The Golden Whistle

About two weeks ago, I saw a man wearing a silver whistle around his neck. I was immediately reminded of a dream I had had the night before that also involved a whistle. I never would have remembered this dream if I hadn't seen a whistle that was the exact same shape the next day. Even more, the dream was no ordinary dream and the whistle was no ordinary whistle. In fact, in the dream, the whistle contained infinite creative power. You could literally blow this whistle and create a world if you wanted. It also felt as if I had had the whistle before, but had lost it a long long time ago. Also in the dream, was my life long teacher and mentor. I asked him, "Greg, do you know about the whistle?" His reply, "Oh yes!"

Two weeks later (No longer dreaming) I was sitting with Greg in his office and asked him, "Does the image of a sacred golden whistle have any meaning to you?" Without hesitation he stands up, walks to the corner of his office and opens a little cabinet, out of which he pulls a golden whistle on a chain. He lays it on the table and says, "Did it look like that?" !!!

It turns out that there have only been two items in his life that he felt he absolutely had to have and this whistle was one of them.

This miracle has been such a powerful reminder to me of the great and perfect order of things. It has helped renew a deep sense of purpose and direction. This whistle now represents a calling that I believe many of us are beginning to hear and greater and greater volume. I like to think of it as a call home.

This experience has also reminded me of a poem by Hafiz,

" I am the hole in the flute through which the Christ's breath flows through. Listen to the music."
