Brenda Ruth's Memoirs'

I had a dream last night. It wasn’t a very pleasant one yet it felt so real like I was there. Even as if I was participating in the actions or non actions of the basis of the dream.

I woke up asking the universe to take this9 dream away and let me see a different one.

But then I realized that I needed to see that dream.  Dreams, I believe are very symbolic in how we see and act in the world. This particular dream made me think am I shying away from responsibility to speak up when I see injustice? If it’s not happening to me but to someone else, is there something I can even do?  If I am really honest with myself I know there is always something someone can do.

The excuse of its happening in a different part of the world and not much I can do won’t fly anymore.  As technology of the internet and TV  have created such awareness.

However, this was my dream and this is my take away.  No matter how uncomfortable it is to stand up by yourself. You give others permission to stand up alongside you. You may feel all alone but you are not.  You are never alone.

Be courageous and step out of your comfort zone. Share your prespectitive. It may not be greeted with warmth and acceptance but truth will always prevail.

Thank you for reading dear friends.
