i had a dream. it looked like a cartoon. there was a big mountain stone, looked like a whale, a piece came off and started to run away down the road but it remembered, it stood up, returned and attached to the mountain of stone. the whole world broke out in applause, the clapping was very loud, it woke me up. i sat up in my bed, it was four a.m. a voice said to me, “you will go back to Georgia,” i was told many things. I was told to go to the mountain. at first i had no idea what all this meant.
weeks later it became clear there was such a mountain, the mountain, it was in Georgia. one serendipity surprise after another led me there. i went. magic happened. strange things occurred. i was never the same. once i told God, “what do you want from me? what is it you want me to do? i am so confused…answer this question in a dream, answer it tonight.”
I had a dream. it looked like green. there was all green, big green, nothing but green. sage green, celery green from edge to edge of my dreaming screen, nothing but this color of green. “what did that mean?”, i asked myself waking up at four a.m. a voice said to me, “green is the answer.” i was told nothing further. I wrote it down. i had no idea what it meant.
weeks later i found a church to send my daughter to Sunday school and study. it was green inside, all over, everywhere, that color green. i signed her up right away. “so that must be it”, i thought. that seemed to be an answer, but it was rather dull. we spent eight years studying at that church, it was a good circumstance. we left it one day.
many years later, i moved to Vermont, then moved further north in Vermont. “Is this an appropriate house for me, for us, for my work?”, i asked over and over again to myself, to others.. no answer seemed to be right. two more years went bye…at the Medicine Wheel i said to God, “enough is enough already; alright, is this the place to buy or not? i want to know now.” i looked up at the trees, many seen before, many looked similar, been here before at this familiar circle, one tree beckoned to me. someone had put paint on it long ago. it was green paint. it was green paint, that same color as in that dream. the color green seen on this tree gave me an answer. i bought the house that September. that very day we painted it the color green.
