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.

The cost of oblivious daydreaming was always this moment of return, the realignment with what had been before and now seemed a little worse.

In prayer it is better to have a heart without words than words without a heart.

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.

I had a dream about you last night. Eons ago we created a Universe then sat back and watched miniature versions of ourselves try to make all the same mistakes we did.

We may place blame give reasons and even have excuses but in the end it is an act of cowardice to not follow your dreams.

Someone who dreams cannot be forced to stopthere are no limitations to dreams because we do not own dreams dreams are from God.

Sleep is a little death dreams the whisperings of the Other who would drag us all into his eternal night.

God grant me strength to accept those things I cannot change.

Did she ever feel nostalgia for any of her girlhood dreams But life was made up of a succession of dreams some few to be realized most to be set aside as time went on one or two to persist for a lifetime. It was knowing when to abandon a dream perhaps that mattered and distinguished the successful people in life from the sad embittered persons who never moved on from the first of lifes great disappointments. Or from the airy dreamers who never really lived life at all.
