7/17/20 - Time tells all, or that is how the saying goes. The blog is to share and to give a little. We’ll see what value it has and where it goes. Gotta take the first step in the journey. You get a little of my adventures, stories and thoughts. That is the purpose, no fear, just action. I’ll catch you up on the back story if you hang around. Patience is a wonderful virtue.
I had a cathartic dream on 7 July 2020 and here’s the message: LOVE THE PEOPLE YOU’RE WITH NOW! TELL THEM YOU LOVE THEM AND SHOW THEM THAT YOU LOVE THEM NOW!
The dream was in black and white, similar to the Alfred Hitchcock movies. I was in the past. It was my high school days in Columbus, NE. There were bad people trying to destroy the town. They were going to blow up the levee and it would flood the city, and everyone would die. I was working with two guys dressed as G-Men. We were following leads and checking things out. They were in charge, but I was part of the team (not sure how a high schooler works that!). We finally figured out the plan, found the explosives and disarmed the bombs. We then set out to capture the villains. I told the G-Men that I had to first check on my friend and family. They nodded and said “Go” and off I went in my green Chevy Vega.
As I was driving, I felt a wave of fear for my friends and family. It reverberated throughout my body. I drove faster. Finally, I arrived at an outdoor party where all my friends were! I felt overjoyed. The movie then turned color. It was vibrant and alive. I went up to each one of them and just gave them a big hug. There were friends there at the party that have since passed away, but I felt the everyone was saved and had come back from the dead. It was hard to control my emotions and said, “I just wanted to check on you and tell you I love you.” This made everyone kinda freak out and say “are you okay Melch?” “Yep, I just wanted you to know that.” I responded.
I got back into the Vega and sped to the high school auditorium. I screeched the car to a halt and raced inside. There was a basketball game going on. I rushed inside, ran up the bleachers and saw my entire family, parents, brothers, sisters, grandpa. I saw how alive they were and felt that I needed to tell them how important they were and how much I loved them. I needed to do all I could from that time on top make their lives better. I went to each on of them and hugged them and told them I loved them and I’d be there for them. They were astonished. I was watching this happen just like it was a movie. I then looked up at myself in the dream, locking in our eyes and yelled “TAKE THE TIME NOW TO SHOW AND TELL PEOPLE THAT YOU LOVE THEM! TAKE THE TIME NOW TO MAKE THEIR LIFE BETTER!” It seared into my heart and I thought I will make people’s life better NOW. I thought this both from the perspective of being in high school and knowing the future was ahead of me AND from being in the present. I had a second chance to live a better life!
I then woke up. I was overwhelmed with a wave of emotion and sadness. I could not go back. I could not help steer their lives in a better direction. I could not go back and cherish the time with them then! I began to cry and got out of the bed and went into the living rooms. I just kept crying for the next hour. There was no going back. There was only now.
You cannot go back into time. You can only live your best life now. Now is the time you can make a difference in people’s life. Now is the time you can give your best. Now is the time you can be the change you seek in the world and others. Now is the time you can stop looking back and live your best life.
So – Be the bright light. Get better; talk, walk, share, study, give, participate and show everyone that you love them. Life is precious. Now is the time for you to live 100%, give all you got, be the one that shines and is not beat down with all the sorrows, distractions, glitter and BS of the world. Now is the time to live your best life, show and people you love them and DO THE SAME FOR YOURSELF.
