Dreams & Hopes

Computers and internet. Phone calls, instant messengers, emails, and web cameras. Hopes, dreams, desires and wishes. Falling stars and rising stars. Sunsets and sunrises.

These are things of modern life. Some primitive, some advanced; All the tools of romance and initial contact. The things that help make wishes come true.

Those are things that now take longdistnaces and bring them close; things that allow another far away to dig a trench into your soul as if they were making war on it. Tings neutral in and of themselves but can be used to destroy or to make peace; conquer or free.

Here they have been used to conquer, free, destroy, to diga trench and make peace; every way but all for the sake of a wish, a desire; both mutual. Through coincidence and accident a trench has been dug and a war is raging; a war that is destroying the old ideas-conquering the hearts and minds freeing them of past tortures. The war will end in peace. Peace frightens both sides.

What would this peace bring? What will it be? Will it be an alliance? Will it be the building of a wall? Will it be the silent wailing of destroyed souls? Will the peace be worth the risk?

Is this a war or is it something else? If not a war, then it must be a conversion. The trench is not for combat but for a foundation; a foundation for something large, something larger than life. A mission perhaps? A place to educate and provide comfort to these lost and lonely souls? May it be a home, a place for companionship; a place in which they might find compassion, caring and love? Or is it a prison? A place of torture, pain and suffering?

May it be that this foundation is growing and it will soon be larger than all of those combined? Shall it be for the building of a city? A city that will have all of them? Or will it be the foundation of a village? A village with a mission and a home; just a mission and home? A village where there will be no need of a prison?

Hopes, dreams, and desires. Hope for a home, dream of a mission, desire for both.

Hope for the lost and lonely to find a home and mission in one. Dream of peace, comfort, compassion, love, and passion. Dream, dreaming. Desire. Desire all these.

Let not the hard things destroy these hopes, dreams, and desires. Build a strong foundation that will with stand the earthquakes of life; strong walls to hold against the rain and winds; strong beams to support them. Build a strong house to withstand all.

Build high atop the world. On solid fertile ground that things may grow and be sustained. Build that it will last.
