Blueprints for my next construction job were spread out on the kitchen table before me, but I couldn\u2019t focus on them. My mind was on a different kitchen table, one I hadn\u2019t seen in decades. \u201cWhat are you thinking about?\u201d my wife, Arbutis, asked me. She could always tell when my mind was somewhere else.<\/p>\n

\u201cI had that same dream again last night,\u201d I said. \u201cNight after night, the same dream<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe one about your grandmother?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s the one.\u201d In the dream, I was sitting at Mamaw\u2019s kitchen table. I recognized it right away. Growing up, I spent summers with Mamaw. In the dream I was alone at the table\u2014or at least I seemed to be. I could hear Mamaw\u2019s voice speaking to me, but she wasn\u2019t there. It was troubling.<\/p>\n

\u201cDidn\u2019t you and Mamaw used to sit together at that kitchen table at night?\u201d Arbutis asked.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe did,\u201d I said. I remembered just how it started. I was seven years old, spending my first night by myself with my grandparents<\/a>. Sometime after going to bed I woke up. I looked around the bedroom, lit by the soft glow of an old kerosene lamp outside the door. I heard a sound. Someone was in the kitchen.<\/p>\n

I sat up and looked out the window at the star-filled sky. There wasn\u2019t a hint of daylight. It must be the middle of the night<\/i>, I thought.<\/p>\n

From the kitchen, I heard someone speaking. It was Mamaw\u2019s voice, but I couldn\u2019t understand what she was saying. So I slipped out of bed and tiptoed to the kitchen door.<\/p>\n

Mamaw was alone at the kitchen table, her hands folded as if in prayer. She was speaking, but when I poked my head into the kitchen, I couldn\u2019t see anyone else there.<\/p>\n

\u201cCome in, child, and sit with me for a while,\u201d Mamaw said.<\/p>\n

I pulled up a chair and climbed into it. \u201cWho are you talking to?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cGod,\u201d Mamaw said, as if the answer was obvious.<\/p>\n

\u201cDoes he listen?\u201d I asked.<\/p>\n

\u201cOf course he listens. The creator will listen to all who call upon him in Jesus\u2019 name.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cDoes he ever talk back?\u201d I asked. I tried to imagine what God\u2019s voice would sound like<\/a>. It would probably be big and gruff, like a bear\u2019s growl.<\/p>\n

Mamaw gently touched the side of my face. \u201cGod doesn\u2019t always speak in words,\u201d she explained.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf he doesn\u2019t use words, how does he talk to you?\u201d I asked.<\/p>\n

\u201cSometimes his message may come in a dream or a feeling deep in your heart. That\u2019s how he talks to me here in the kitchen.\u201d<\/p>\n

I looked around doubtfully. The kitchen seemed very big and dark so late at night. As if anything could be hiding, waiting to jump out and get me. Mamaw must have seen I was afraid, because she turned up the kerosene lamp to show me there was nothing there.<\/p>\n

\u201cNow I\u2019m going to dim the lamp,\u201d she said. \u201cThis can be our quiet time together.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mamaw lowered the flame to a soft glow, then blew it out completely. It was so dark I couldn\u2019t see Mamaw. She might have disappeared completely. Then, out of the dark, I heard her voice. I didn\u2019t speak Cherokee like my grandmother did, so I couldn\u2019t make out what she was saying. But God understood all languages. The slow rhythm of her chant was like a lullaby, and I lay my head on my arms and fell asleep.<\/p>\n

When the rooster woke me up the next morning, I was back in my room with sunlight streaming across my bed. Mamaw\u2019s voice in the dark kitchen seemed like a dream, a wonderful dream. Had it really happened at all?<\/p>\n

\u201cIt wasn\u2019t a dream,\u201d Mamaw assured me when I asked her about it. \u201cYou were with me last night during my quiet time with our creator, and then I walked you sleepily to bed.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIf I promise that I can be still and not talk, could I share the quiet time with you again?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNothing would make me happier,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

For the rest of the summer, every morning before daylight Mamaw and I would sit at the kitchen table. She talked to God and I listened. Those times always filled me with peace<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But Mamaw was gone now. Gone from her prayer time at that kitchen table, gone from this world, gone from me. Maybe that\u2019s why the dream I\u2019d been having all week left me feeling so unsettled.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you really want to understand your dream,\u201d Arbutis said as I rolled up my blueprints, \u201cyou should do what Mamaw would do. Get up before dawn and listen to God.\u201d<\/p>\n

Getting up before dawn wasn\u2019t as easy these days as it was when I was a young boy. \u201cYou know what? I think I should get my rest instead of trying to talk to God,\u201d I said.<\/p>\n

Arbutis raised an eyebrow. \u201cNo one said you had to talk,\u201d she said. \u201cJust listen.\u201d<\/p>\n

So there I was the next morning, alone on the sun porch, darkness surrounding me like a black shroud, Venus shining brightly in the eastern sky.<\/p>\n

\u201cGod, you know these dreams I have been having. The ones I just can\u2019t understand. Just me alone in Mamaw\u2019s kitchen. I hear her voice, but I\u2019m still alone\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

I could almost see that kitchen, just the way it used to be. Mamaw should be there with me<\/i>, I thought, closing my eyes. Listening.<\/p>\n

A feeling of well-being passed through me, as gentle as a baby\u2019s sigh. And I dreamed again, a daydream with Mamaw right there with me, dressed in white. She touched my face, just like she had all those years ago. I reached out for her, and though she faded from my vision she in no way faded \u201caway.\u201d<\/p>\n

I blinked my eyes open to a bright morning sun. And deep in my heart I knew the message of my dream<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Mamaw was as close to me now as she was when we sat together praying at her kitchen table. She was still talking to God. And she wanted me to keep listening.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
