….Life is but a Dream…
I was sitting at our dining room table, sipping my morning coffee and soaking up the beautiful forest view. Suddenly I remembered the dream about the two cars. As I looked at our winding driveway, the road that passes above our house and the mail box that sits just past the driveway as you go up the hill, I realized that I was sitting in the very house that I saw in the dream! Our red Ford Explorer was parked at that very moment on the concrete pad in front of our house. What I had taken as a carport in the dream was actually the roof over the covered portion of our deck at the front of the house. The deck then wraps around the side of the house next to the windowed dining room where I sat at that moment.
The reason I mention the dream in this account of coming home, is because I had no idea that this house even existed until six months before we moved into it. I had, however, met the owners two years before at the second dream interpretation class I took on this mountain. I was immediately drawn to Laura’s beauty and sweetness when I met her in a small group activity during the class. I had no idea that her husband was my teacher’s very good friend, Larry. When he and Doug joked about a scribe angel that helped them write their books and training materials, I welled up and wept from a deep place within me. I remember thinking how wonderful it would be to live in such a place. It never even occured to me that I would not only come to live in that very place, but that Laura’s and Larry’s house would become my long-awaited home.
I now realize that the seed was planted two years ago, before I learned from an email from Doug that Larry’s house was for sale. When Dave and I watched the slide presentation of their lovely home, we thought we’d found our cabin in the woods that we’d hoped for after Dave retired from his job. For six months we vacillated between buying the house and talking ourselves out of buying the house. If I hadn’t had that dream two years ago, and forgotten it until after we moved in, I would be much more concerned about our current state of affairs. I am encouraged to know that we didn’t come here because I had a dream. I am equally encouraged that we are right where we're supposed to be because I am now living the interpretation and the application of that dream!
In another article I’ll write about the series of events that lead to our decision to risk it all and make our move years earlier than we’d planned, to a bigger and more expensive house than we would have considered sensible.

Every time I look in the mirror
All these lines on my face getting clearer
The past is gone
It goes by, like dusk to dawn
Isn't that the way
Everybody's got their dues in life to pay
Yeah, I know nobody knows
where it comes and where it goes
I know it's everybody's sin
You got to lose to know how to win
Half my life
is in books' written pages
Lived and learned from fools and
from sages
You know it's true
All the things come back to you
Sing with me, sing for the year
Sing for the laughter, sing for the tears
Sing with me, if it's just for today
Maybe tomorrow, the good Lord will take you away
Yeah, sing with me, sing for the year
sing for the laughter, sing for the tear
sing with me, if it's just for today
Maybe tomorrow, the good Lord will take you away
Dream On Dream On Dream On
Dream until your dreams come true
Dream On Dream On Dream On
Dream until your dream comes through
Dream On Dream On Dream On
Dream On Dream On
Dream On Dream On
Sing with me, sing for the year
sing for the laughter, sing for the tear
sing with me, if it's just for today
Maybe tomorrow, the good Lord will take you away
Sing with me, sing for the year
sing for the laughter, sing for the tear
Sing with me, if it's just for today
Maybe tomorrow, the good Lord will take you away......
