In the silence of the heart God speaks. If you face God in prayer and silence God will speak to you. Then you will know that you are nothing. It is only when you realize your nothingness your emptiness that God can fill you with Himself. Souls of prayer are souls of great silence.

I dont collect awards I collect empty trophy cases. Once my collection is large enough Im going to start collecting broken dreams.

And the dreams so rich in color. How else would death call you Waking in the cold dawn it all turned to ash instantly. Like certain ancient frescoes entombed for centuries suddenly exposed to the day.

Somehow I can't believe that there are any heights that can't be scaled by a man who knows the secrets of making dreams come true. This special secret, it seems to me, can be summarized in four Cs. They are curiosity, confidence, courage, and constancy, and the greatest of all is confidence. When you believe in a thing, believe in it all the way, implicitly and unquestionable.

I had a dream about you last night... you were there.

Never lose your passion 2 dream.

...she fell into a long sleep and dreamed he dreams of the dream tree.

Children live in a world of dreams and imagination a world of aliveness There is a voice of wonder and amazement inside all of us but we grow to realize we can no longer hear it and we live in silence. It isnt that God stopped speaking it is that our lives became louder.

In the recurring dream everything has already fallen down and Im underneath. Im crawling sometimes for days under the rubble. And as I crawl I realize that this one was the Big One. It was the earthquake that shook the whole world and every single thing was destroyed. But this isnt the scary part. That part always comes right before I wake up. I am crawling and then suddenly I remember the earthquake happened years ago. This pain this dying this is just normal. This is how life is. In fact I realize there never was an earthquake. Life is just this way broken and I am crazy for dreaming something else.

If you truly feel that self esteem and motivation have to happen first before you can make changes in your life then well probably be sharing walkers at a retirement home as we talk over what might have been.
