1. If we desire a deeper life then we must choose between the passage God proposes and the passage we have dreamed. For early dreams, though big and broad, meander unfulfilled and have no depth until God's hand can dredge a dreamer's silt. 2. If we desire a better world, then life must run its course in us, a river running to the thirsty from its Source. And we, as deepened channels, bless the water on its way, rejoicing that we touch and know the Life that we convey. From Songs for the Cycle ©2004 by Michael Hudson. Church Publishing Incorporated.
