A
place to be alone, to close my
eyes and dream of the world as I
wish it could be. A world of
happiness, of acceptance and
respect for our
differences.
 A
world as I believe our Deity
intended it to be. Each of us
living our lives, contributing
something to society, accepting
that we are different, but our
very differences making our
world interesting and complete.
We
did not choose the color of our
skin. Neither did we choose the
Country in which we were born.
But we have the right to choose
how we live. We have the right
to choose our mate, to choose
our friends. We have the right
to choose when and how we
worship. We also must choose how
we treat others. We need to
remember, we are, all humans,
the same. Like it or not, we are
built the same way. We have a
heart, a soul, we have feelings
that are the same. We ache, we
laugh, we mourn or we rejoice.
We are the same inside.
Yes,
I come here to dream. To dream
of a world where we are
gentle with each other. Where we
accept our differences, and
respect each other as
individuals. A world where we
wait to make a judgment about
someone until we know them. Not
instantly dislike them because
of the color of their skin,
their "disabilities",
or their accent or education. Is
it a dream? Is it a fantasy? Or
will the day come when I will
speak only as I want others to
speak to me? When I treat others
only the way I wish them to
treat me?
I
dream of a gentle world, a world
of acceptance. I dream of
a world where we don't feel the
need to destroy what we don't
understand. I dream of a world
where we protect the Earth, the
creatures on the earth, that our
Deity placed here for a purpose.
Yes, I come here to dream. To
hope. To renew my faith,
because I believe in fantasy, in
dreams, and I believe in a far
more Gentle World than the one
in which I now live.
