Wind and Waves
October 5, 2010I had a dream last month. We were standing in front of a beach house looking out at a lake that appeared to be an inland sea. As we stood there, a tremendous wind started to blow and whipped up towering waves so tall that people watched transfixed, commenting they had never seen anything like it. The wind and waves so captivated the watching crowd that they seemed not to comprehend the danger.
You were standing closer to the water than I, and I begged you, βAt least come up on the deck,β but you didn’t seem to hear. Then I put my arms around you and with tears said to you, βI love you. I couldn’t bear to lose you.β And I woke up.
I know now that the wind is change. Wind can create mesmerizing but dangerous water sculptures, or it can sweep a dry path through the sea. I love you. I couldn’t bear to lose you. Please be careful.
