I had a dream the night before last. I was talking to my little sister. She was telling me I was standing in balance, but teetering back and forth. She told me I could either fall backwards or fall forwards... I told her I didn't want to fall backwards, and she told me, "the only thing keeping you from falling forwards is your fear of having infinite power..."

That was it... since having the dream I've been feeling really good. For a couple reasons, firstly I feel like a part of me is falling away in what has been a long process, these parts of me have been holding me back. Secondly I have felt like I've been about to fall into something extraordinary beyond my ability to foresee, and the dream is telling me, who loves balance that the only way forward is to fall, or rather take a small leap of faith. Thirdly, there was a sense in the dream that everything was going to be ok, and there was nothing to fear but fear itself. And lastly, it's nice to remember that I'm afraid of feeling like the power is my responsibility or mine at all, since as a very wise teacher once said, "there is no such thing as a man with power, since all power is borrowed from the Creator."

Be gentle with me... I am just a man.
