I had a delightful dream last night which I need to share as it is directly connected to some of you and is certainly a story worth telling. The dream takes place in a variety of places, there are several different scenes, and there are a number of different people featured. The places are not important but the people are. The vast majority of the people in the dream are men that I know or men that I have known and who have passed over.
There wasn't a whole lot of dialog in the dream, and in some cases we just seemed to be walking together. The stand out feature though is that all the men that featured have a very similar quality but it is not a quality that is universally held or displayed by the majority of men. There is no single word to describe the quality these men hold so I'll have to describe their characteristics further. These men are the men who have mastered temporal life, their lives are stable, they have or had good jobs that they did well, they don't have emotional up and downs, they are sensible, reliable and trustworthy. These are the men you know you can 100% rely on if you need them; they are generous, kind and caring to those they know and even those they do not know. I will mention a few people who appeared in the dream - my father in law Tony was one of the first to appear near the beginning of the dream as were Nigel and Noel from Rockhampton. Jim from Bundaberg featured near the end but these few names only represent some of the men I know who have these qualities. Another man who springs to mind is Frank, not me but another Frank described by others as 'the gentleman of Bundamba railway station' or 'the elder statesman at Bundamba station - his quality was and still is certainly felt by myself and others. There are other men who didn't feature in the dream and I haven't named but certainly have this quality - some of you reading this will know who you are. I woke up this morning with a strong feeling of appreciation for these men, and the reflections they have provided for me over the years. They reflect to me the qualities of a true man, qualities that matter, qualities that make a difference..!!
