early this morning

Much can be said about dream time...
a time of rest, a time of retreat, a time of receptiveness. Our spirits never sleep.

In fact they are quite active. During the day we focus them rather narrowly through our mind with all its big plans, busy schedules and the demands of the over culture.

But when we close our eyes and withdraw from the world of sight and sound and movement, another part of us rises free....to explore, to learn, to catch up on its business.

A dear and very wise friend surprised me with this yesterday:

And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day. Genesis 1:5

How interesting that evening followed by morning formed the first day.
Maybe that should tell us something...

Before the sun came up, long before daylight, before awakening, I heard these words:

"Water flows in, water flows out…you will not change nature"
