "Come, walk with me (he says) through coastal wilderness where giant firs cast their shadows, harbouring a host of unseen life; to jagged glaciers piercing clouds where even the eagle dare not fly! Feel the wind push away the clouds-- the body vibrating to new power: here, the soul ascends pulled by its own thirst for a greater knowing. Here, you truly dream! |

A grand-fine ‘write’!... [as I have so come to expect from this author] …I read this, and I AM the eagle who shall dare that dream flight! I could easily ‘hi-lite’ this entire piece, however, I am especially fond of: "Come, walk with me … through coastal wilderness where giant firs cast their shadows, harbouring a host of unseen life; to jagged glaciers piercing clouds where even the eagle dare not fly!... here, the soul ascends pulled by its own thirst for a greater knowing.” VERY serious, long-sustained applause!! ~ |

I felt myself walking through the Olympic peninsula, the forests of British Columbia, and of course, my old stomping grounds, Alaska. Oh, your dream 'rivers of colours' got me! Thank you for such a wondrous journey. (And wise bears know what the woods are all about.) |

harbouring a host of unseen life; to jagged glaciers piercing clouds where even the eagle dare not fly! Feel the wind push away the clouds-- the body vibrating to new power: here, the soul ascends pulled by its own thirst for a greater knowing. Here, you truly dream! you have taken me to a marvelous place of wilderness...and there is such power in your words and this place you so admirably write of...thank you |
