Sacrifices

I had a dream last night…..

I found myself living in a cave, many people lived in these caves on the edge on a huge orchard. I didn't understand why we lived in caves, stealing from each other to survive when we knew damn well we could return to our modern homes. Still, in my dream... we CHOSE to live in these dreadful caves.

One morning I went to the edge of the orchard and I found out why we chose to live this way. As I stood there I saw the most incredible sunrise of my life. The sun didn't rise gradually in these parts the way we're accustomed to…. Instead, the sun rose instantaneously, immediately delivering it's beautiful, shimmering golden tones behind the huge orchard of trees….. THAT is why we chose to live as animals in caves…. So that we could stand at the edge of this orchard every morning and see the most beautiful landscape known to man.

So, in spite of the struggles, in spite of the darkness we feel sometimes...there's always a light in our lives that makes everything worth it...

What are you willing to sacrifice for the beautiful in your life?
