The Silent Orchestra

This was a vision, fresh and clear as a mountain stream

The mind revealing itself to itself

In my vision I was on the veranda of a vast estate, a palazzo of some fantastic proportion

There seemed to emanate from it a light from within this gleaming radiant marble

I'd known this place, I'd in fact been born and raised there

This was my first return, a reunion with the deepest wellsprings of my being

[Wandering about, I noticed happily that the house had been immaculately maintained.]

[There'd been added a number of additional rooms but in a way that blended so seamlessly with the original construction one would never detect the difference.]

[Returning to the house's grand foyer there came a knock at the door.]

[My son was standing there.]

He was happy and carefree...clearly living a life of deep harmony and joy

[We embraced, a warm and loving embrace nothing withheld.]

[We were in this moment, one.]

My vision ended

And I awoke with a tremendous feeling of optimism and confidence

[in you and your future. That was my vision of you.]
