Today’s lesson is simple: create a beautiful dream.

The card reminds us that the dream of life is not fixed. You design it each day with what you say, how you act, and the values you choose to hold. The difference between a dream that feels heavy and one that feels alive often comes down to the discipline of your word.

When I think of ZAO, I see the beauty of collective dreaming. We have artists, builders, and community members who share one space and contribute their voice. Each voice shifts the direction of the dream. Some days it feels chaotic, other days it feels in sync, but the underlying truth is that we are building something worth believing in.

This teaching pushes me to remember that every dream has to be created with intention. The easy path is to let negativity steer, to let fear shape outcomes, or to use careless words that cut the flow of trust. The harder path, and the more rewarding one, is to use your words to encourage, uplift, and guide the dream forward.

Our work is not about chasing perfection. It is about shaping a vision of life where beauty, love, and community are non-negotiable. That is what it means to create a beautiful dream. And it begins with what you say today.
