A Dream of a World Made New
By Jeff Francisco
In my daydream I see for myself more time spent making deeper connections with others as well as allowing myself to have bolder personal dreams unbounded by ‘my reality.’ And for our community at Pilgrims I dream of our Sanctuary and community being filled with even more vibrant people, singing yet louder and participating in more activities. I also dream of our existing Pilgrim-dreams being shared more widely in our community, city, Nation and World.
In the world at large I dream of us all having enough resources and understanding the resources that we all have. This includes truly understanding the value of the resources, the ramifications for not using them well and knowing the truly necessary amount of the resources. This dream includes resources such as time, personal connections and space, natural resources like water and oil and monetary and trade goods. The world over, I dream that we all have the unbridled ability to dream and pursue those dreams, as the tools would be available. Training, whether it was a formal school, mentors or other means of sharing knowledge would be available. Our individual and communal dreams would not be limited or cut short because of having to grow up too soon, because of societal norms or family tradition.
