October 13, 2024 West Principal’s Diary
Graham spent the morning with the Princess organizing things for the wedding. In the afternoon, he got a few minutes to go into his dream studio and close the door.
The thought of an earlier poem he had written came to mind:
If in their minds they can find the switch
And turn it with a little twist
And to open they do set
And from fear they don’t let
Of course they still have to care
If things remain up in the air
To say, “We don’t know,” don't be afraid
“We’ll find it yet, we’ll have it made.”
This little knob, this little turn
You will see and you will learn
Will open up the power of man
And release the energy behind the dam
And with the world it will flood
And wash away all the blood
And finally begin a new era of love
What does a new era of love look like? Could a new start be involved? Could forgiveness be involved? Could listening to dreams be involved? Could wondering about the Infinite Mastodon be involved? Could hugs be involved? Could optimism be involved? Could the good dream emotions be involved? Could listening be involved? Could “We know” and “We don’t know” be involved?
Graham could feel the momentum building up. It was when the shift in focus to the Great Mystery happened, when they began to color in each page, when they began sharing their dreams, personal and shared, and most importantly, it is when they began to feel the good dream emotions. They were real and they began to sustain them from day to day because they accompanied their relentlessness and their stories.
