I have a dream

I have a dream that one day my children may be free from the sins of their father, sins passed down from generation to generation, dyed white in denial, waiting to visit upon them that which they did not choose.

I have a dream that they may be free from imperatives hidden in the unconscious which generate stumbling blocks. That, instead, such things may be transformed by grace into stepping stones to wiser ways.

I have a dream that one day my desire to be seen and known is supplanted by the desire to see and know those who suffer similarly, without knowledge or support, to be given the strength to reach out, to lift up, to co-suffer and in so doing find healing together.

I have a dream.
