And as all have not
faith, seek ye diligently and teach one another words of wisdom; yea, seek ye
out of the best books words of wisdom; seek learning, even by study and also by
faith.
Awakened Dreams
4/14/05, 5/12/06
The world can be a
scary place
But something sets
me free
With music of
another world
To dream how things
can be.
Emotion raw, emotion
pure
Great thoughts to
ride upon
Truth spoken there
for all to hear
Where minds are
later drawn.
Awakened dreams once
long forgot
Are stirred within
its wake
That yet, perhaps,
there is a chance
Of dreams a future
make.
Ennobled heart, so
tired once
Now stands with life
anew
Fresh strength to
walk that higher road
To show those dreams
as true.
For as long as I can
remember, I have always been drawn to the power of story and song. I have
probably read more than a couple thousand books and seem to have an insatiable appetite for good
stories. They have so much to learn from, be it understanding of different
people and situations, communication, economics, society, politics, government,
science, humanity - life overall. And in these stories I see purpose and value
in life and so many parallels that demonstrate gospel principles whether they
are obvious or understood through the character's lack of understanding. It
provides an energy and centering effect on me and tends to have the greatest
ability to restore my balance when life throws curve-balls.
