September 26, 2021Last Night While I Was Sleeping. A Poem by Antonio Machado (translated by Willis Barnstone and Coleman Barks). Illustrated by the Blue-eyed Bear as perspective on her spiritual journey.
Last night while I was sleeping I dreamt -blessed illusion- a fountain flowed inside my heart. Water, tell me by what hidden channel you came to me with a spring of new life I never drank?

Last night while I was sleeping I dreamt -blessed illusion- I had a beehive inside my heart, and from my old failures the golden bees were contriving white combs and sweet honey.

Last night while I was sleeping I dreamt -blessed illusion- a fiery sun glowed inside my heart. It was fire, giving off heat from a red hearth. It was the sun throwing out light and made me weep.
Last night while I was sleeping I dreamed -blessed illusion- that it was God I held inside my heart.
