"A GIANT JESUS At My Window" by ND Rodriguez
(Spiritual Lift Corner - for those so inclined)
Short-story copyrights 12/12/15 (creative grammar rules bent bit)
Dreams, turn reality on its ear,
This one no different, though no drama;
Or flying in mid-air through trees;
Or treading oceans deep while Giraffes & Hippos
frolic next to Grey Whales nearer to shore.
Just a mix of normal & subtle surrealism
on a oddly lit lazy afternoon.
No Sun insight but light source from somewhere,
Standing inside the middle of my old room,
our family home on Donnawood Way.
2nd floor bedroom tween parent’s & sister’s rooms;
a reoccurring landscape…dream opens there.
Still remembering this dream 12 years now,
where others have dissolved into time, this one still lingers.
Finding myself in body, not observing, assessing quietly,
my old simple familiar safe square room…
Just standing there, looking out my familiar window.
Onto an unfamiliar tree-less lined Main Street, several blocks long.
Hints of a small town in the distance, not there before;
yet something familiar, a sense of comfort still present.
When out of nowhere, a figure appears in the distance,
lumbering down the center of this Main Street,
toward our family home, not scared but unsure.
Slowly getting closer…and larger...larger?!?!!
Trying to make out who might this be…
And the closer He got, all I took in was His head.
And His height… as tall as our 2 story house;
it was Him, head as wide as my window…
Gently giantly slowly leaning to peek in…
A little cheeky sparkle in His huge eyes
and at the curve of His mouth…noooo way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Way!
A Giant...Jesus?!?!!!!!!!
Come to see…me!?!?!
The stunned wonder eclipsed any fear...
Astonished, wide-eyed, mouth-open, speechless
gradually registering who this is…
Silently assessing each other…
Taking in His giant head, kind beautiful knowing eyes & gentle smile…
Respectfully looking into my soul & all my present trials,
sure not to spook me…but never a moment’s fear,
just growing wonder and what, why did He come…to me?!???
This shared moment…that up until end of 2002
I hadn’t ever really given You much thought…
But still, He had a message to give me...w/no words.
His pure thought arrived inside me…
“Everything is going to be alright”.
Like a gentle spiritual hug to my soul.
Taking it in as much as I could understand back then…
The dream was over as it started...
from the uncluttered blank safe plane between sleep & waking.
And quietly in myself there it stayed, all this time…
Not really registering what I’d been given…until now.
Recalling it every now and then...
But this reoccurring echo of another message, in my heart now,
getting steadily stronger...
“I am your Brother. You are not alone. You are love and loved”.
Like a daily warm prayer...
Up until this year, never shared this profound dream
with anyone…I can’t even say why.
Maybe my voice and heart were not yet strong enough together
to put into words... not even being a defined "born again Christian".
But still His pure thought heals something in me; I am His sister.
His simple message... I know now…not just meant for me…
We are all His Sisters & Brothers, if this resonates on one's path.
And maybe a timely message…
needed now more than ever, through the Divine Feminine.
As from Mary Magdalene’s Gospels,
You valued the Feminine spiritual wisdom as equals,
long before others could find the courage & love to do so...
Mirroring our value…leading me back to my Infinite Universal Divine Love source…
Where All are welcome to reside, thrive & recharge
of our own free will and to do good with it.
Letting your pure healing Love in, from Divine Source…
a Love, I can now say…heals like no other.
Extending this Loving Gift to you this Grateful Holiday Season and beyond.
Very Truly & Humbly yours,
Norma (Chaplain in discerning process)
and Life Long Faithful Spiritual Student
