When I see this, it reminds me that we were made to move. We were made to feel the sun on our face, the wind in our hair, the wet between our toes.
To close our eyes is to be able to dream, to imagine, to use our imagination. It is Something we need to do all of our lives, not just when we are children.
It says, it is well with my soul. Not that the checkbook is full of money, everyone is healthy or that we have the best neighbors in the world. It means that despite what is not going well in our lives, we are grateful for having a life. We understand that the sum may come out tomorrow and we are ready. If it doesn't, maybe the day after that, or the next day. That life is a series of emotions that run hot and cold. Nothing last forever, the good or the bad. Change is constant and if the glass is completely empty, it will not stay that way forever.
It means we have the ability within us, to close our eyes and imagine ourselves in a new way. In a new place, with a new mindset. All we have to do is close our eyes...
