Ghandi in Ireland

In this Irish monument, Gandhi crouches by the words of William Butler Yeats:

Had I the heavens’ embroidered cloths,
Enwrought with golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
Of night and light and the half-light,
I would spread the cloths under your feet:
But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.

What precious dreams do you offer up to the world?

The Daily Compass offers words and images to inspire spiritual reflection and encourage the creation of a more loving, inclusive and just world. Produced by The Church of the Larger Fellowship, the Unitarian Universalist Congregation Without Walls.

One response to “Ghandi in Ireland

  1. L. Dwayne Decker

    What precious dreams do you offer up to the world? …
    I gave up dreams … and hopes … and any hope for love; when Lisa walked out of my life. I have nothing of my own, worth anything; because I gave all of myself, to her.
