Seeing Stars
I
dreamed I was rearranging the stars. For a purpose I can no longer
remember. And then thinking they are so far away, and so large, how
could I possibly be rearranging them? But I knew I was doing it
nonetheless. When I awoke from this dream I thought about it for awhile.
Was it about changing my destiny? Or maybe the inability to change
one's destiny? I didn't know. And then I remembered
the thing about faith the size of a mustard seed being able to move
mountains. I've always taken that scripture as a kind of declaration of
determination. Like if you have enough faith you can do anything you
want to do. But now I hear it in a different way. If you have the faith
of a mustard seed you don’t need to do anything at all. Just be the
mustard seed. No need to move any mountains around for god’s sake! Let
nature take care of it. But then I realized that moving mountains is
exactly what a mustard seed does; when the mustard seed pushes up dirt
it moves the mountain. Kind of like how mustard on a hotdog can change
the whole hocky game. The seed rearranges the stars.
