Dream Vision

"A composer determines  every note for instruments and voices; a novelist chooses the exact placement of words and the beginnings and endings of sentence and paragraphs; the painter selects colors; the dancer enlivens gesture; the stage actor modifies pauses and rhythms of expression.  But the filmmaker must depend on an almost infinite number of variables and an unpredictable array of talents to collaborate with him in the fulfillment of his dream idea..."
- Alfred Hitchcock.

In our lives we capture a vision of what it means to be fully alive and communicate that vision, like a filmmaker, to every person.  The dream is evident in the way we treat people, the manner we greet them, the words we use, the clothes we wear...  In other words, our lives are the acting out of the vision of how we see life.

Make the dream-actions worthy of you and God.

Speech

  “To say the right thing at the right time, keep still most of the time.”     John W. Roper Those who get in trouble most often are those cannot seem to keep still, remain silent.  Life teaches many lessons.  Among the best lessons of life is one my father taught me at an early age was, “If you have nothing nice to say, say nothing.” The contributions we make to life via our mouth are many and varied.  Most of the time, I reckon, they are not contributions at all, but things that diminish the richness of life.    

The Price of Misjudgment

“If a man does not judge himself, all things judge him, and all things become messengers of God.” – Nachman of Bratslav ”If I do not accept responsibility for the evil I do, the very earth will rise up to judge and condemn me. The stars, the trees in the wind will provide sentence…”   -Julius Lester
