I dream.
I dream vividly.
I dream while the moon is high,
I dream while the sun shines upon my face,
I dream while I drive,
I dream while I work,
for every day that I live ..... I dream.
Sometimes I find myself lost in the current WIP, seeing in my mind how the scene is playing out. Watching my characters determined to tell their tale, its then that I understand the dream. There are moments where I am swept away by the dream. When the music lifts and the feeling swells I am encompassed by the dream. I never truly know where it comes from or where it may lead, I only know that within it I find myself daily.
Life allows us these stolen glimpses of what we can be as well as what we are.
We work on the dream,
we dedicate our time to the dream,
we yearn for the dream
we live for its reality.
Most importantly it is our belief in the dream that matters. We must believe that these moments are not wasted, that the time is precious and that our goal is worth fighting for. Dreams have been crushed throughout history because man forgot that the dream cannot be a selfish one; it must be one we share, one we place in the hands of a power that we do not always understand.
Don't forget to dream,
don't forget to have faith in the power of the written word,
don't forget that our visions are important,
don't forget to have faith in the outcome,
don't forget to believe...in yourself.

Like the poetry of this. It particularly captured me because of the post I've scheduled for this Monday to appear on my blog. You'll see what I mean on April 12th ;-)

ReplyDeleteLove this! After all, where would we be without our dreams? Have a great weekend Courtney!
ReplyDeleteGreat post and a great reminder. This is exactly what I needed to read today as I begin to dig deep into some much needed editing.
ReplyDeleteThanks y'all! I have to keep these reminders handy, they push me and I enjoy the push every now & then. You should always remember that we do this because we can & the fact that we can makes every moment worth remembering ;o)
