Humbly dedicated to all those who
"have a Dream today",
and with thanks to all the authors in AD who wrote marvelous tributes, not only to Dr. King, but, again to all those who, like him, had and will always
"have a Dream today".

Stained Glass of Dreams


 


Small, anodyne. Conceivably forgotten
of intrinsic greatness, colours, transparencies
conceivably of angles, cohesion and nexus
of being particles, essential love geometrics
through which the light comes, in a great
stained-glass of dreams.


Small, anodyne. Conceivably amplified
in the intrinsic distortion of the opposites
of greatness, tainting colours, transparencies
nexus, conceivably angles, essentially unique
of the cohesion that forms, in love geometrics
through which the light comes, a great
stained-glass of dreams.


Small, but great, anodyne, never;
Conceivably right and yet ever seeking
the angle of cohesion, the transparent
colour, the sliver which fell, the nexus lost
conceivably found in the essence of light
that comes again, through a restored
stained-glass of dreams.


Small, never, the intrinsic design
of greater consequence, conceivably
the more the colours are emancipated
and the transparencies, the apparent nexus
of the light that comes, that is
projected through the cohesion
of a stained-glass of dreams.


Anodyne, never, the stained-glass
in the essence of diverse angles
mosaic of rare transparencies
finding the light of the whole
in the aim, immense, of the kaleidoscope
which builds, which soars the perfect
nexus, conceivably intrinsic
of the fragments.


Of them all, conceivably small
yet fundamental so that the light
may come through, coherent
in the intrinsic nexus of the great
stained-glass of dreams. Their dreams.
The dreams of us all.

"Let us not wallow in the valley of despair. I say to you today, my friends, that in spite of the difficulties and frustrations of the moment, I still have a dream. I have a dream today. I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight…"


Martin Luther Ling Jr.


"I am a dreamer,


I am indeed a practical dreamer,


My dreams are not airy nothings,


I want to convert,


My dreams into realities as far as possible."


Mahatma Gandhi


"From the viewpoint of absolute truth, what we feel and experience in our ordinary daily life is all delusion. Of all the various delusions, the sense of discrimination between oneself and others is the worst form, as it creates nothing but unpleasantness for both sides. If we can realize and meditate on ultimate truth, it will cleanse our impurities of mind and thus eradicate the sense of discrimination. This will help to create true love for one another. The search for ultimate truth is, therefore, vitally important."


The Dalai Lama


"We can do no great things, only small things with great love."


Mother Theresa of Calcutta


"All things appear and disappear because of the concurrence of causes and conditions. Nothing ever exists entirely alone; everything is in relation to everything else."


"He who experiences the unity of life sees his own Self in all beings, and all beings in his own Self, and looks on everything with an impartial eye."


Buddha

"essential love geometrics

stained-glass of dreams."

This concept is beautiful and unique (just like a stained-glass window!) What an awesome tribute to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. To be a part of the window that sheds light on humanity is a true honour and one that we should all strive for. Brilliant work, meu Amor!

Medicine used for soothing. Stained glass windows are entwined with the phenomena of "intellectual vision" and "inward voice." When looking at one particular stained glass window, that being The Rose Window I have posted in my den, for me, gives me a Quiet in which I describe a blank absorbtion through the prism of color and light, a contemplation of mental dreams. No one should take a hurried look at a stained glass window whether round or oblong in shape. Instead, to see the dream, one needs to study the sacred geometry and the color of the Stained Glass of Dreams quest. This piece is the supplier of Truth, Alexandra. Such Contemplation--->such higher positive enlightenment and attainment of the Absolute--->the Whole of
which the vision of the poet, you Alexandra give us light for future dreams, and transcends worldwide. Great tribute to Martin Luther King.

Truly this is a day that the Lord has made for a great man had to die to bring people together of all races. The wicked, evil and hatred can't last forever in this world. There will be a time when it will be all over and martin died in memory of that. God wants us all to live holy, love, peace and a togetherness with all generations. God bless you in all your endeavours.
