I Had a Dream...
I had a curious dream this evening.
I rarely go to bed earlier than 4am, however accidentally dosed off on my new sofa just after midnight.
And I was suddenly transported to a memorial service, for Dudley Moore, held in my own apartment.
Present were Liza Minelli and a couple of close friends. In prayer, they were being appreciative of the life of Dudley Moore.
I however remained silent.
Until near the end.
When I suddenly said...
"To me, there will only ever be one Arthur. One sparkling Dudley Moore, with his wit, and his enthusiasm, and his charm.
"But amidst the tears here today, I've realized something even greater. I realized that we, as human beings, still find it way too difficult to wave goodbye to anything.
"We don't realize that it's better to have had something great in our lives for a short period of time - than to have never had it there at all.
"Surely that makes sense? And if it does, why aren't we all truly smiling - at the blessing we received?"
And at that point, a vision of Dudley Moore appeared -- smiling, in his Arthur character.
A little tipsy, he laughed and told us all to cheer up, did a little tap dance, then faded away.
We remained in silence -- until I woke up.
Yes, an unusual dream. But it really had an impact -- at least on me.
And so, today, take from this what you can...
Maybe you've recently lost something and are too busy focusing on the grief than the happiness of it's presence.
Or maybe you're taking life for granted, and not truly appreciating what you have today.
Either way -- take time out today to reflect.
And truly thank your own God for the blessings you have.
Happy Wednesday! :)
