I knew this man of mirth and dust-- I knew him-- I gave him my trust. Upon the screen of lidded eye within a dream I realized... He bent before me, at my feet, washed the sand and eased the heat. He washed my feet while others gasped. He dried them with his robe as rag. I did not want this-- looked away. He smiled. He did it anyway. Implications too profound-- a bathe of leg treds holy ground... I knew I should reciprocate-- but cringed a pause of hesitate. I knew his feet wore grains of sand. A piece of earth from every land. I knew his sandals wore my miles... Ashamed, I looked. I saw him smile. And then he laughed in sheer delight... as though I were a little child. As though I had done something cute... He laughed, with love-- living proof. |

ahhh, the epitome of devotion...it must be amusing to have someone washing your feet, even in your dreams...i can be cynical and wonder if you are power-hungry though..heehee |

A religious dream? As you know, I can 'read you' in those dreams. I enjoyed this one...told me a lot about you. |

Can I have your dreams? Mine are so boring usually that I'd have to lie to take part in this challenge. Hmm, maybe I will. Maybe I will. |

But to one person, you may be the world. |

YAY!!! Oh Karen, this is wonderful, sweet friend, it is always those simple smiles and laughs and hugs that make dreams living proof to us all and how we are convinced they are more than just a movie in our minds! (kiss on cheek) Wow, I want to try this challenge too, it sounds like so much fun, this is excellent, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Karen, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |
