i have this dream ...but it isnt just a sleepy dream..its been brewing in my soul for years...
i think that i had forgotten it. lost it among bitterness, then complacency...
i think that it was resting...it is not an easy dream. it is not something easy accomplished, nor should it be too hard
it is something that cannot be bought, stole, or borrowed. it is something that is given,
equally, fairly, beautifully. it is not all peaches and cream. but it is not constant pain, nor
constant joy.
it is a fine balance between reality and fanstasy...where the fanstasy comes true, not
perhaps, in the same way that your actual fanstasy plays out, but realistically, but even better.
do you remember those dreams? the ones that were pushed aside, for drama,
for "responsibility" ? or for other reasons.....
fear is a big one. you have this wonderful beautiful dream, but because of realitys hard rolls, you start
losing faith, or you start finding it easier to believe that yoru dream wont come true, just for sake of saving your
feelings from another devastating blow....it happens to all of us.
well...i am speaking to everyone......reclaim it. live it. live it in all its hurt, all its pain, all its joy
dont run...stop and look at your dream and alls its amazing trappings in its face.
now ..if only i could take my own advice.

If there is anyone that I have ever met that is strong enough to take your advise, it's you.
Realizing what the problem *is* exactly is 9/10ths the battle.
I was watching a show one day about men and women in the profession of stunt-person. One guy was basically freefalling off a tall building, he was attached to a small wire that was designed to stop him in the last 10 feet.
He said that he wanted to live. However, he said that if this was the end of his time on earth and he died doing this stunt, that they would have to pick gravel out of his eyeballs. He was going to face his end and his fears.
I really like that attitude. Lord, just give me the strength to face the direction I need to go. I can't go there if I can't face it. Once I can face my dream, then I will worry about the strength to move forward.
Thanks for the poke in the ribs. It's time to get moving, huh?
