Field of Dreams

Recently, I realized my number one wish in life is to play ball with another man in a genuine, conscious, lasting, loving, fun and fulfilling relationship. However, today, I see that I still need to build my field.

In the last year, through many situations, I've been playing on dirt, thinking a good ball game is what I've been doing, but really I've only been distracting myself from building the field of my dreams. I've been playing in a sandlot, wishing my stadium was building itself.

Today, I toss to you: What is it going to take for you to build the field of your dreams? Where have you gotten off track, playing ball in an empty, unbuilt lot? Today, what do you need to do to pick up the shovel and start laying your foundation?

When you build it, they will come. Faith is a good friend to have.

I love the imagery and the metaphors. Thank you. I am thinking that the sandlot might be your created foundation. Though you wished "the stadium would build itself" I see that you were PLAYING AS YOU BUILT the stadium... you didn't wait for the first "official" game of the season to start playing! ~ As for me, today, I am I am appreciating more and more that my attraction to mosaics and quilts is because like them, my life is a network of pieces, each beautiful and seemingly unrelated. Together, they make an incredible and well mastered piece...me.
