like ones who dreamed

When the LORD brought back the captives to Zion,
we were like men who dreamed.
Our mouths were filled with laughter,
our tongues with songs of joy.

Then it was said among the nations,
"The LORD has done great things for them."
The LORD has done great things for us,
and we are filled with joy.

Those who sow in tears
will reap with songs of joy.
He who goes out weeping,
carrying seed to sow,
will return with songs of joy,
carrying sheaves with him.

-Psalm 126 (a pilgrim song)

i love that - "like men who dreamed"
Einstein says there are two ways to live life: as if nothing is a miracle or as though everything is a miracle. i´d rather err on the side of laughing too much or singing too much. God, give me the eyes to see miracles in the world around me, to dream and believe, to be hopeful and open to change and to new perspectives. Thank you for fresh winds and spring rains, for volcanoes on the horizons, for babies smiling in their mothers´arms, for crowded busses and forgiving friends.
