Dream a dream, a hopeful dream, as children do on Christmas Eve, imaginings, surprising things to hold and to believe. Dream a time, this Christmas time, when no one's hungry or afraid; that weapons go and harvests grow, that friends are met and made. Dream a peace, our planet's peace, the greening of the earth at play, the holy ground where life is found, where God has touched the clay. Dream a gift, the Christmas gift that changes everything we see: the shimmering of angel wing, the Child, the Mystery.
