A Story


Once upon a time... I had two friends with big, wise, wide open hearts. These two friends also had a big dream, a dream who's roots had grown as they had made their way through life together. A dream that, at first, only the two of them could see. But they were adventurous sorts, and they decided to set out on the path towards their dream. They planned and they worked and they gave their dream all the love and attention that they would give their own baby child. And the dream was born, and the dream began to breath and be real. Around this time, I went to visit these friends and their dream. I went in the dream with them, and felt it was all around me. And once inside, I was amazed. I was amazed at how smart it was and how wise was the way that its parts fit together and how good it felt, in so many ways, to be there. I was amazed at the value to be gained from being there. I was amazed that my friends knew not only to dream a beautiful dream , but to make it happen in the real world. Wow. Not only that though, because, the dream kept growing. The dream wanted to grow, and it grew into a size where my two friends could no longer hold the dream in their own two arms alone. The dream was growing, and my friends were growing too. And they dove into it with their big, wise, wide open hearts, and they dove into all they had learned in their travels together, and they created a dream within a dream. And the dream within the dream was a dream to attract and train other dreamers with big, wise, wide open hearts and with capable, loving arms to help them carry the big dream. And my two friends planned and worked and gave this new dream within a dream all the love and attention they would give their own child, and this dream within a dream was also born and became real. And they did attract amazing people, but even more, within the dream within a dream, these amazing people blossomed and shone, so that they did help to hold the dream in their capable, loving arms, and together they helped to make the dream ever more and more beautiful. And the dream, and the dream within a dream within a dream, that were first dreamed by my two friends, were blessings that blessed all they touched. And so they continue to be to this very day. -with all her love Nira
