Is it a small world or a very large world?
To us as individuals a small world but to all humans as a species, as The Collective Consciousness of this planet it's a very large world, too large when we are looking for lost individuals who probabilities and statistics whisper to us are individuals that are lost in a distant cold ocean. A plane full of souls is lost in the cold salty brine we fear but tremble to pronounce.

Pray for the lost souls from the missing Malaysian airliner. Let all Countries join the search for the missing souls. Those who can't search should pray for the souls of the lost.
As I wrote before about the "Beautiful Dreamer" in the Stephen Foster song pray for the beautiful dreamers, the souls of our collective consciousness missing somewhere under the seas.
Here's what Steven Foster Wrote before in verse two of "beautiful dreamer", then my original blog on the missing airliner and my original blog on Stephen Foster's "beautiful dreamer."
Let Stephen Foster's vanished soul help us find the missing souls from the Malaysian airliner. Let us pull together temporarily as a species of Souls to find them.
verse two beautiful dreamer/ Stephen Foster/ 1862
Beautiful dreamer, out on the sea,
Mermaids are chanting the wild lorelei;
Over the streamlet vapors are borne,
Waiting to fade at the bright coming morn.
Beautiful dreamer, beam on my heart,
E'en as the morn on the streamlet and sea;
Then will all clouds of sorrow depart,
Beautiful dreamer, awake unto me!
Beautiful dreamer, awake unto me!

Missing airliner/ part 1/ this author
As I write this we, the world anxiously waits for news in suspense and in surprise over the fate of the passengers on a missing Malaysian airliner.
Suspense because the airliner disappeared from the tracking grid and surprise because despite rescue efforts no trace of the airplane can be detected. It's unusual now a days for anything to be off the grid.
We are surprised and fearful for awhile that no one seems to know with certainty what has happened to the missing plane.
Missing people cause us distress. Each missing passenger has people distressed over their fate. In such a situation fearful grieving loved ones do not want to hear scientific explanations or probabilities. People terrified of the worse for their loved ones want to believe in an all powerful God who orders events and outcomes and can miraculously rescues those they love.
When things happen out of the ordinary it can temporarily upset the order of the World, even a world ruled by probabilities and scientific explanations.
Secretly, ask God this Sunday morning for a positive outcome for the missing passengers on the Malaysian Plane.

Reader please listen to the song as you read the story, lyrics below for reference
No song captures times past like "Beautiful Dreamer " by Stephen Foster, but in addition to capturing past times, the song "Beautiful Dreamer" captures the ephemeral essence of time itself. Stephen Foster's melody and lyric seem anciently familiar but modern and timeless in the love song " Beautiful Dreamer".
Few songs accommodate the subtlety of the quiet serenity of accompaniment offered by the piano as hauntingly and effectively as the song " Beautiful Dreamer". Even the non-musician can discern the subtle intimacy between the performers voice and the intricacy of the timing of the notes played on a piano during a rendition of " Beautiful Dreamer". The melody is repetitive but peaceful; is the sleeping lover deep in dreams or dead?
Stephen Foster uses the Moon, the stars and the Sea in the lyrics of "Beautiful Dreamer" to set the tone for the love song. One's lover is deep asleep, daily life is hard, but the lover must awaken from sleep and dreams to experience love and the release from life's daily throng by hearing the Lover's serenade. The sleeper is the Queen which is serenaded in Foster's song written in 1862; the Queen' s serenade sounds like music from the still and distant past, the music of our ancient relatives, yet the music sounds modern as well and could certainly be re-released today and be popular.
But what of the song " Beautiful Dreamer" enables the song to capture the ephemeral essence of time itself? Maybe it's the unusual 9/8 timing. Difficult to understand intellectually but the ear likes it, the music of dreams, or perhaps death.
Is Stephen Foster's Queen he serenades himself; a part of himself he is trying to awaken? When Foster wrote the song" Beautiful Dreamer" he was two years or less from his untimely death at 37, broke, having sold his songs for pittance and his wife and daughter had left him again. Foster calls to the Queen of his past to put together his life anew; Beautiful dreamer awake onto me. Too late however, his past has overtaken him and now haunts him nightly in his dreams. Life is leaving Stephen Foster behind as it does us all in the end, we become the ghost that the people of the future intuit late at night or when they are tired.
Stephen Foster calls to us from the past; greeting us as dear friends. In answer surrender to Stephen Foster's "Beautiful Dreamer" and hear the soft voice and gentle heart serenade us as we struggle in pain with the cares of life's ephemeral sorrows. When will all sorrow depart?

Beautiful Dreamer by Stephen Foster 1862
1.
Beautiful dreamer, wake unto me,
Starlight and dewdrops are waiting for thee;
Sounds of the rude world, heard in the day,
Lull'd by the moonlight have all pass'd away!
Beautiful dreamer, queen of my song,
List while I woo thee with soft melody;
Gone are the cares of life's busy throng,
Beautiful dreamer, awake unto me!
Beautiful dreamer, awake unto me!
2.
Beautiful dreamer, out on the sea,
Mermaids are chanting the wild lorelei;
Over the streamlet vapors are borne,
Waiting to fade at the bright coming morn.
Beautiful dreamer, beam on my heart,
E'en as the morn on the streamlet and sea;
Then will all clouds of sorrow depart,
Beautiful dreamer, awake unto me!
Beautiful dreamer, awake unto me!
