About two years ago, a devastating wildfire swept through our community.  We came together, supported each other, helped each other.  We belong to a  community that dreamed a new dream.  Today some of those dreams have come true.  As long as we can dream, we can hope.  And as long as we can hope, we can thrive.

Jan Garrett and her husband JD Martin live and write songs together near Aspen Colorado, a place that has also seen its share of wildfires.  She wrote this song when the smoke of wildfires filled the air around their mountain home.

“I Dreamed Of Rain” 

I dreamed of rain and the rains came,
soft and easy, sweet and clear.
I dreamed of rain and the rains came,
and peace spread over the land.
 
I dreamed of summer and the winds changed,
and the green was easy and the rivers ran clear.
I dreamed of summer and the winds changed,
and peace spread over the land.
 
And the flowers bloomed in the desert
and the air was fresh and clear.
I dreamed of rain and the rains came,
and peace spread over the land.
 
I dreamed of freedom and the moon rose,
and the way was easy and the path was clear.
I dreamed of freedom and the moon rose,
and peace spread over the land.
 
And the guardian stars are shining,
and the night is bright and clear.
I dreamed of freedom and the moon rose,
and peace spread over the land.
 
I dreamed of heaven and the earth sang,
and the sound was easy, and the song was clear.
I dreamed of heaven and the earth sang,
and peace spread over the land.
 
And the ancient pain is forgotten,
and the fathers’ debts are clear.
I dreamed of heaven and the earth sang,
and peace spread over the land.
