Reality Dream or Dream Reality

It’s difficult to live in a world where I can dwell on the past and live in the future. I chase that dream I had, blind to the world around me. One day, I trip, and I fall. The dust swirls up into the air, forming a cloud of nebulous, gritty sightlessness, but I already cannot see. I feel like a child, crying out, alone, at nothing, like waking from a dream. It isn’t real. Not yet. But I tend to forget that. And it hurts almost as much as being rejected in the present. I love my gift of future sight, but every time I look in the stars, it seems I lose a bit of myself, a bit of today, a bit of now. Sometimes I just need to walk alone, I guess. Keep my eyes on the future.

Keep walking.

Keep walking.

I’ll make it.

Projection

Which experiences will I play, projected on the walls of my memory, called upon like an old friend? I pin up the lessons I've learned by a firm hand and a soft hand. Moments and moments of teachings reflecting myself and projecting my future as they pass through the front door of my imagination and out the window of my eyes. Is this the desire of my soul? Do I speak to confirm the truths that I've learned or do I speak to be taught of the flaws in my thoughts? Some words will fade away like stars in the day when I hire other orchestras play harmonies with what I have imagined... or foreseen. Is there a difference?.. Do you understand what I said when I meant to say what I did? Will you look ahead to design your patchwork square in a quilt that stretches farther than human eye can see? Eventually to eternity?

A Bit of Heart

A time when we don’t hate what we don't understand

A time when eloquent speech flows free and unbanned

A time when flying cars zip by cities on a strange world 

A time when nations unite under a new flag unfurled

A time when everyone has clean water and plenty to eat

A time when truth's more important than a post or tweet

A time when we rise to meet the future without fear 

A time so far away, yet with a bit of heart so near

Rome Fell, Egyptians Fell..USA?

To see the future is to acknowledge the past.

"Ask and you shall receive" is correct. Should you pursue the knowledge of the future you will have it, but you must be earnest, open hearted and desiring with no evil intent in your heart. It is then, with meditation and guidance of oddities, you will see parts of the future.

To wake up disturbed, knowing something ominous will occur is foresight. It is accurate.

Do not doubt your visions and dreams.

I have been "gifted" with foresight since childhood. My adult children have chosen not to be parents. They witnessed my accuracy all of their lives. Part of them rejects all of this notion, understandably. Actions speak louder than words. They know that children are "screwed" in today's time.

Being future minded can be a positive goal oriented experience.

The true future minded person sees that we (In America) are in for a hell of a time.

During the atrocities and strife soon to come (approximately 2022, after the California quake-2020) the understanding of love will be realized around the world. Compassion turned to action will be all that is available to those in need.
