If I Were A... |

If
I were a tree, I would want to have a thick trunk and lots of branches. If I were a seed I would want to be hard enough to protect myself and soft enough to break open when I arrived in a hospitable environment. If I were a snowflake I would want to be appreciated for my beauty. If I were a raindrop I would want to fall into the ocean where I could combine my essence with the larger reality. If I were a speck of dirt, I would want to be a fertile one. If I were a fish, I would want to swim in a large school. If I were a bird, I would want to sit upon a great nest, allowing my warm presence to create possibility. If I were a labyrinth I would want my beauty to draw others to my potential for healing. If I were a hope, I would want to guide. If I were dying, I would want to bless those who witnessed my disappearance. If I were a bullet, I would want to fly strait, but not to harm. If I were a star, I would hope my demise would inspire. If I were a cloud, I would want to float freely, romping over vast and varied landscapes. If I were a tsunami, I would desire to be reintegrated. If I were me, I would want to find sources of joy and faith. |
