The Dream

One night, a year and a half after my Grandfather's death and approximately seven days into the recording of this album, I dreamt an incredibly vivid dream

I found myself entering a kind of "workship" or small factory, where several men, including my father, were busy at their workbenches performing various tasks.  My fathers face lit up when he saw me.  "You'll never guess who's here!" he cried excitedly.

Instantly my heart leaped.  "Could it be?" I thought.  Then denial.  "No, he's gone, he can't be here."  But still my pulse quickened and longing rose up and forced tears to my eyes.  My father stepped aside.  "Oh dear God - Yes, yes it's him.  He's here and he's alive!"

Grandpa looked up from his work.  A generous smile began spreading over that gentle, familiar face.  He turned and took a step toward me.  I ran and leaped and we both fell onto soft cushiony grass where I became a child again, rolling and giggling and safe in those wonderfully strong arms.  Too soon, the dream ended.  Yet in the house in which I woke, the sound of that child's laughter still echoed down the hall.
