Wonders Lost – Dreams Regrown
We were all so excited when the U.S. landed the first man on the moon. Today, the notion of sending someone to the moon is barely a blip on entertainment meters. Begs the question, what does excite us today? What do we want to explore?
Computers take us into virtual reality, tricking our minds into experiences totally in our heads. What happened to my ride in the bottom of a carriage in third grade when reading the likes of Robert Louis Stevenson and Mark Twain?
Does love attract us? Inspire us? Motivate? How do we conceptualize love? Define love? I think it is blue energy. I saw it on the highway when a pick up truck pulling a long trailer jack knifed and the truck leaned all the way over on two wheels. As if everyone on the road begged God at once to spare the impending accident, a blue aura surrounded the truck and trailer while everyone found space in other lanes and the road shoulders. The semi-truck in front of me moved over one lane, the same lane I was about to move into a minute earlier. The lane I did not move into because Mystery told me to stay put because “the semi-truck is gonna need that lane in a moment.” Mystery works with love. Maybe it is love. I’m not sure.

I wonder who else saw that blue aura around the jack-knifed truck that day.
