Vision<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I close my eyes and listen for the story. It wants to be told and emerges through me:<\/p>\n

A few hours ago \u2013 my heart was open,<\/p>\n

Open and unafraid.<\/p>\n

Now it is closed<\/p>\n

Protected by big wooden doors.<\/p>\n

Through cracks in the doors an orange\/red light speckled with white oozes out.<\/p>\n

I slip through a crack and find myself in a spacious cave-like chamber.<\/p>\n

I feel small but safe, the light being warm and comforting.<\/p>\n

Ropes, spiraling wavy ropes, appear from somewhere up high in the smoke-like light.<\/p>\n

I decide to climb one and quickly reach the top.<\/p>\n

The view is sensational; open and embracing.<\/p>\n

From my perch atop the rope I see people \u2013 little people, like dwarfs and goblins \u2013 squeezing through the cracks. They busily mill around, the dirt floor solid beneath their feet. They know their purpose and feel content.<\/p>\n

An Elf climbs a rope near the one I occupy. He reaches for me. I feel it too intimate for us to touch and smile shyly. He graciously receives my smile, then climbs back down.<\/p>\n

Below, the little people are getting together benches and a very long table. They set the table with bowls and spoons. On either side of the table they align two long troughs; these they proceed to fill with light blue sky.<\/p>\n

The elf climbs back up, this time on MY rope. He gently pulls on my foot, suggesting that I get down and join in the festivities. I obey and he leads me to the head of the table, where I\u2019m asked to be the queen and to sit in the queen\u2019s chair. I feel awkward and tell them I do not wish to be the queen. Instead I initiate that we all stand up and hold hands.<\/p>\n

A flood of goodness soars through me. It runs through my hands, then spreads to my heart \u2013 our hearts \u2013 where it comfortably settles.<\/p>\n

I see a small bed off to one side, the bedding very white and clean.<\/p>\n

I lie down. The bed is too small, so I stretch it pushing my arms and feet in opposite directions until it fits perfectly.<\/p>\n

I feel tired, relaxed and peaceful. My work is done and done well.<\/p>\n

Everyone leaves quietly through the cracks in the doors.<\/p>\n

After a while, I get up and leave in the same manner.<\/p>\n

Looking back on the old doors, I see the beautiful colored light shining through the many cracks and openings.<\/p>\n

I spin around in jubilation, my arms high above my head.<\/p>\n

I walk Home.<\/p>\n
