the other day i had a dream
that sent me shuffling into the wilderness of my spirituality
i went in
with the warmth of my thoughts
and the mystery
of its purpose
and then
there he was
what i had been looking for!
he was waiting for me
my spirit guide
MY SPIRIT ANIMAL
bambi
grown up bambi
manbi?
"follow me"
he said
OF COURSE I FOLLOWED
like a moth to a flame
"Okay" he said
"two things"
"First, just so you know, this is a dream. we're gonna fly later.
Second, i have to show you something.
kay lets go"
majestic.
"BAMBI" i said
"What does this MEAN?"
"Who AM i?"
"What do i have to GAIN from this, bambi??"
"What?"
"What? what nothing. you're overreacting. We're almost there - this isn't the flying part yet"
majestic.
it was the eden of my subconscious
there,
all of it
all for the taking
leaves and leaves and leaves
beautiful leaves
was this it??
was my spiritual journey all for this??
this beautiful leaf?
my spirit called
i knew what to do
i knew now what i was born to do
what i was created for
"paint it"
bambi said
"paint it,"
"WITH YOUR HANDS"
YES
YES, BAMBI
I PAINTED
I PAINTED WITH ALL MY MIGHT AND POWER
it was too much
i felt my soul swelling inside of me
it was forming!
and there it was.
the leaf.
the dream leaf
"i've done it, bambi!
tell me!
tell me what this means!"
"It means!"
"Now you can draw that leaf"
"WAKE UP!"
and i did.
