We are the raindrops that fall, from clouds filled and dreamt to the sky, kissing mother earth, joining with others raindrops dreamt, flowing from tranquil lake, to gentle stream, to mighty rushing river, seeking always reunion with source in the ocean of the infinite dreamer, that is God, that is LOVE, that is Infinity and the river of dreams in which we flow runs for eternity. We are the raindrops dreamt, from the ocean of the infinite dreamer, that falls and flows ever in LOVE…
just LOVE…

“A Dream Within A Dream
Take this kiss upon the brow!
And, in parting from you now,
Thus much let me avow-
You are not wrong, who deem
That my days have been a dream;
Yet if hope has flown away
In a night, or in a day,
In a vision, or in none,
Is it therefore the less gone?
All that we see or seem
Is but a dream within a dream.
I stand amid the roar
Of a surf-tormented shore,
And I hold within my hand
Grains of the golden sand-
How few! yet how they creep
Through my fingers to the deep,
While I weep- while I weep!
O God! can I not grasp
Them with a tighter clasp?
O God! can I not save
One from the pitiless wave?
Is all that we see or seem
But a dream within a dream?”
~ Edgar Allan Poe, The Complete Stories and Poems
